Read the excerpt from Flannery O’Connor’s “The Life You Save May Be Your Own.” He held the pose for almost fifty seconds and the

n he picked up his box and came on to the porch and dropped down on the bottom step. “Lady,” he said in a firm nasal voice, “I’d give a fortune to live where I could see me a sun do that every evening.” Keeping in mind the ending of the story, which best describes the irony of Mr. Shiftlet’s statement? Mr. Shiftlet does not need a fortune, as he places no value on financial wealth or the security of having a permanent home. Instead of staying at the plantation, where he can see sunsets like these for the rest of his life, he runs away with Mrs. Crater’s car and money. According to Mrs. Crater, the sun sets like this every evening, and if he stays at the plantation, Mr. Shiftlet will see this regularly. No amount of money can ensure that an individual will witness a sunset to equal this one and will see it every single day.

HELP ASAP (GREAT GATSBY)

After reading the novel "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, we can match the minor characters to their descriptions in the following manner:

  • Meyer Wolfsheim - Business associate of Gatsby's who appears broken over Gatsby's death, but does not attend his funeral.
  • Owl Eyes - The only fellow to show to Gatsby's funeral besides Nick and Gatsby's father.
  • Klipspringer - After Gatsby's death, he calls Nick at Gatsby's house because he wants to collect his shoes. He refuses an invitation to Gatsby's funeral.

<h3>What is a minor character?</h3>
  • Minor characters are less important than the main characters in a story, but they still contribute to the development of the plot and, sometimes, even take part in conflicts.
<h3 /><h3>The minor characters in "The Great Gatsby":</h3>
  • Wolfsheim, Owl Eyes, and Klipspringer are minor characters, which means they are not as important and do not appear as much as Gatsby, Daisy, Tom, and Nick, for example.
  • Wolfsheim is Gatsby's business partner. In other words, he is also a criminal. Although he likes Gatsby very much, he does not attend his funeral.
  • Owl Eyes is a man who wears spectacles and appears to be intoxicated in one of Gatsby's parties. Nick meets him in the library of the mansion. Surprisingly, he is the only one who actually cares about Gatsby's death enough to show up to the funeral.
  • Klipspringer is a musician who lived at Gatsby's mansion. However, that is not enough to make him care about his death. He was most likely just enjoying the comfort and the easy life Gatsby provided him with.

ENGLISH QUESTION WILL GIVE 100 POINTS
djyliett [7]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

Not A cause the whole thing isn't about her knowing the time it's about her anticipation.    

Not B cause nowhere does it mention her using her sense of smell.

So D or C..

In my opinion I'd put D. The paragraph is kinda laid back and it doesn't present that feelings of anticipation and wondering what gonna happen. Jenna doesn't seem as excited as she should be to see that list and even when she does the words make it seem like it's not a big deal to her.
