What is fitzgerald's real purpose in the great gatsby?

English

natita [175]3 years ago
4 0
Simply put, the American Dream is the widespread notion that any American citizen can achieve happiness and fulfillment by simply working as hard as possible. Fitzgerald deconstructs this idea by showing that, though Gatsby works hard and acquires a vast store of riches, he does not ever achieve true happiness or fulfillment. For Gatsby, true happiness involves earning the lasting love of Daisy. However, though Daisy loves him in her own way, she is not able to love him as fully as he would prefer, and in the end Daisy abandons Gatsby. Thus, no matter how hard Gatsby works to gain material wealth, he ultimately dies alone, and so much of the novel's major purpose is to ultimately critique the mythology of the American Dream.

20 Points. I am currently writing a novel, and I need to have your honest opinion of the beginning. Not, this is a backstory of
Simora [160]

Answer:

This is really good!!

Explanation:

I really enjoyed your writing and I like how you have set this story up!! The story is extremely intriguing and I almost didn't want to stop reading. I love your descriptive language and it makes the story feel alive. The scenarios feel real and its easy to put yourself in the place of Winter (who is an interesting character) and feel sorry for her and her situation. The one thing I think that could help this even more is maybe some even more descriptive words when describing her running away from Cain (she heard every leaf crunch under her feet and cringed at the thought of him hearing her, she felt the cold breeze and stiff air more than ever alone in that tree and she sat in the short amount of safety that was given to her in that moment, she heard Cains manic laugh echo through the forest, ect.). I feel as though this could make that scene even more better than it already is!! :)

I love this idea and your creativity! Keep writing, this will be amazing!!

Read the excerpt from Act I, scene i of Romeo and Juliet. Which thou wilt propagate to have it press'd With more of thine: this
levacccp [35]

Answer:

The option which best paraphrases Romeo's lines is:

A. Your love and concern are making me feel even worse.

Explanation:

The most important part to better answer this question is the line: "Doth add more grief to too much of mine own."

According to it, Romeo already has grief, he is already sad. However, something is adding to that grief, which means something is making him feel even worse. That is seen right before "this love that thou has shown." Thus, he is accusing someone's love of making him feel worse. For that reason, the best option is letter A.

"Romeo and Juliet" is a famous tragic play by William Shakespeare. The main characters fall in love in spite of the enmity between their families, but end up tragically dead.
