The familiar expression that Nick Carraway notices that Gatsby frequently uses is "old sport". Gatsby uses the phrase to address male characters. In order to understand its meaning it should be taken into account that it is a term of endearment used in the twentieth century. It expresses the affection that Gatsby felt towards Nick.

It could be said that the use of this term shows Gatsby true self. He wants to be taken as a man who comes from old money backgrounds, he does not want the world to see him as a new rich. Perhaps, by using this language he can hide his real personality as well.

Reread lines 5-15 of "Nature". How is man "always a child" in the woods? Which sentence acts as a central idea and best supports

Drupady [299]

Answer:

A man is 'always a child' in the woods as it is only the child spirit within a man that recognizes the beauty of nature as it is.

The central idea presented by Waldo in the essay is that in nature a man tends to meet and find his best self. The sentence that supports this is, "In the woods, we return to reason and faith."

Explanation:

"Nature" is an essay written by Ralph Waldo Emerson. The essay is drawn from the materials Emerson had recorded in sermons, lectures, and journals.

In the essay, Emerson states that a man has to cast off his age (matureness) to comprehend nature as it is, just like a snake casts off his slough.

A man is 'always a child' in the woods as only the spirit child within a man can truly comprehend nature as it is, unlike an adult who manipulates nature.

The central idea that Emerson presents in the essay is that it is in nature a man finds his best self. The sentence that best supports this is, "In the woods, we return to reason and faith."
