Answer:

We could say that Gatsby created a picture of himself is an Oxford man.

One of the best evidences which determines Gatsby an Oxford man is a description from the book which refers to Jay Gatsby.

"About Gatsby! No, I haven't. I said I'd been making a small investigation of his past."

"And you found he was an Oxford man," said Jordan helpfully.

"An Oxford man!" He was incredulous. "Like hell he is! He wears a pink suit.

However, he isn't really an Oxford man. He tries to represent him like that in order to impress Daisy Buchanan and renew his relationship with her. With this status, he tries to include himself as a part of elite society, so that the members of the society could accept him as a rich intellectual. His attempts to be an Oxford man aren't convincing enough, so, despite all his efforts, we couldn't say he is a real example of an Oxford man.

How does Yoni’s motivation for speaking with Sergei compare with the goldfish’s motivation? What theme is revealed by Sergei’s i

xenn [34]

Yoni's motivation in talking to Sergei is to get good material for the documentary he is making. This compares to the goldfish motivation because the goldfish is motivated to fill someone's life with good things.

The theme revealed through the way Sergei acts is the theme that happiness is never eternal and there will always be times when it won't be there.

Although you did not present the text to which this question refers, we can see from the context of the question that you are referring to "What of this Goldfish, Would You Wish?"

By reading this short story, we can say that:

The story shows how a poor boy named Yoni has the brilliant idea of filming a documentary to sell to a large television network.
The documentary consists of filming people who will answer the question "What would you want if you had a magical fish that could grant wishes?"
While interviewing people, Yoni ends up arriving at Sergei's house, which does have a magical wish-granting goldfish.
Sergei is a foreigner and is in a moment where he considers himself happy.
This is because, in addition to having a magical fish, he is living the way he wanted.
However, he doesn't want to reveal that he has a magic fish to Yoni and Yoni's insistence on interviewing him causes his happiness to slowly dissipate.
