When Levy was growing up, why was she "indifferent to Jamaica"?

English
1 answer:
kari74 [83]4 years ago
8 0

Answer: She was trying to fit in and be as British as possible

Explanation:

In the essay, ''Back to My Own Country'' by Andrea Levy, we are introduced to Andrea's family who had moved from Jamaica to Britain where she was born.

Her family did not want to appear out of place in Britain and so strove to fit in by acting and talking as British-like as they could. Andrea inherited this and tried as well to act British. This led to her being indifferent to her home country Jamaica so much so that she never bothered to tell her friends about it (not that they cared).

Discuss the novel's theme that the American Dream is corrupted by the desire for wealth. What does the novel and its theme offer
professor190 [17]

Answer: The answer is provided below.

Explanation:

The American Dream—that which hard work can lead a person from rags to riches has always been a core facet of the American identity since its inception. People came from different parts of the world to America seeking freedom and wealth. The Great Gatsby depicted the tide turning east, as people flock to New York City looking for stock market fortunes. This was portrayed in the Great Gatsby shift as the symbol of the corruption of the American Dream. It is no longer a vision of life building but just about getting rich.

Gatsby symbolizes the corrupted Dream and also the original uncorrupted Dream. Gatsby sees wealth as the solution to his problems, seeks money through shady schemes, and also reinvents himself so much and he becomes disconnected from his past. Also, Gatsby's corrupt dream of wealth is triggered by an incorruptible love he has for Daisy.

Gatsby's failure doesn't prove the American Dream but rather it proves a folly of short cutting that dream by allowing materialism and corruption to prevail over integrity, hard work, and real love.
