The Great Gatsby highlights __________.

English
1 answer:
MAVERICK [17]3 years ago
8 0

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.

According to Woolf, what general conditions make works of genius difficult to produce? What special conditions do women face in
Sloan [31]

Woolf states that is difficult that genius is produced by uneducated people, such as women in Shakespeare's time were, and such the worker class is today. If a person doesn't have the chance to study, to practise, to get experience at the chosen craft, it is impossible that becomes a genius. Geniosity is not a gift but something that can be achieved by study and practise.

Women in Shakespeare's time didn't have a chance to become genius, they had to work ward for other people, their families first or their husbands when the time came. A woman "born with a great gift in the sixteenth century would certainly have gone crazed, shot herself, or ended her days in some lonely cottage outside the village, half witch, half wizard, feared and mocked at." To pursue her dream would have been "doing a violence to herself", to make themselves face rejection and mockery on and on and on wold make anybody ill, physically or psychologically. And if they managed to survive and write, "looking at the shelf where there are no plays by women, her work would have gone unsigned".

Reread the arguments on the previous slide about the positive and negative aspects of social media. In a well-constructed paragr
storchak [24]

Answer:

<u>Sample Response: </u>The argument in favor of social media use is the stronger argument. The article claims that students do better in school when they use social media. The author gives anecdotal evidence that students use social media to discuss classwork, then uses empirical evidence to show that grades went up in a study where students used social media. The argument against social media is weak because it lacks specific evidence. The writer uses the rhetorical device of parallelism to list a variety of ill effects of social media use. However, the writer never offers any evidence for these negative effects. This writer uses the bandwagon fallacy by telling the audience that most people who want to do well do not use social media.
