Context clues are details that help a reader understand later parts of a passage or sentence.

Ex. The corgi, who had been rummaging in the garbage, smelled nasty.

If we are trying to find out what the word "nasty" means, the context clue in this sentence is "rummaging in the garbage". Garbage has a bad smell to it, a very unpleasant smell. Therefore nasty means unpleasant.

I hope my example helped you! ;)

Is Jay Gatsby true to his identity

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

His real name is James Gatz and he came from a no-name family in North Dakota. This is something he is quite ashamed of and so he creates a new identity for himself. Although he does gain wealth, he will never be like Tom and Daisy who were raised in that world. This is demonstrated through the extravagant car he drives and his attempt at imitating the lavish life he desires. It's absolute phony and characters see through this charade. He also tries so hard to relive the past that he abandons his current self. Gatsby truly lives in a fantasy world and thus, cannot be true to his identity.
