Read the excerpt from Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby. Their house was even more elaborate than I expected, a cheerful red-and-whi

te Georgian Colonial mansion, overlooking the bay. The lawn started at the beach and ran toward the front door for a quarter of a mile, jumping over sun-dials and brick walks and burning gardens—finally when it reached the house drifting up the side in bright vines as though from the momentum of its run. The front was broken by a line of French windows, glowing now with reflected gold and wide open to the warm windy afternoon, and Tom Buchanan in riding clothes was standing with his legs apart on the front porch. Based on this description of the Buchanans’ house, what inference can be made about many East Egg residents?

What can be inferred based on this description is that many East Egg residents hide their unattractive qualities beneath beautiful, light, and dreamy appearances.
As is the case of Daisy and Tom - they live in a beautiful manor which seems perfect on the outside, just like Daisy and Tom do. However, if you take a peak inside, you will see their true selves - they are unhappily married, Tom is cheating on her with Myrtle, and Daisy is cheating on him with Gatsby.

Clean forgot I told him to jump in.”, realizing how much power he had over Lennie and resolve to never tease him over his trust.

What is the speaker describing in these lines from the nymphs reply to the shepherd time drives the flocks from field to Cole wh
svetlana [45]
In response to the poem written by the shepherd to his love, the nymph is saying that his lovely idea of what life will be like together will quickly turn ugly.

The shepherd has promised his love all the beauty of nature...the waterfalls and flowers and glades and warmth of the sun, but the nymph reminds him that these things are fleeting and seasonal. Quickly the warmth of summer will be over, there will be no sheep in the fields and the meandering streams of summer will turn to cold raging rivers of winter and spring. Their love would be the same because it is based on his imagination and not reality.

What does the representation of the forest indicate according to lines 163-175? In wife’s tales
Bas_tet [7]

163-The wife asks if it is customary in King Arthur's household for a husband to be so standoffish towards his wife.

165-She reminds the knight that she is his love and wife, and the one who saved his life.

170-She says that she has never done wrong by the knight. Why, then, is he treating her this way on their wedding night?

172-The hag says her husband is acting like a crazy man. What is her guilt? She demands that her husband tell her what she has done wrong, promising to correct it if she is able.

174-The knight replies that the hag will never be able to fix the problem, which is that his wife is so ugly, old, and low-born that it's no surprise he tosses and turns.

175-He wishes God would break his heart within his breast.
