Myrtle and Gatsby have one thing in common: they're both trying to rise above their station. Like Gatsby, Myrtle isn't happy with the class she was born to. She insists that she married beneath her, and she tries to talk about the "lower orders" as though she's not one of them: "I told that boy about the ice." Myrtle raised her eyebrows in despair at the shiftlessness of the lower orders. "These people! You have to keep after them all the time" (2.69).

So, what makes Gatsby and Myrtle different? Gatsby is a tragic hero, while Myrtle, in Fitzgerald's portrait, is a ridiculous fool. Is it that Gatsby strives out of love, while Myrtle does it out of greed? Or is it simply because Gatsby is a man—and Myrtle had the tragedy of being born a woman?

Answer and Explanation:

One possibility is using the subordinating conjunction "since", or "provided that":

- Since choosing between a desktop and a laptop models is a decision for the consumer, the decision is personal.

- Provided that choosing between a desktop and a laptop models is a decision for the consumer, the decision is personal.

Another possibility is using the conjunction "because":

- Choosing between a desktop and a laptop models is a decision for the consumer because it is personal.

What they want you to do is to select one of the given prompts that they have written out for you. Either Prompt One or Prompt Two.

If I were to choose Prompt One, I would follow the instruction as given. I would Google or otherwise find and read an American short story and also a historical document as they have told me to. Once I read them both, I would proceed to follow the instruction and compare and contrast both pieces of writing with a paragraph or two as they have told me to do at the beginning.

Basically, they want you to read and write a compare and contrast little bit.
