My own house was an eyesore, but it was a small eyesore, and it had been overlooked, so I had a view of the water, a partial vie

w of my neighbor's lawn, and the consoling proximity of millionaires—all for eighty dollars a month. Across the courtesy bay the white palaces of fashionable East Egg glittered along the water, and the history of the summer really begins on the evening I drove over there.
What message do phrases such as "the consoling proximity of millionaires" and "white palaces of fashionable East Egg glittered" convey to the reader?

Answer:

Financial wealth is desirable to the narrator.

Explanation:

"The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald is a story about the protagonist Jay Gatsby's tragic story of his pursuit of his young love Daisy Buchanan. Daisy is a wealthy young woman married to Tom Buchanan, while Jay is a self made millionaire.

The story is narrated by Nick Carraway who had moved to this part of town. He is seen describing his house in chapter 1, saying that his <em>"own house was an eyesore, but it was a small eyesore.......</em>". His use of the phrases <em>"the consoling proximity of millionaires"</em> and<em> "white palaces of fashionable East Egg glittered" </em>shows that Nick considers financial wealth desirable. He says that staying in close proximity to millionaires is consoling, and the houses in East Egg are fashionable white palaces, glittering, looking attractive in comparison to his own house in West Egg.

There are several critics on the issue of students taking snacks or food to class. Some teachers say that it will cause too much distraction, reducing student's ability to learn as they will share snacks and will be looking at what other students brought to class.

However, consider the fact that middle school learners are growing at an incredible rate. Their body needs energy and their minds get tired if they spend too much time withouth eating.  Food is like fuel to the brain. Allowing snacks will actually increase sutdnet's ability to learn as it will take away the distraction of hunger.

Why is english class an essential part of education
cluponka [151]

Answer:

Hey there!

English classes are an essential part of education, as they enhance your communication, and social skills. The techniques and skills that you learn in English class, can make  for better and more powerful writing, fluent reading, and correct grammar when speaking, and learning these skills can make you a better, and more persuasive person. English classes also (at least in my experience) teach you how to get ideas across to others. You can have an idea, but without the proper way to address it, it just remains a thought, and not a plan in action. Thus, this is why I believe that english classes are essential to education.

Let me know if this helps :)

It is important to be surrounded by beauty. Not just in art in everything. Art inspires people, it can inspire young and old. But art objects everywhere you look is overwhelming and can start the idea of plagiarism.

In a house not too small not too large. In a popular city where people have big houses and nice things. One moment someone has silly glasses the next day everyone has them. People copy people to get noticed. At home you hear crying yelling. You can feel the unloving feeling against you.
