6. How does Fitzgerald show Myrtle's transformation from gas station wife to rich guy's girlfriend?

English
1 answer:
Aliun [14]4 years ago
5 0

Answer: Through pointing out the differences between the classes of society and how Myrtle is desperate to be a part of it.

Explanation: Myrtle is desperate to get as far away from her depressing life with Wilson at the gas station as she can, surrounding herself with the material trappings that Tom can provide: an apartment, clothes, and an accessory dog.

In a novel that is all about the American drive to get ahead, Myrtle is one of the strivers, willing to put up with terrible treatment in exchange for a chance to climb higher. So are the people hanging on her coattails, like the McKees and Catherine. Seeing her with this shows us just how striated (separated into layers) society is, as Myrtle grabs every tiny opportunity to demonstrate her slightly higher status to her entourage.

How does Marjane Satrapi use structure and style to achieve a specific purpose for a specific audience?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

I believe that you are talking about the work "Persepolis" written and designed by Marjane Satrapi. If that is the case, Satrapi uses a chronological framework to tell her story, showing how the Islamic revolution has interfered in her life from childhood to adulthood, as well as showing how her family has been affected over time. This type of structure is efficient for communicating with an audience interested in history and impacting revolutions on life and ordinary people. Regarding the style, we can see that Satrapi used a simpler style, without striking details, showing that the story was more adult and dealt with strong and not childish themes.

"Persepolis" is an autobiographical grafic novel, where the author shows the development of her life within the Islamic revolution in Iran.
