Answer:

A. Selfishness and greed

Explanation:

With these words, said by one of the characters of the novel, Nick, who was referring to Tom and Daisy, Fitzgerald is criticizing the ruthless, selfish and greedy nature of these two characters: they do as they please, have no consideration for others, do harm on purpose, and simply walk away from the mess they make and go back to their materialistic way of living. Their behavior, indeed, was intended to reflect the American way of living during the 1920s which was characterized for little regard for morals.

Why is faith so important? ( 2 paragraph essay)
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Explanation:

Faith is important because it sets a certain amount of morals for us as humans to follow. When thinking about it, most religions have something that is similar between them and something that is different, most of the time the thing that is similar to that in which we all believe in a higher power. All throughout history, religion has set standards for us to follow. Without religion, I feel the world would be left in despair into some would- be life-threatening as it gives us a reason to live our lives and follow the basic principles that allow us to strive to become better people in this world of chaos.

Religion sets us up to succeed in following the basic principles of life by adjusting the way we live our lives. Without religion would we have been as advanced in society as we are today? Society strives off of accomplishing new advancements and new findings every day and allows us to correct the error found in our everyday lives. It is a well-known fact that no one is perfect and knowing that ahead of time allows us to be set for much more success than those who choose to ignore it. The overall concept of religion is, in theory, smart and allows for everyone to expand their views and even if there isn't some unknown power, or God, or whatever fits each individual religion, it helps us when it comes to funerals and other traumatic life-changing experiences. Without religion what would we do when a loved one died or we witnessed something bad? That is the power behind religion, it unites us all in our differences and gives each individual a reason to live and do good in the world.

Ilya [14]
A sentence that has two or more main clauses and one or more subordinate clauses is called a compound-complex sentence. For example, Jessie reads novels, and Lucas reads poetry, but Gordon reads magazines because novels and poetry are difficult to comprehend. "Jessie reads novels", "Lucas reads poetry", and "Gordon reads magazines" are the independent clauses, while "because novels and poetry are difficult to comprehend" is the dependent clause.
