Select the correct text in the passage.

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

1. "Though I have seen my head (grown slightly bald) brought in upon a platter,

I am no prophet—and here’s no great matter;"

2. "To say: “I am Lazarus, come from the dead,"

Explanation:

T.S. Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" is a poem that deals with the themes of alienation, isolation amidst the tortured psyche of the modern man and his 'overconfidence' life. This modernism poem is from the speaker, Alfred Prufrock's perspective, delving into his love life and his need or desire to consummate his relationship with the lover.

An allusion is one literary device that writers use to provide details in their work. It makes reference to other pieces or works in this description. And two instances of biblical allusion are found in the lines "I am no prophet" and "To say: To say: “I am Lazarus, come from the dead". The first "prophet" allusion is about John the Baptist whose head was cut off and brought on a platter on the request of Herodias's daughter to Herod (Matthew 14, Mark 6). And the second allusion is to Lazarus, whom Jesus raised from the grave/ dead (John 11).

The Great Gatsby chapter 4 questions (pls help)

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

1) The next day, Nick phones Daisy and extends his invitation with the stipulation "Don't bring Tom." She accepts his invitation, agreeing on a day. The agreed upon day arrives and Gatsby, wanting everything to be perfect, sends a man to cut Nick's grass and, later, has flowers delivered.

2)In Chapter IV when Nick and Gatsby ride together into New York, Gatsby tells Nick about his past, in Gatsby's words "something about my life." He then tells Nick of his wealthy Midwestern family background and his Oxford education--a family tradition, he said.

3) When Nick asks which Midwestern city he is from, Gatsby replies, “San Francisco.” Gatsby then lists a long and preposterously detailed set of accomplishments: he claims to have been educated at Oxford, to have collected jewels in the capitals of Europe, to have hunted big game, and to have been awarded medals in World ...

4) Meyer Wolfsheim is Jay Gatsby's friend and a prominent figure in organized crime. Wolfsheim helped Gatsby to make his fortune bootlegging illegal liquor. He is responsible for fixing the 1919 World Series.

5) In the city, Gatsby takes Nick to lunch and introduces him to Meyer Wolfshiem, who, he claims, was responsible for fixing the 1919 World Series.

6) We are told that Gatsby came up from essentially nothing, and that the first time he met Daisy Buchanan, he was “a penniless young man.” His fortune, we are told, was the result of a bootlegging business – he “bought up a lot of side-street drug-stores here and in Chicago” and sold illegal alcohol over the counter.

Hope it helps:)
