DENIUS [597]3 years ago
5 0
Chapter 2 of the Great Gatsby opens with a literal description of the city dump, referred to as the "Valley of Ashes." The Dump is a symbolic representation of the american dream now left to decay on edge of the city fueled by materialism and greed. This related with the general theme of the story about self-centeredness and greed filling the world with trash.

What are three aspects of society today that you would like to reform, improve or change? Why?
irga5000 [103]
1. Unrealistic beauty standards. It’s a plague to our society and needs to be changed. It causes a lot of people to develop serious mental heath issues, identity issues and even body dysmorphia just trying to emulate the beauty standards that are simply unattainable and not real.

2. Poverty. I think it’s unfair that not everyone can have access to healthcare, which in my opinion should not be paid for, food, shelter and warmth. Which are the basic things needed to live. Not saying we should all be paid the same salary and live in the same houses, even if we’re a hardworking doctor. I just think everyone should be able to be fed, have somewhere to live and clothes on their back and an education so that they have the chance to get a job and create a career for themselves.

3. There’s so many things I’d want to change, limiting it to 3 is so hard lol but my third one would probably be equality between people whether that be race, religion, gender, whatever a person identifies as, who they love, what they want to be in life or however a person chooses to dress, whatever. This is due to the fact that everyone is different. There’s nothing we can do to change that, people are going to be different, they’re going to want to do things differently, they’re going to be born differently etc. Others shouldn’t treat someone else differently or bad because of the colour of someone’s skin, or because of the fact that they’re a woman, for example. A lot of people are prejudice to others just because of the things that make someone who they are, and I think it’s wrong and I’d love for it to change.

Other things I’d like to improve or change: environmental pollution,
global warming,world hunger,animal abuse, war, the education system and the prison system.

Read the excerpt from "In Response to Executive Order 9066. " I’ve packed my galoshes and three packets of tomato seeds. Denis
shepuryov [24]

The statements that best describe both excerpts are: Okita uses the tomato, a food native to the Americas, to highlight the speaker's American identity, while Cisneros uses the English language to give her characters an American identity.

In these two excerpts, we find that the native tomatoes established the American identity.

This is found in the fact that the speaker's father said that the soil in the new place they were going to will not support the growth of the love apples.

In the second excerpt, the speaker explicitly mentions that he speaks English. This identifies him.

So, option A shows how the two excerpts reveal the identities of the characters.
