Jordan declares to Nick that she “hates careless people." Explain the irony here. (Great gatsby)

First, let's ask this question to the sentence: What was the concern of the townspeople? That there would be an excess of traffic noise. This information is given immediately before we learn that the townspeople were concerned about it. Thus, we can transform the last clause, "this was a concern of the townspeople," into an appositive. By doing so, we connect the last clause to the rest of the sentence in a simpler yet effective manner. It's as if we are simply adding an extra information to what we already know:

By routing the new highway around the town instead of through the middle of it, the governor prevented an excess of traffic noise, a concern of the townspeople.

Remark

Left Pane

What is freedom? What do people mean when they say they want freedom? Is that really what Andrew wants? Does he know? Suppose someone gave him 10 million dollars. What would that mean?

Would it mean he would never have to return to the business of packing grocery bags and listening to blaring announcements that really mean nothing to him? Would it mean that he could do anything he wanted? Would it mean that he could live endlessly on a beach when he wasn't driving around. Yes, it would mean all of those freedoms. That's what Andrew thinks is Freedom.

So having defined Freedom for Andrew, where do we find it in the writing. Begin with the second paragraph. Gets home, turns on the ignition and kicks the thing into a high roar. And off he goes.

He's responsible. So he starts off slow, but soon speeds up to keep up with the highway traffic. That's part of the freedom: keeping up with whoever is on the highway -- fast driving. Andrew always preferred driving in open air. Wherever he lives, Open Air feels good. [Good thing he doesn't live in Canada where it can get to > - 40oC.]

He dreams of riding forever and never returning to his job. That's freedom. Just find the sentences that say what I've said.

One: The first one depends on what you are told. The character is against a whole bunch of people, plus whoever is competing in the Marathon. I would say it is character against society because there is no one person he is competing against. Check your notes.

Two: A Snake bite? Are snakes not a part of nature? It's man against nature.

Three: A husband and wife arguing? What else is new? Character against character.

Four: Character vs. Self. What shall she do? There's no one else in this scenario. So it is one character vs no one else but herself.

Right Pane

For this one, I'm just going to post an answer. If you disagree, use your answer. The sentence at the end of the first paragraph is the one I would go with. "The world to me what a secret which I desired to divine." Yes he likes the female and she is a good companion, but he finds nature much more interesting. You could pick the next sentence as well.

Explain why the founders might not be troubled by gridlock, even if it hampers the governmental process.

Hoochie [10]

Is like what Sean Roberts said: That the government is made up of three branches, which are made to see each other to make sure no branch is dominating the other two. They are all the time trying to find a balance among the three branches (Judicial, Executive, and Legislative). The founders created this in order to have an effective government in decision making.

Also, Gridlock is when something isn't moving. You can also call it a stalemate. The government is meant to have gridlock. For example, it can take a WHILE, a few years, for a decision to be made on a certain issue, and when it has to do with something controversial it takes longer (like abortion, which still, to this day, is a heated topic in politics), which makes people complain about how "slow" the American government is when making decisions.

Hope this helps.
