How does the dialogue reveal that Sacho respects Don Quixote in the story?
mr Goodwill [35]

The correct answer is option A: He tells him the "giants" are windmills.

Cervantes wrote Don Quixote in two parts, published respectively in 1605 and 1615. Sancho and Don Quixote come across a field of windmills, which Don Quixote sees as a group of giants. Sancho tells him they are not giants but windmills. Don Quixote replied that Sancho is not experienced in these matters, and that is why he can not see that they are clearly giants. Then, Sancho tries to dissuade Quixote, but he attacks one of the windmills, damaging his spear and acquiring some injuries. Sancho tells Quixote that it was foolish to attack the windmills. Quixote tells him that the evil magician Freston changed the giants into windmills to deprive him of his victory.

Analyze the elements of modernist poetry in Elizabeth Bishop’s poem "The Fish."
UNO [17]

Elizabeth, in her poem, describes her feelings when catching the fish. She gives a very detailed description of the fish while showing an imagist style while doing so.

For example, she uses the following phrases:

"its pattern of darker brown

was like wallpaper:

shapes like full-blown roses

stained and lost through age".

She did not use a rhyme scheme to give the poem a musical quality like many poets used to do. Instead, she uses 'alliteration' to create rhythm. Such quality consists of repeating the same sound or letter at the beginning of each or most of the words in a sentence.

"still crimped from the strain and snap".

"still crimped from the strain and snap".

Nick says, "[Gatsby] couldn’t possibly leave Daisy until he knew what she was going to do. He was clutching at some last hope an
lord [1]

Answer:

The quote said by Nick means that Daisy will not leave Tom for Jay, thus making it evident that jay Gatsby will be left again.

This quote is important as it gave a foreshadowing of what Jay will be getting, his illusion of getting back with Daisy being shattered and he will be left alone again.

Explanation:

"The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald tells the courage and commitment of a man named Jay Gatsby in his aim of attaining his previous lover Daisy even though sh had already been married to Tom Buchanan. the story also shows the different lives that the wealthy people like Tom and Daisy lead in comparison to Nick and Gatsby.

In Chapter 8, Nick says that <em>"[Gatsby] couldn’t possibly leave Daisy until he knew what she was going to do. He was clutching at some last hope and I couldn’t bear to shake him free."</em> This statement shows his concern for his neighbor who seem to still think that he has a chance to get Daisy but which was an unlikely scenario as Nick already knows his cousin Daisy will not leave Tom for Jay. The statement means that Jay will be unsuccessful in his aim of getting Daisy.

This statement is also important as it acts as the final 'nail in the coffin' or Gatsby as it is the scene where he will be again dejected and left alone, unsuccessful in his illusion of regaining what he had previously lost.
