Answer:

The first sentence refers to Daisy: the sole and intense purpose of Gatsby's existence. She represents that thing "beyond the stars" that Gatsby aspires to. His entire adult life has been devoted to becoming the kind of man he thought would be worthy for Daisy to marry. Daisy's family was wealthy and socially respectable; Gatsby came from nothing. Their youthful love affair ended in tragedy because Daisy felt she couldn't marry someone with no money or social standing. In becoming wealthy and socially viable, Gatsby also became decadent. The "purposeless splendor" of his lifestyle is revealed to be far deeper and more significant, as Nick realizes Gatsby's singular purpose is to win back Daisy. In Nick's eyes, this makes Gatsby even more impressive and admirable, because Gatsby represents chivalry and romance in a decadent modern age.

Trace the structure of Tan's essay, describing both its organization and its methods. How does the structure of her essay suppor
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

It could be said that Tan's essay might be a “compare/ contrast” one, because it is presented as a comparison of the English language. She exposes his ideas and provides examples of them , personal experiences and she gives a definition of “mother tongue” and she resorts to his mother to provide a clear example of this topic.The she provides more examples to illustrate her point. It could be said that the text is divided into 3 parts: part 1 presents some situations about different styles of English. Part 2 addresses to her mother limitations with the language and the last part, n°3 focuses on her and how she wrote her stories.

My family left the fair at 8:00, so we missed the fireworks display.
dolphi86 [110]

Hey there!

Answer:

Compound

Explanation:

It contains a main clause (My family left the fair at 8:00) a conjunction(so) and another main clause (we missed the fireworks display).So it's a compound sentence.

-It can't be a <em>simple</em><em> </em><em>sentence</em><em> </em>because it has a subordinate clause.

-It can't be a <em>compound Complex </em><em>sentence</em><em> </em>because it only has 1 main clause and not 2.

-It can't be a complex sentence since it doesn't have a subordinate clause.

Definitions:

A <em>simple sentence</em> has 1 main clause.e.g. The boys fought.

A <em>compound sentence</em> has two main clause E.g. Peter went to the mall and he returned late.

A <em>compound conplex</em> has 2 or more main clauses and 1 or more subordinate clause.E.g. Jude travelled and she brought her cousin to live with her.

A <em>complex sentence</em> has a main clause and a subordinate clause.E.g. The boy bumped into the table and he fell onto the floor.

Note:

A <em>main clause</em> is a group of words that can stand on its own whilst a subordinate clause can't as it doesn't represent a complete idea.

Hope this helps!
