Note to friends: a note is informal and straight to the point
Hey. I know we had plans but there's been a change. I got in trouble a while back and my parents are sure of me going out. I've been trying everything, from doing all of my homework, getting good grades, and even doing extra chores. I will try to convince them to let me hang tonight. Talk to you soon and I'll keep you updated.
Letter to parents: Formal and well-planned
Dear Mom and Dad,
I understand that you may still be upset that I messed up. I am truly sorry and I promise it will never happen again. I am writing this letter to ask you for leniency in your rules. I understand that I must suffer the consequences of my actions, but please consider the fact that I have never been in trouble before. I assure you I have learned from my actions and these things will never happen again. I am asking for a latter curfew hour and more days to spend with my friends. I ask that you think hard about this and consider the facts.
Thank You,
(Your name)

<span>A) Here is what my mother said to me, at least once: "Jerry, you've got to try a little harder."

I think it is A) He increased emphasis on the Capulet-Montague conflict.
In this passage, Nick reflects on what the landscape must have looked like when the Dutch explorers arrived to the continent. He is looking at Gatsby's house, and at this point in the novel, we know that Nick believes that New York, as well as the people he has met, are vile, corrupt and greedy. He contrasts this view with that of the pristine continent on the arrival of the European settlers.
The phrase "fresh, green breast of the New World" presents a view that is "fresh." The land is new, but it is also fresh in the sense that it is not rotten. The land has not yet been "infected" with the corruption of modern times. Therefore, the phrase is intended to represent a time before America had become a land of greed and vice.
