Answer:

Two themes in the poem “Richard Cory” are envy and irony. The residents of the town in which Richard Cory lives are envious of him, as shown in these lines:

In fine, we thought that he was everything  

To make us wish that we were in his place.

These townspeople are poor and detest the lives they lead, so they envy Richard Cory, who is wealthy and cultured. They admire everything he does and wish that they were in his place. The irony in the poem is seen in the last two lines when Richard Cory shoots himself:

And Richard Cory, one calm summer night,  

Went home and put a bullet through his head.

What was not apparent to the townspeople was that the man who seemed to have everything was so unhappy that he took his own life.

Loneliness- Richard Cory has everything it seems. He had money and nice things. He was a decent looking fellow. But despite all of this, he did not have friends or family it seemed to share in his accomplishments or delight.

Contrasting perspectives- The people who speak of Richard Cory see him as almost royalty. He is everything that each of them would hope to be. When they see him on the street they all admire and envy him, because he has the luxuries that they do not. However, his life must not have been what they perceived, because Richard Cory ends up committing suicide. Usually when someone takes their own life, it is because they are greatly unhappy with it.

How does Wealth in the great gatsby relate to today's world
Natalija [7]
Nearly a century after its publication, F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" remains a literary classic. One challenge it presents, though, is understanding how the Roaring '20s tale of Jay Gatsby's pursuit of wealth and romance at all costs is still relevant nearly a century later. The novel's portrayal of materialism, superficial relationships and the myths of fame and celebrity create remarkable parallels between Gatsby's world and the present day.

Materialism
Possessions and status are a key ingredient to many of the characters' lifestyles. In order to attract Daisy's interest, Gatsby defines himself by his enormous house, decadent parties and distinctive cars and clothing. Daisy, too, values materialism, as the convenience of her marriage to wealthy polo player Tom Buchanan keeps her from fully embracing Gatsby's vision for their future. High school English teacher David Dowling writes that America's continued obsession with materialism is one reason for the novel's permanence, depicting the conflict between moral values and the desire for wealth that still entangles people today.

Determine whether the definition below is connotative or denotative.
motikmotik
The answer is connotative, so choice A.

The reason why is because the denotative definition is "a place where you live, reside" which is the literal definition of "home". This is the definition you'd find in the dictionary. Whereas the definition of "warmth, comfort and affection" is an emotional connection often placed on the word "home".
