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.

In this excerpt from "The Nun's Priest's Tale" in Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, how is Pertelote, a hen, compared to Hasdrubal
eduard

The answer is:

Pertelote's screams are likened to the laments of Hasdrubal's wife.

In the excerpt from "The Nun's Priest's Tale" in Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales," Lady Pertelote the hen cries so loud that she is compared to Hasdrubal's wife's weeping. The reason is, her husband was killed by the Romans, the city was burned and she committed suicide. As a consequence, since the narrator describes the hen's grieving as so loud that it attacks the air, it is assumed Pertelote grieved and groaned desperately.

How might literary critisism/theory help to further develop our study of literature
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Literary Criticism provides lenses to conduct a close and in-depth reading of the text which would expand the thoughts and imagination of the readers. Literary criticism proposes different dimensions to the same text and unlocks the door for interpretations. It also influences the readers to break away from the conventional beliefs and perceptions regarding a particular text. It helps to read, understand and interpret literature in a better way and enhance the evaluative and critical skills. It is also called "practical criticism" and thus, provides an ability to interrogate which is considered as established facts and explore and express the shifts in sensibility to analyze literature. It is also beneficial to uncover the follies hidden behind certain fabricated ideas.

What was Frederick Douglas viewpoint in "what to slave is the fourth of July?"
shusha [124]
HE meant if freedom is for America then why isnt a black man? A African American is in apart of America than why isnt he free like the rest?
he originally gave the speech to the Ladies' Anti-Slavery Society in Rochester, New York

here is a summary of the speech:
<span>While still a young slave in Maryland, Frederick Douglass taught himself to read, whereupon he discovered that he was as capable of thinking and reasoning as any free man, and therefore ought to be free. Upon making good his escape to New York, Douglass earned wide renown as an outspoken and eloquent critic of the institution of slavery. In this speech before a sizeable audience of New York abolitionists, Douglass reminds them that the Fourth of July, though a day of celebration for white Americans, was still a day of mourning for slaves and former slaves like himself, because they were reminded of the unfulfilled promise of equal liberty for all in the Declaration of Independence. </span>


here is the full speech : sorry i have to leave it in the comments since it wont let me here
