Further Explanation:

In the story "The Great Gatsby" Fitzgerald revolves around a love story of a man and a woman but there lies a much bigger platform under the romantic level. The story throws light on the people living during the 1920s in America. He portrays the character and the story who reflect on the hollowness of the moral aspect of the people. The people at that time rushed blindly behind the false and materialistic pleasure. The extravagant parties and the newly rich class of the society are the reflections of the American dream. The desire for money and pleasure constituted the dream of the Americans. The hippocras of the rich people and their lack of sensitivity has been highlighted in the story. The eyes of T.J Eckelberg which were printed on the billboard represented the level of commercialism hidden in the American dream. The eyes reflect on the emptiness in the life of Gatsby. Although he had earned a huge amount of money through illegal activities, still he lacked the presence of Daisy, the love of his life. The eyes represented different aspects for different people. To George Wilson, the eyes reflected the presence of God's eyes over the people. To Nick, it was the past which always keeps an eye on the present and the future.

An important aspect of a theme is that it is "universal" which means it can be applied beyond the story itself. Compare and cont

Alenkasestr [34]

The story “Mercury and the Workmen,” a famous Greek fable, deals with the topic of honesty. In the story, the honest man is rewarded, and the dishonest one punished, highlighting the importance of honesty and the benefits it can bring. This theme is universal, as honesty is appreciated everywhere in the world. This moral therefore is relevant for a wide range of stories and situations beyond the Greek story itself.

Another famous story that gives a lesson on the importance of honesty is “The Necklace” by Guy de Maupassant. There are several similarities between both stories. In both cases, dishonesty is punished, and the dishonest characters end up worse than they would have been if they had not attempted to tell a lie. However, they are different in that in the Greek story, it is Mercury who punishes the liar, while in the French story the consequences are brought about by fate. Also, the motivation to lie in the first story is greed, while in the second one it is a desire for recognition and status. Both stories are good examples of this universal theme.

I am taking advanced math to learn new methods for solving equations. What is the complete infinitive phrase in the sentence?

Ugo [173]

Since an infinitive phrase is a phrase that focuses on the object of the verb and an infinitive verb is an -ing verb, your phrase is "taking advanced math".
