I would say, Simile because this compares the feeling of seeing the machine to being stabbed by a dozen awls. Similes use like or as to compare two different objects, so that is what leads me to believe this. It cannot be a symbol, because that does not represent anything. It cannot be personification because it does not take a nonliving object and give it human features. I would say that's it a metaphor, but it uses as, so I firmly believe that it is a simile..

Is Fitzgerald an optimist or a pessimist for romance?
elena-s [515]
I would say pessimist. In "The Great Gatsby", Gatsby never ends up getting Daisy. He loved her, but all of his efforts were wasted. She never loved him back. I hope this helps!

Explain this example of foreshadowing regarding Susan; ¨Never in all the time to come will i ever, ever be as happy as i am righ
alina1380 [7]

It is foreshadowed that Susan is at a zenith, a highpoint in her life. This, however seems to be the last highpoint that she will ever be at, insinuating that the rest of her life was much more depressing and less exciting.
