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

English
1 answer:
Aliun [14]3 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.

aleksklad [387]

Read the excerpt from A History of the World in 100 Objects.

In 2001 the UK National Census recorded that more than 1 in 20 Londoners were of black African descent, a figure that has continued to rise in the years since. Modern British life and culture now have a strong African component. This development is merely the latest chapter in the history of relations between Africa and western Europe, and in that long and turbulent history the Benin Bronzes, as they used to be known, hold a unique place.

How does the author engage the reader

Answer:

by presenting a series of interesting facts that make the reader curious about the significance of the Benin Bronzes

Explanation:

According to the given excerpt from A History of the World in 100 Objects, the author narrates how the UK National Census in 2001 made the discovery that 1 out of 20 Londoners were of black African descent and that figure has continued to rise since then.

The author engages the reader by mentioning the Benin Bronze and how there is a supposed relationship between Africa and Western Europe which makes the reader wonder about the significance of the Benin Bronze.
