____ [38]

Answer:

Believe in yourself instead of conforming to the values of others.

Explanation:

Philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson in his essay "Self Reliance" argue about the effect of polite society on an individual's personal growth. Only self sufficiency is capable of providing freedom to an individual in discovering their true self and worth, bringing forth true independence on the individual.

He emphasized on the importance of an individual to follow their own voices rather than trying to conform to the dictates and values set by the society. He posits the issue of self reliance in oneself and the importance of the imaginary thinking capacity of an individual. He also argues that the most important realization for an individual is trusting himself. He promotes self reliance as an ideal virtue for everyone. "Believe in yourself instead of conforming to the values of others" best sums up the passage provided in the question.

He wanted nothing less of Daisy than that she should go to Tom and say: "I never loved you." After she had obliterated four year

solmaris [256]

Answer:

This passage is from chapter 6 of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby", where Nick believes Jay Gatsby's dream of getting Daisy back after all the years is ending.

Explanation:

In Chapter 6 of "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Nick Carraway narrates how Jay Gatsby had wanted to get back with his former lover Daisy. But Daisy had already married Tom Buchanan, who Jay despises.

Tom and Daisy had come to Gatsby's house to party and Tom had decided to follow Daisy just to keep an eye on Gatsby. After the party got over and everyone has left, Gatsby exclaimed to Nick that Daisy is different, that "she doesn't understand". When asked further, Nick realizes that Jay wanted Daisy to leave her husband and come to him. He wanted her to "obliterate the four years" she's married to Tom, and "go back to Louisville and be married from her house—just as if it were five years ago". For Gatsby's part, it sounded a bit greedy, expecting her to act how he wanted things to be.

Madly in love with her, he wanted to get back with her on his terms, not thinking of what the others will feel. This, Nick feels, is the blatant end of Gatsby's dream which was to get Daisy back. This is his version of truth, Daisy telling Tom "I never loved you" and go to Jay, while the truth was that it was just a dream, wishful thinking. Unable to see past his own fantasies and wants, he believes and want/ expect Daisy to return to him.
