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.

Hey, I’m participating in an imagery writing contest at school, and the theme is Love and Longing. Does anyone have any ideas on
slamgirl [31]

Love and Longing...     Longing can be expressed as a feeling of wanting or missing something. Say you have a really good expensive video game you want but you can not have, the feeling of wanting the video game and knowing you can not have it would be longing.

As for your story, I can bet you $10 that almost every one is going to have a Romeo and Juliet, because it is one of the most famous Love and Longing stories out there. So I would think outside the box. Say you really like chocolate but you can have it anymore because they don't make it anymore. Or go with the video game theme and say they brand new video game that has come out is only for VR, but you don't have VR, oh!! And say the video game is a sequale to a super good game. Something silly that does not have to do with you walling for the boy/girl/it next door.

XOXO

Which of the following types of edits to direct quotes is inappropriate? (5 points)
dlinn [17]

Answer:

The type of edit to direct quotes which is inappropriate is the following one:

Correcting errors in the quote.

Explanation:

If it is a direct quote, it is supposed to be as genuine as possible, that is, the essence of what was said by that particular person must be kept, and that includes not only what was said, but also how it was said- errors and all.

Eg: Let's say you want to quote Joker (played by Heath Ledger in "The Dark Knight") and you write:

As said by Joker: "Why <u>are you</u> so serious?"

In the example above, the essence of the original quote was lost, since the omission of verb and subject (Why so serious?) was what gave the classic quote its mysterious charm. So, it is best to keep it the way it actually is:

As said by Joker: "Why so serious?"

Which of the following sentences exhibits proper parallelism?
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

The sentence with the best elements of parallelism of the examples provided is Option B.  Science may be challenging, but it is also rewarding; reading might be time-consuming, but it is also enlightening.

Explanation:

Parallelism is a property of the way your sentences are structured in a piece of writing. It is usually a property that is particularly important when providing lists in something you write.  All points on a list should start with a word in the same format, i.e. the listed elements should all start with a noun -- or a verb, if that is the case -- but not a mixture of those two elements.  You see this mistake a lot on peoples resumes when they are listing things.  Option B is best because "reading" is treated like the noun "science" in this case.  Another example of the work "reading" being treated like a noun would be: "I have done the reading." Both sentences use the verb in the present progressive form in the second independent clause ending each sentence. That is another way they are parallel.  There are other grammatical similarities that could be considered parallelsim in this example too!
