How does Fitzgerald present the problem of abundance in American culture in the city? Are his observations still valid today? Us
elena-s [515]

Fitzgerald presents the problem of abundance in American culture in the city by showing that the more we have, the less things make sense or bring happiness.

<h3>Fitzgerald and the problem of abundance</h3>

In his famous novel "The Great Gatsby," among the many criticisms Fitzgerald delineates there is the criticism concerning excess. According to the author, the seemingly endless abundance in American culture in the city does not bring much of a benefit to people's lives.

The narrator describes those who live in such a fast-paced, alcohol-filled and party-stricken environment as "hard and languid at twenty-one." He also mentions that nothing seems to impress them anymore, as if they have lost their capacity to see novelty with wonder.

Therefore, Fitzgerald criticizes the abundance or excess culture as something that numbs people.

What is the theme of Childhood and poetry by Pablo Neruda?
Kipish [7]

Answer:

The theme of Childhood and Poetry by Pablo Neruda is sharing Love.

Explanation:

Love or compassion, given or received, enlarges a person's perspective in life.  When it is clear that we have some persons looking after us, we truly believe that life is beyond what we now know.  Love keeps the world in one piece.  Sharing love is the central theme of "Childhood and Poetry" (1950) by Pablo Neruda.  This poem narrated Pablo's personal encounter when he exchanged some gifts with a stranger.
