MAVERICK [17]3 years ago

Answer: The empty materialism that is damaging American society

Explanation:

F.Scott Fitzgerald's <em>Great Gatsby</em> is a novel from 1925. Set in 1922, in the fictional neighborhoods of 'West Egg' and 'East Egg' ( in real life, Great Neck and Port Washington), the novel portrays the decade known as The Roaring Twenties.

During this period of economic growth, people spent their money on expensive clothes and automobiles. This is also characteristic of the characters in the novel - they are convinced that material goods will make them happy. <em>Materialism</em> is the attention given to material wealth rather than spiritual or moral values. As seen in the novel, increased spending does not really make the characters happy. Although Daisy lives in a luxurious house, she feels alone and is dissatisfied with her life. Similarly, Gatsby throws fancy-dress parties, but is a sad man that tragically dies.

I need a free-write fiction 1 paragraph
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

I will try

Explanation:

Paragraph writing in fiction doesn’t follow traditional rules. Like storytelling itself, it is artistically liberated, and that liberation gives it the potential to contribute to the story’s aesthetic appeal. Paragraphs build a story segment-by-segment. They establish and adjust the pace while adding subtle texture. They convey mood and voice. They help readers visualize the characters and the way they think and act by regulating the flow of their thoughts and actions.

In this series, adapted from “The Art of the Paragraph” by Fred D. White in the January 2018 issue of Writer’s Digest, we cover paragraph writing by exploring different lengths and kinds of paragraphs—and when to use each one. [Subscribe to Writer’s Digest today.]

How to Write a Descriptive Paragraph:

Descriptive paragraphs enable readers to slip into the story’s milieu, and as such can be relatively long if necessary. Skilled storytellers embed description within the action, setting the stage and mood while moving the story forward. Here is an example from Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child’s The Lost Island, a thriller in which the protagonists hunt for a lost ancient Greek treasure on a Caribbean island, of all places:
