It is called Alliteration. Alliteration is a literary device where words which are adjacent to each other share the same consonant sound at the beginning. "<span>Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers" is an example of an alliteration. This literary device is often seen in poems. It is very evident in the literary piece "Beowulf"</span>

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

to remember

To make up my history

Explanation:

The word "striking" means something remarkable, memorable and that had a strong impact in a given situation. The narrator of the text uses this word to refer to remarkable, impacting, minutable and significant moments that happened in his life, to the point of "making my story" as he says. The sentence "make my story" is what reinforces the meaning of "striking" within this context.

Although Nick Carraway has his reservations about Gatsby, it is clear he thinks of him fondly; after all, Fitzgerald titles the
Fofino [41]

Answer and Explanation:

Gatsby was a corrupted man who somehow managed to remain naive. We may very well say he was a great man, but not in the sense usually associated with that word. He was not great for being famous and rich. He was not great for being generous and altruistic. What was great about him was his personality, as well as his perspective concerning the world. Gatsby was a great dreamer. His ambition provided him with this beautiful ability to dream, to look up and reach for higher grounds, a better life, the best girl. He was a flawed man, that is for sure. His principles were inconsistent. To achieve what he so desired, he became a criminal without hesitation. Gatsby focused on the ends, not the means. That does tarnish the greatness of his spirit. Even worse, he assumes others might very well be as morally flexible as he is. Notice how he offers to help Nick at first, only to realize Nick does not sway that easily to the dark side:

<em>‘There’s another little thing,’ he said uncertainly, and hesitated.  </em>

<em>‘Would you rather put it off for a few days?’ I asked.  </em>

<em>‘Oh, it isn’t about that. At least——’ He fumbled with a series of beginnings. ‘Why, I thought—why, look here, old sport, you don’t make much money, do you?’  </em>

<em>‘Not very much.’  </em>

<em>This seemed to reassure him and he continued more confidently.  </em>

<em>‘I thought you didn’t, if you’ll pardon my—you see, I carry on a little business on the side, a sort of sideline, you understand. And I thought that if you don’t make very much—You’re selling bonds, aren’t you, old sport?’  </em>

<em>‘Trying to.’  </em>

<em>‘Well, this would interest you. It wouldn’t take up much of your time and you might pick up a nice bit of money.  It happens to be a rather confidential sort of thing.’ </em>
