Answer: C. The car represents the decadence and excess of the 1920s.

<em>The Great Gatsby</em> is a 1925 novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It is considered the author's <em>magnum opus</em>.

The novel portrays the life of the rich classes of Long Island during the 1920s. This period, often referred to as the "Roaring Twenties" was significant for the opulence and excess displayed by society. The book is considered a critique of the American Dream, and of the decadence, idealism and excess of the decade. The car in the excerpt is an example of this theme.

What evidence does Emerson use to support his claim that to be great is to be misunderstood
tigry1 [53]
He claims two things: One that small minds are akin to a "shadow on the wall" and that there is no benefit in trying to please them because one never will.

Secondly, he asserts that other great men, like Luther, Socrates, Jesus, Galileo and Copernicus were also misunderstood, so being misunderstood isn't a bad thing. One should speak his mind fully and firmly and, if misunderstood, recognize that he is in great company.
