explain the difference between what gatsby appears to be on the outside and what he really is on the inside

English

Answer and Explanation:

Jay Gatsby is the main character of the novel "The Great Gatsby", by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald. When the narrator, Nick, first hears of him, Gatsby is but a name, faceless, connected to grand parties and wealth.

On the outside, Gatsby has an almost flawless appearance. He dresses finely and modernly. He lives in a castle, surrounded by servants. He drives a fancy car, and knows influential people. He always, as Daisy describes him, "looks cool". He says he is an Oxford man, the inheritor of a big fortune, a world traveler. He is good-looking, well-spoken - a "true" gentleman. Gatsby gives the impression of being secure, of knowing his place in the world. He seems to have life figured out.

But there is a reason why Gatsby is only "almost" flawless. On the inside, he is none of the things described above. Even though he is a good man with grand dreams, he is insecure. Born in extreme poverty, Gatsby thinks wealth will solve all his self-esteem issues. He is afraid people will see through the façade he has built, see the true Gatsby: an uneducated man whose fortune comes from selling illegal alcohol. On the inside, Gatsby is far from being a gentleman or from being cool. He is scared, tense, eager, almost desperate. He wants to be seen, but he also fears it tremendously.

Blues man on the move-which word best describes the tone of the stanzas
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

The word that best describes the tone of the stanzas from Bluesman on the move is "Resolute"

Explanation:

Read the following excerpt:

I might look old, but like I said, I'm new here. And if I'm ever going to get where I'm moving, I have to keep moving.

The phrase "I have to keep moving" shows the <em>determination of an action</em> which is 'to keep moving'.

Resolute definition: <em>determined in character, action, or ideas.</em>

Which epic characteristic is represented by the opening lines of the Iliad by Homer?
telo118 [61]

An epic simile is basically a regular simile, but it takes place over the course of several lines in poetry. There is no evidence in the excerpt provided that the correct answer could be a simile, so we’ll rule that option out.


The phrase starting in medias generally means that it’s a somewhat introduction. It can often introduce the story in the beginning, or be a great start if you want to start your story with a flashback. I’d say this is a good answer for the question, but just in case there’s a better one let’s go over the other options as well.


To invoke the muse would be to get inspiration for whatever it is you’re going to start doing. For example, let’s say you’re writing a story, and you have no ‘muse.’ Here you’d ‘pray to the muse gods’ to give you muse, or in another word, inspiration. This is clearly not the answer because the passage is not invoking any muse. They clearly already know which direction they’re taking with the story.


And finally, the use of epithets would be to specifically describing something and/ or someone. Sure, this passage caries descriptive detail, but that’s not its primary focus.


In conclusion, the correct answer to this question is b ) starting in medias res .
