Read this excerpt from "Schenck v. U.S., 249 U.S. 47 (1919)": The document in question upon its first printed side recited the f

irst section of the Thirteenth Amendment, said that the idea embodied in it was violated by the conscription act and that a conscript is little better than a convict. In impassioned language it intimated that conscription was despotism in its worst form and a monstrous wrong against humanity in the interest of Wall Street's chosen few. It said, 'Do not submit to intimidation,' but in form at least confined itself to peaceful measures such as a petition for the repeal of the act. The other and later printed side of the sheet was headed 'Assert Your Rights.' It stated reasons for alleging that any one violated the Constitution when he refused to recognize 'your right to assert your opposition to the draft,' and went on, 'If you do not assert and support your rights, you are helping to deny or disparage rights which it is the solemn duty of all citizens and residents of the United States to retain.' It described the arguments on the other side as coming from cunning politicians and a mercenary capitalist press, and even silent consent to the conscription law as helping to support an infamous conspiracy. According to the protest document, what is the duty of Americans?
A. To assert and maintain their rights .
B. To confine themselves to peaceful measures.
C. To submit to intimidation.
D. To consent to conscription.

GenaCL600 [577]

Explanation:

external conflicts are when a character vs nature, society, technology, or another character. internal conflicts are when a character vs himself or herself. internal and external conflicts can make a character think or act a certain way to reveal a theme. external conflicts are identified by looking for what is stopping the character other than themselves. internal conflicts are identified by looking why and how the character is holding themselves back. Hopefully this helps you understand this concept better.

S Gatsby a criticism of the American Dream, or does it (cautiously) reaffirm it? Or is it something else entirely? (CLUE: Note t
UNO [17]

Answer: In <em>"The Great Gatsby",</em> Fitzgerald criticizes people's obsession with consumer culture and their wrong perception of the American dream.

Explanation:

F. Scott Fitzgerald's <em>"The Great Gatsby"</em> is a 1925 novel. Set in 1922, in the fictional towns of West and East Egg on Long Island, the novel explores the character of Jay Gatsby, and rich people around him. One of the main topics explored in the novel is that of the "American dream." The term was first used by James Truslow Adams, who described it as<em> "that dream of a land in which</em><em> life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone</em><em>, with </em><em>opportunity for each according to ability or achievement</em><em>" </em>("The Epic of America", 1931). Adams later argued that people have focused on gaining wealth so much that they forgot about the true values of the American dream. He reminds people that the American dream<em> "has not been a dream of merely material plenty."</em>

It could be argued that what Fitzgerald was trying to demonstrate in his novel is the corruption of the American dream. It seems that the characters put effort into gaining wealth, while they feel empty inside. The most obvious example is Jay Gatsby himself, as a man who has it all - luxurious house, expensive clothes, etc. However, he feels sad because he cannot be with the woman he loves and is lonely in his big house.
