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

English

Lostsunrise [7]3 years ago

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.

“My mouth is always the reason i get in trouble”
Hunter-Best [27]
Idiom-a group of words established by usage as having a meaning not deducible from those of the individual words. (Ex. A piece of cake)

Onomatopoeia-the formation of a word from a sound associated with what is named (Ex. Boom or crack)

Hyperbole-exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally. (Ex.This guy escapes more times than Houdini)

I would say that this sentence is an hyperbole. This is because an idiom would be a form of figurative meaning that if different from the literal meaning. This is statement is bluntly advertised. There is no hidden meaning behind it. The word doesn’t resemble a sound either so it cannot be an onomatopoeia. I hope this helps

How does the celebration of the holiday bring Unity and close the gaps of the past<br>​
Allisa [31]

Instead of celebrating our individual cultures on Heritage Day, we have embraced the theme of unity to emphasise how as South Africa, we are stronger together. Heritage Day provides the perfect opportunity for us to recognise what unites us rather than what divides us.
