English

Anna [14]3 years ago
6 0



Tom Buchanan could be seen as a representative of the American Dream because his life is, for many, the ultimate goal.  The American Dream is typically thought of as the possibility that, in America, anyone can start with nothing and, through their own hard hard work and perseverance, attain wealth and prosperity.  Tom Buchanan is the pinnacle of wealth and prosperity; he has a lavish and elegant estate in East Egg, a beautiful and fashionable wife, and a team of polo ponies.  Further, when people dream big—when they imagine what they would like to have and what they would like to be in their version of the American Dream—it could very likely be the success of someone like Tom that they imagine.  Many people want all the things Tom has. People hope that achieving the American Dream will result in achieving Tom's life.

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

C. The first significant project for Pei was the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado. From there, he designed the East Building of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.

D. He designed the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio, and the somber Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. In addition, he traveled to Qatar to design the Museum of Islamic Art and worked in Japan for the Miho Museum and China for the Suzhou Museum

Explanation:

All of the following options tell us about I.M. Pei's achievements. An important part of the original statement, though, is <em>diverse </em><em>in his talents. </em>It means that Pei has created many different buildings. Statements C and D are the best proof of that. He has designed research centers, art galleries, halls of fame, museums. Statement A simply tells us about his importance, B about his personal life, and E about his awards.

Thus, the correct options are C and D.

trasher [3.6K]
That is because there is no specific character development or purpose or use of the character. His purpose and use is to be the evil that would get beaten by the main character, in this case Beowulf.
