Answer:
It distorts the traditional concept of a love song.
It emphasizes the search for meaning in a seemingly meaningless world.
Explanation:
"The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" is an extremely sentimental and striking poem, besides being melancholy and sad, causing great reflections in the reader, about what it is to be loved, what it is to have hope and what it is to feel empty and alone.
The poem features a speaker who longs to establish a romantic affair with someone, but has all his attempts unsuccessful. This speaker does not want to abandon this desire, but his hopes are completely empty, making him feel melancholy and try desperately to seek some connection, some meaning in the world that is as empty as he is. This destabilizes the concept of a love song as something happy and comfortable, as the poem shows a visceral and uncomfortable version of a love song in the life of someone hopeless about love, but very much wants to feel it.
The part of Ernest Hemingway's short story "The End of Something" that is the best example of rejection of traditional beliefs is C. when Nick says love is not fun.
The traditional belief would suggest otherwise - however, by denying the thrill of love, Nick is getting rid of this innate traditional belief. The other examples do not really show this type of rejection, they represent other things that can be found in the story.
Answer and Explanation:
It is Jay Gatsby himself who calls Nick "Old Sport" in the novel "The Great Gatsby", by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Gatsby had remained as this mysterious figure throughout the story until he finally introduces himself to Nick during a party at Gatsby's mansion.
<u>The term "old sport" was a way gentlemen had to address one another at the beginning of the 20th century. By using it, Gatsby has readers infer that he truly wants to be friends with Nick. He treats Nick as his equal, as his friend, even though they had never met before. We can infer Gatsby has an affectionate, easy-going manner.</u>
The correct answer is Vera's tendency for making up outlandish stories.
From the story<em> "The Open Window"</em> by H.H Munro (Saki), it is evident that Vera tells Framton a story about her aunt, but to the reader, the means of this is nothing more than to inform their visitor about the family's past - as if to warn Framton on his involvement with his visit -. It is only when a terrified Framton bolts away from the house and the rest of the family members are presented safe and sound, that the reader realises Vera's story was only a playful trick, creating surprise - this information however, is not explicitly explained to the reader.
As for the rest of the options, unlike the correct answer, they are all information explicitly presented in the story:
- The presumed Mrs. Stapleton's insanity at the beggining of Vera's tale.
- Framton explains his illness after Mrs. Stapleton arrives to the scene apologizing.
- Framton's fear of dogs is explained by Mr. Stapleton at the last paragraph, just after his arrival.
