Later in the story, Waverly's brother receives a chess set from the Chinese Santa, which his mother did not approve of having the chess set. As Waverly watched her brothers play the game, she thought of how fun it would be to play as well. She started to play and got better and better. She got to the point where she was a professional chess player. One day, Waverly and her mother were walking through some stores, when her mother started to talk about all of Waverly's accomplishments. This made Waverly so embarrassed that she ran away.

6. What events are part of the falling action?

The falling action in this story would be when Waverly comes into her house and is sent to her room with no dinner. She envisions a chessboard with her unbeatable opponent, her mother.

lord [1]

The correct answer is "a Man". Kipling ends his poem with the line "And—which is more—you'll be a Man, my son!" This indicates that Kipling is addressing his poem to youths who are not yet adults (or even immature adults). The speaker is a father-figure that intends to counsel his son about becoming an adult. The first stanza is about knowing oneself. The second is about knowing that we not always get what we want. The thirs is about being brave. The third is about knowing one's place in the world.

This is all I have. I need help on how Nick feels. I’m confused on that part.
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

The stopped in the Valley of Ashes on their way to the city to meet Tom's girl, his mistress Myrtle Wilson.

Nick felt he had been ambushed or forced to meet her even though he had expressed no desire to be acquainted with her.

Explanation:

F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" revolves around the story of Jay Gatsby and his desire to reunite with his former girl friend Daisy Buchanan. The story deals with themes of wealth, social life, a lost American Dream, love, life, etc.

The narrator Nick Carraway mentioned how he met Tom Buchanan's mistress in Chapter 2. Tom has been married to Daisy for several years now and his mistress Myrtle is also married to George Wilson. When Tom took Nick to meet Myrtle, it was more of a forced invitation rather than a request. Nick recalls how Tom was <em>"taking hold of [his] elbow literally forced [him] from the car."</em> Nick seems angry about the whole thing, <em>"The supercilious assumption was that on Sunday afternoon I had nothing better to do."</em>

So, Tom and Nick stopped to meet Myrtle Wilson, Tom's mistress. Nick feels that it was more of a forced meet rather than a request to make him acquainted with her.
