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.

Answer: The right answer is the A) With their hard work, these individuals had invested in their country and they deserved to be suitably rewarded.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that this song, which E.Y. "Yip" Harburg co-authored in 1932, became very representative of the Great Depression. “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?” was a legitimate question because it was asked by hardworking and decent individuals who had contributed to the progress of the country, and all of the sudden found themselves unemployed and unable to provide for themselves and for their families.

Answer:

Hi Allison,

I haven’t been able to communicate with you for a while now, but I thought that I'd share something with you.

I’ve really been liking my online classes and it’s really efficient for me. I like it because I can do everything from home without having to go to presencial school. However, once C o vi d ends I’ll be happy to finally be able to spend time with you again in school.

We have so much catching up to do! Please write back to me soon and tell me your experience with online classes.

Kind regards,

Your name

Explanation:

I hope this is good enough, I just tried to be creative, but I hope you like it :)
