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.

Which two topics are best for classification writing?
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:Locate the top three Mexican restaurants in Maine.  Identify the four most nutritious types of food.

Explanation:Classification is sorting things into groups or categories. It can be also be considered as a simple division. In this case, the two chosen topics are best for classification writing because they allow to develop a general subject (Mexican restaurants, and Nutritious food) and then divide those subjects into smaller categories like, the Mexican restaurants in Main, then the best and the worst Mexican restaurants in Maine or the most nutritious types of food, in this way, we can later select the number of elements required in each case (3 restaurants, 4 types of food)
