1 answer:

3 0

It represents the moral and social decay that results from the uninhibited pursuit of wealth, as the rich indulge themselves with regard for nothing but their own pleasure. The valley of ashes also symbolizes the plight of the poor, like George Wilson, who live among the dirty ashes and lose their vitality as a result.

How can you love Chinese food and not know that you love it? The misplaced modifier is <em>and does not know it</em>.

What the person does not know, I would guess, is that there is a new restaurant located on the corner of Oak and Burberry that specializes in Chinese food.

There is a new restaurant on the corner of Oak and Burberry specializing in Chinese Food. If you didn't know about the Blue Lantern, check it out. Your taste buds will delight in your new discovery.

I can't think of a way of doing this without splitting this into 3 sentences and providing a name so I'm not repeating myself. If your teacher finds this unacceptable please put it in a comment and I'll see what I can do.
