Review the excerpt from "Lather and Nothing Else." The lather was drying on his face. I must hurry. Through the mirror, I took a

look at the street. It appeared about as usual; there was the grocery shop with two or three customers. Then I glanced at the clock, two-thirty. Which phrases does the author use to quicken the pace and build suspense?

Answer:

I must hurry.

Then I glanced at the clock, two-thirty.

Explanation:

These are the phrases that the author uses in order to quicken the pace of the passage and build suspense. In these sentences, the speaker is getting ready to shave someone. We know this because we learn that the lather was drying on the man's face. However, we also get the feeling that the situation is a tense one. This is due to two main reasons. First, the speaker tells us that he must hurry. Second, the speaker glances at the clock and notices the time, emphasizing the fact that he is in a rush.

Do you personally believe that schools kill creativity?
Mrrafil [7]

I believe that it does uniform-wise. Using uniforms does help with the school to limit out who is supposed to be there or not, but the thing is, everyone is the same. Schools are setting us up for being factory workers, making us sit in straight rows and stand in lines. Making us do this and that, when in reality none of us want to be some silly factory worker. We want to be artists, scientists, actors, etc. There are clubs for that but it is limited to how good people are or how well they do in something. Back to the clothing, what about people who want to be designers one day? Aren't they going to want to practice what they love? They can't even show what they want to show because of school! Oh well, that's just how it is.

2. Why do Tom and Nick stop in the Valley of Ashes on their way to the city? How does
lawyer [7]

Answer:

Tom and Nick stopped at the Valley of Ashes to met Myrtle Wilson, Tom's mistress.

Nick feels that he'd been forced to meet her and felt that Tom hadn't even told him beforehand or given him any choice to meet her.

Explanation:

F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby" revolves around the story of Jay Gatsby and his lost American Dream. The novel also focuses on the themes of wealth, social class, love, appearance, and reality, etc. through the characters.

In Chapter 2, Nick recalls how Tom<em> "literally forced"</em> him to met Myrtle Wilson, his mistress. Tom felt that Tom's approach of his<em> "company (is) bordered on violence" </em>and that Tom had the<em> "supercilious assumption [...] that on Sunday afternoon I had nothing better to do."</em> This shows how Nick was unprepared and even maybe felt coerced to meet the woman, despite not expressing any desire to be acquainted with her.
