Answer:

Nick's reflections at the end of Chapter Nine of The Great Gatsbybring the motif of geography to a conclusion as Nick philosophizes that the story of Gatsby is conclusively a story of the West. As he sprawls upon the beach, Nick reflects upon the old Dutch sailors who came to the "fresh, green breast of the new world...for a transitory enchanted moment" in which they, like Gatsby--who beheld Daisy's green light--believed in a dream that became Nick's reflections at the end of Chapter Nine of The Great Gatsby bring the motif of geography to a conclusion as Nick philosophizes that the story of Gatsby is conclusively a story of the West. As he sprawls upon the beach, Nick reflects upon the old Dutch sailors who came to the "fresh, green breast of the new world...for a transitory enchanted moment" in which they, like Gatsby--who beheld Daisy's green light--believed in a dream that became that same American dream for Gatsby.

However, Nick concludes, unbeknowst to Gatsby, his dream was already behind him.  For, he had endeavored to recapture the past--the "West"--and had traded his youthful goals--written in a book entitled Hopalong Cassidy (the name of a cowboy hero of the West) in which he had set the admirable goals of achieving the cardinal virtues--for the mundane, criminal, and hedonistic lifestyle exemplified by the East Egg residents.  Contemplating the significance of the past to the dreams of the future as symbolized by the green light, Nick reflects,

   Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us.  It eluded us then, but that's no matter--tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther...And one fine morning---

So, after having made his satiric comment in a previous chapter that Gatsby has been the best that America can produce, Nick concludes on a rather melancholy note, observing that in the pursuit of the American dream, people are unable to transcend or to recreate the past, but, instead, they inevitably return to the past. Thus, Gatsby's and others' histories are stories of the West. This conclusion underscores the theme of the significance of the past to dreams of the future (the green light and the "green breast of the new world" that the Dutch perceived).

From my previous ans to ur Q last week:

Daisy is the ultimate status symbol; at least for Gatsby she is. In a way, she IS the American Dream. W<span>hen Daisy and Gatsby reunite and begin an affair, it seems like Gatsby could in fact achieve his goal.

But </span>Daisy refuses to leave Tom and Gatsby is killed by George. With the “strivers” all dead, the old money crowd is safe again. <span>Daisy was born with money and does not need to strive for great wealth or other far-off things from the American Dream.

</span>Nick describes Daisy as “High in a white palace the king’s daughter, the golden girl,” literally considering Daisy as a prize. He also pessimistically says, “you can’t repeat the past”, implying there is but a small window for certain dreams.  The dreams cannot be achieved once the window is closed.

Nick is not happy with his family’s respectable fortune and his girlfriend out west. At the end, <span>Nick sadly meditates on the lost promise of the American Dream
</span>

The part on Nick was a little thin - as Nick explains in the book, the American dream was originally about discovery, individualism, and the pursuit of happiness. It has been corrupted by <span>easy money and relaxed social values. Nick</span><span> realized after Gatsby's death: the dream was also about learning from the past.

"On Nick’s last night in the East, he walks over to Gatsby’s mansion. Nick looks out along the beach and wonders what this land was like long ago-when it was a new and unspoiled world. Nick sees the green light. The green light represents the dream. The pure dream that Gatsby had. The purity of the American Dream is something that is in our past. The past of our nation, and in the innocence of our youth.
</span>
Nick realizes that what Gatsby had was the sense of unlimited promise. He possessed The American Dream. An older and wiser Nick returns to the Midwest."

Which sentences contain correctly punctuated nonrestrictive modifiers?
Kay [80]

A nonrestrictive modifier adds information that is not essential for the reader to understand the sentence. In case the nonrestrictive modifier is eliminated, the meaning would remain the same. Only nonrestrictive modifiers are separated by commas. Taking this into account, the sentences that contain correctly punctuated nonrestrictive modifiers are:

  • My oldest sister, Maria, is a pilot - If we remove <em>Maria</em>, we can still identify which sister we are talking about.
  • My two best friends, Tory and Monica, met me at the movies - If we remove <em>Tory and Monica</em>, we can still identify which two people we are referring to.
  • Bulldogs, which I love, are the cutest! - If we remove <em>which I love</em>, we can still identify which dogs we are talking about.
