Who is Trimalchio? in chapter 7 of the great Gatsby​

English
1 answer:
lakkis [162]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: Trimalchio is a character that appears in <em>Satyricon</em> by Petronius (first century AD), and is also mentioned in <em>the Great Gatsby</em> (the beginning of <em>Chapter 7</em>).

Explanation:

Trimalchio and Gatsby have a lot in common. They were both poor (Trimalchio being a freed slave), and as they manage to acquire certain wealth, they both falsely pretend that they actually belong to the rich world. Trimalchio does so by dressing up, while Gatsby tries to impress people around him by throwing parties. In <em>Chapter 7</em>, the writer indicates that "Gatsby's career as Trimalchio was over", which means that Gatsby is no longer throwing parties and trying to prove his worth to those around him.

"It's funny how ideas are, in a lot of ways they're just like seeds. Both of them start real small and then ... Woop, zoop, sloo
Novay_Z [31]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Explain why Bud says that "It's funny how ideas are, in a lot of ways they're just like seeds. Both of them start real small and then ... Woop, zoop, sloop ... Before you can say Jack Robinson they've gone and grown a lot bigger than you ever thought they could"

Answer:

Bud says this to show how a small and insignificant idea became something big inside him, becoming his biggest goal.

Explanation:

Bud explains that the idea of looking for and finding his father was insignificant, small in his subconscious and that he could go unnoticed by other more important and impacting ideas, however, over time, that idea grew and grew until he became the biggest goal of his life. To better explain it to the reader, he makes reference to how a seed so small can become such a large and imposing tree. The seed symbolizes the idea and the tree symbolizes the goal.
