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.

Why does the play state that Anne received her diary upon entering the Secret Annex, instead of on her thirteenth birthday, whic
LenaWriter [7]

Explanation:

I could not find the play that you are talking about in you question but I will try to answer it with some information that could be helpful to you.

Anne Frank did receive her diary on her thirteenth birthday but maybe it was hard for directors to show that in the play, since Anne Frank did write in her diary all of the horror situations that she was experiencing.

It was easier for them to show her diary receiving when she has entered the Secret Annex because the<em><u> bookcase</u></em> was considered as the entrance to the Secret Annex that was the hiding place for her and her family.

What may happen if the line length of your electronic cover letter exceeds 65 characters?
zepelin [54]
Nothing will happen. It's a myth. The myth of the one-page letter is so strong that I have heard people ask this question over and over again. Yes, it's true, a one page cover letter is what is considered to be a norm here, but if you have a good reason for exceeding it, I assume nothing will happen. Of course, it differs from place to place. Someone might just disregard it, looking at you as unprofessional because you exceeded the limit that they gave you, which was a test in itself. So it really depends more on the place. Hope this helps
