Here is the full passage for this question:

<span>There is likewise another diversion which is only shown before the emperor and the empress, and first minister, upon particular occasions. The emperor lays on the table three fine silken threads of six inches long; one is purple, the other yellow, and the third white. These threads are proposed as prizes for those persons whom the emperor has a mind to distinguish by a peculiar mark of his favor. . . . The emperor holds a stick in his hands, both ends parallel to the horizon, while the candidates advancing, one by one, sometimes leap over the stick, sometimes creep under it, backward and forward, several times, according as the stick is advanced or depressed.
</span>

I think the answer would be: <span>The emperor rewards his subjects for jumping over and under a stick.

The full passage basically tell the readers about the strange contest that both the emperor and the empress like to conduct. We can see from the third sentence that those who are able to finish emperor's contest will be rewarded with a thread of silk.</span>

Discuss the novel's theme that the American Dream is corrupted by the desire for wealth. What does the novel and its theme offer
professor190 [17]

Answer: The answer is provided below.

Explanation:

The American Dream—that which hard work can lead a person from rags to riches has always been a core facet of the American identity since its inception. People came from different parts of the world to America seeking freedom and wealth. The Great Gatsby depicted the tide turning east, as people flock to New York City looking for stock market fortunes. This was portrayed in the Great Gatsby shift as the symbol of the corruption of the American Dream. It is no longer a vision of life building but just about getting rich.

Gatsby symbolizes the corrupted Dream and also the original uncorrupted Dream. Gatsby sees wealth as the solution to his problems, seeks money through shady schemes, and also reinvents himself so much and he becomes disconnected from his past. Also, Gatsby's corrupt dream of wealth is triggered by an incorruptible love he has for Daisy.

Gatsby's failure doesn't prove the American Dream but rather it proves a folly of short cutting that dream by allowing materialism and corruption to prevail over integrity, hard work, and real love.
