u as odd?

First of all, Gatsby comes right out and asks Nick what he thinks of him. This is an odd question for anyone to ask, given that socially it would be considered rude. Stranger still is that he does not give Nick time to answer, he just moves forward with telling Nick a bunch of things about himself. 

The second thing that is odd, is that Gatsby says he is from the "middle-west". When Nick asks what part, he says "San Francisco" which is on the far west coast.

The third thing that is odd, even though Nick is feeling like everything Gatsby says is a lie, is when Gatsby actually pulls out a couple pieces of evidence that he is actually telling the truth! He shows Nick a medal from Montenegro and a picture of him at Oxford.

Write a short text about Charles dickens and his books. Also some interesting facts but not too long
Iteru [2.4K]

Charles Dickens was the most remarkable Victorian writer. While he was alive, his works counted with great popularity among all social classes, especially with proletariat, a class which dreadful conditions Dickens denounced through his novels.

When he was twelve years old, he found himself in the necessity to work to help in his home. Despite things got better and there was no need of Charles' money in the house, his mother was not willing to let him stop working and that was a decision the future author of <em>Great Expectations, David Copperfield, A Tale of Two Cities </em>and <em>Oliver Twist</em>, among others, would never forget or forgive.

Orphanhood, poverty, upper classes' abuse, proletariat, loneliness and the promise of and ending that would heal the characters' suffering throughout the story, are the main element of a novelist whose purpose was not only to entertain, but to raise awareness of how the difference between social classes made the most vulnerable pay for their uncommitted sins.
