What is the meaning of the last line in the great gatsby?

1 answer:

7 0

In general the last paragraphs talk about the past. The last sentence is trying to tie up the whole meaning of the novel. Which was Gatsby desperately trying to turn back time and have what he used to have. He compares Gatsby's wonder to the wonder of the sailors who had once discovered the very land in which Gatsby's house stands. The wonder of him being able to see the green light at the end of the dock. The wonder that can never really happen again. But it highlights that Gatsby, and us are doing so ceaselessly. It is a struggle that would never end as we struggle towards turning back time to recapture a moment in our past.

I have homework for ELA and the story I'm reading is "All Summer Day". I need help answering these 2 questions.

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

1. Margot was a very frail girl who looked as if she had been lost in the rain for years and the rain had washed out the blue from her eyes and the red from her mouth and the yellow from her hair. She was an old photograph dusted from an album, whitened away, and if she spoke at all her voice would be a ghost , this made her the odd one out from the other children and was usually kept away from as because of her weird behavior towards others.

2. Margot was fed up of the rain which kept falling and never stopped,

so she decided to not let even a drop of water on her head for she already had enough of it outside..

What are the conflicts in the Scarlet Pimpernel? What types of conflict (physical, moral, intellectual, or emotional) did you no

Vesna [10]

Answer and explanation:

Scarlet Pimpernel is a novel that was written by a british baroness called Emma Orczy in 1905. The major conflict in this novel is a marraige issue between Sir Percy Blakeney and his wife Lady Marguerite, as they don't count with a strong built relationship because they lack trust between them and also they are very stubborn persons. So, taking that into account, it's safe to say that it is an emotional type of conflict.
