Answer:

The sentence explains a time of struggling when we get nothing at the end and are brought back to our past or near past. Like a boat which is continuously rowed but is found at the same place at the end of the day.

Explanation:

This refers to the dualities of Gatsby and America. Nick is saying he will get into Gatsby's boat, the one that only sailed backwards on the sea of history--into the past to recapture his childhood dreams.

This book was written in 1922 and accordingly it was a time of struggling. In the boat rowing a continuous struggle is required to move it forward, likewise a continuous struggle was required in 1922 to improve the country's situation. But everything seemed useless as the struggle took them to their past to a place from where they had begun.

Last year we went on a canoe trip in the Adirondack Mountains. We didn't take much food along--- just a frying pan and some butter. We thought we would catch fish and eat them. A local man told us, "The fish don't bite in this weather. " But we didn't pack any fish to speak of. This year we are going canoeing again. We will be packing more food this time.

3.The Mystery of Death

The Mystery of DeathAnd, since death is both the cause and the consequence of revenge, it is intimately tied to the theme of revenge and justice—Claudius's murder of King Hamlet initiates Hamlet's quest for revenge, and Claudius's death is the end of that quest.

Maya has earned high grades in honors algebra and is writing a letter to her principal asking to take other honors classes.
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

<em>Based on my grades in honors algebra, I believe I would do well in other honors classes.</em>

Explanation:

Since Maya is writing a letter to her principal it is necessary to maintain a certain level of formality during communication. The first answer has a somewhat rude, bossy tone to it.

The second answer although acceptable is still not considered formal enough; she is nearly expressing her wish to attend honors classes.

So the most suitable answer would be <em>Based on my grades in honors algebra, I believe I would do well in other honors classes</em> as it perfectly balances Maya`s previous experience, modest way of looking at the future improvement, not exaggerating with bragging with past results or promising more than she can do.
