What external conflict do daisy and tom face after myrtle is killed?

CaHeK987 [17]

Daisy was driving when Myrtle was killed. She killed Myrtle but Gatsby is willing to take the blame and the consequences in order to protect Daisy. Daisy only wants to save her own skin. She is selfish and self-centered and Tom is only concerned with maintaining his status in the elite world of the rich and wants nothing to do with scandal. The external conflict would be the law. Daisy will not confess to the hit and run she committed and Tom would not give up his standing in the community to do the honest thing and go to the police with the truth. Daisy and Tom are content with allowing Gatsby to take the blame since it is presumed by some, namely Myrtle's husband, that Gatsby was driving the car at the time of Myrtle's death. Unfortunately for Gatsby, Myrtle's husband arrived before the police and killed him. Both Daisy and Tom are without conscience or a moral compass. They get out of town and never even attend Gatsby's funeral. Kind of hard to face a corpse when you are the reason they are dead.

Select the correct text in the passage.

Serga [27]

Explanation:

In the excerpt from Ozymandias by Percy Shelley, the below lines show that art alone can last forever.
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command.
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things"
The above line is the one that makes us understand that art can last alone forever. Percy Shelley talks about the sculpture's face that lies shattered.
Still, it cannot be forgotten to mention that, the frown, the wrinkled lip and the sneer of the command the face has cannot be missed to be appreciated.
Having understood these passions well, the poet says that the sculptor's accurate and artistic depictions still lives.

Any well-told story, even a true one, has a plot. In your own words, briefly explain what a plot is, and outline a potential plo

Arada [10]

A plot is basically what's going on in a story, the main events in a story. In an action movie, there could be a murderer lurking around and the cops step up to stop him.

The plot is a murderer lurking around and the cops work to stop him.

The plot for a perfect day would probably me just being alone. I enjoy my alone time, and it'll allow me to get my own plans done, and not my plans getting ruined because of someone else's plans.
