Answer and Explanation:
The text we are analyzing here is part of Chapter 8 of "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
The main character, Gatsby, has gone through a lot in his pursuit of Daisy, the love of his life. When Gatsby left for the war, Daisy married Tom Buchanan, an unfaithful millionaire. Now, Gatsby is trying to get her back. He gets involved with criminal businesses to become a millionaire as well and moves to a mansion right across the bay from Daisy's. Gatsby throws grand parties with the hope that Daisy will one day walk through his doors. They eventually become lovers, but a tragedy is about to end it all for them.
"Gatsby shouldered the mattress and started for the pool. Once he stopped and shifted it a little, and the chauffeur asked him if he needed help, but he shook his head and in a moment disappeared among the yellowing trees."
In the text above, Gatsby is about to be killed by George Wilson. There are a couple of symbols in the text that foreshadow Gatsby's death, such as his brief hesitation and the yellowing trees - green would mean life, but yellow is a reminder that winter is on its way, and that the trees will soon look lifeless. It is also interesting to notice that he is finally about to take a swim in his pool, something he hasn't done all summer. It is ironic that, when Gatsby finally takes some time to enjoy his life, it will suddenly be taken from him.

Critical = crisis. They are from the root word crit which means to separate or choose. During a crisis, the protagonist is forced to make a difficult choice. This usually results in some type of internal conflict for the protagonist, creates a learning experience which makes the character dynamic, and often is the climax of the story.
3. the time and place in which the story occurs - setting
The setting is where the story is set. Time and place. Sometimes it helps to think of a movie set. On a movie set, the director is creating the specific place and time in which the story takes place.
Answer:
The first excerpt is an octave and the second is a sestet.
Explanation:
An octave is composed of eight lines, and a sestet has six. Counting the lines, the poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay" by Robert Frost has eight, thus being an octave, and the excerpt from "Hero and Leander" by Christopher Marlowe has six lines, meaning that is a sestet.
No, I feel as we don’t need to know to much of space. We should put more into doctors we need more resources for sickness and dangerous things. Space isn’t that important if we really think about it, why do we need to know about stars and plants we don’t use or need. We need to put more resources into things that are important such as justice for children that are being sex traffic and women and men that are raped and equality to space just isn’t that important. The end
