- - What do such fantasies reveal about Dexter's character? That Dexter is a superficial and naive dreamer that fails to look beyond appearances. Not only are things not as epic and glorious to ego as he thinks but also that he fails to appreciate what he actually has, in favor of an illusion of something that does not even exist (his impressions of the external appearance and glitter of wealth do not even reflect on the underlying consequences of such wealth and on how these men actually got wealthy). He is thus incapable of understanding reality and his dreams are a distorted version of it based on his own projections.

- - Why does the author choose to tell us about Dexter's fantasy life? Because it provides the reader with an insight on the shallowness and futility of Dexter's quest. By comparing reality to dreams, Fitzgerald provides an inkling that foreshadows the end result of Dexter's quest: a dual occurrence of a bleak yet wealthy reality and his disillusioned, extravagant dreams.

Your cover letter and resume should be no more than one page each. <br> a. True<br> b. False
IgorLugansk [536]
<span> As a general rule, if your cover letter is more than one page, it is too long. Cover letters are supposed to be a summary (not an exhaustive list as that is what a resume is for) of your work history, some of the applicable skills you acquired on the previous jobs that will be useful on the job you are applying for, an expression of strong interest in the job being applied for, and a request for additional contact to discuss the job you are applying for. Consider that the person reading it will be reading your cover letter and resume along with, perhaps, 200 other people's resumes and cover letters. If they have to take too long to review yours, they aren't going to be able to review everybody else's in a timely manner. Try to keep your cover letter to one page as an absolute maximum.</span>
