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.

How do the tensions among the characters of the play also reflect the themes of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar?
VikaD [51]
The Tragedy of Julius Caesar deals with the themes of fate, betrayal, and honor, among others. The chief conflict of the play centers on the conspirators' hatred of Julius Caesar's increasing power, which could lead to his becoming king and to the dissolution of the Republic. This tension is about power, one of the play's themes. Also, the men who will assassinate Caesar are his friends, and the play explores the limits of that bond as it is tested by ambition and power.

Read the excerpt from "Bluesman on the Move."
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

Loneliness

Explanation:

In the given excerpt from "Bluesman on the Move," the author's word-choice for using the word like 'ghosts' primarily aims to develop a feeling of 'isolation and loneliness.' It assists the author in reinforcing the idea that the place is so deserted that 'even the notes of the guitar bounce back similar to ghosts.' This sets the mood for the reader and further emphasize the abandonment of the place where the old man didn't even have someone to tell his tales.
