Answer:

Jay Gatsby

Explanation:

In "The Great Gatsby," the author Francis Scott Fitzgerald makes a comparison between Gatsby and Jesus Christ to illustrate Gatsby's creation of his own identity. Thus, Gatsby becomes the model of perfection that he conceives for himself (a "Platonic conception of himself") as a young man and persists faithful to it in spite the obstacles from society. Finally, Gatsby's refusal to recognize his self-conception brings him to ruin.

Explanation:

Read the two arguments. First, identify the similar claim in both passages. Then, explain which argument is more effective in supporting that claim and why. Make sure you include specific references to each argument when developing your response.

Passage

Argument 1:

One thing's for sure: We don't want to be caught unprepared the way we were last winter. Before November rolls around, Mountain City needs more heavy equipment to clear the roads and keep our drivers and pedestrians safe. During the winter season last year, consumers flocked to the Mountain City Mall in record numbers. This included many people from the surrounding towns of Mitchell and Pike, and studies show that those two towns are home to notoriously bad drivers. Keeping the roads clear will ensure we're all much safer.

Argument 2:

Mountain City needs to purchase more snow plows and snow-removal equipment. Over the last two winters, we all saw how the snow piled up because the city wasn't able to remove it. Two of the four main streets that cross the city were blocked for well over two months. In addition, traffic accidents nearly doubled last winter, and according to safety officer Rich Daddy, "the vast majority of the new winter accidents were because of snow." With an even more severe winter predicted by forecasters for this year, it's time to get the equipment we desperately need.
