Answer and Explanation:
The text we are analyzing here is part of Chapter 8 of "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
The main character, Gatsby, has gone through a lot in his pursuit of Daisy, the love of his life. When Gatsby left for the war, Daisy married Tom Buchanan, an unfaithful millionaire. Now, Gatsby is trying to get her back. He gets involved with criminal businesses to become a millionaire as well and moves to a mansion right across the bay from Daisy's. Gatsby throws grand parties with the hope that Daisy will one day walk through his doors. They eventually become lovers, but a tragedy is about to end it all for them.
"Gatsby shouldered the mattress and started for the pool. Once he stopped and shifted it a little, and the chauffeur asked him if he needed help, but he shook his head and in a moment disappeared among the yellowing trees."
In the text above, Gatsby is about to be killed by George Wilson. There are a couple of symbols in the text that foreshadow Gatsby's death, such as his brief hesitation and the yellowing trees - green would mean life, but yellow is a reminder that winter is on its way, and that the trees will soon look lifeless. It is also interesting to notice that he is finally about to take a swim in his pool, something he hasn't done all summer. It is ironic that, when Gatsby finally takes some time to enjoy his life, it will suddenly be taken from him.
People are using the internet more than ever. New apps are coming out everyday and people are using them. Instagram is a great app do market/promote on because so many people are using it. You could post an ad on a streetlight and the exact same add on Instagram and the sales between the two would be very different. Social media and internet is a commonly used thing. With so many people on it, someone will see what you're marketing and want it. <span />
One time I was talking to a friend, whom I had been very bitter towards because she had stopped talking to me.
It was just the fact that she- my absolute best friend in the whole world; she became a stranger. A distant somebody. A close nobody? I don't know either.
Anyways. I was listening to her gibber incessantly about her life and realized how shallow and selfish she was- never talking about anything but herself and disregarding all other opinions.
I think I became more uncomfortable over time. I was taught to be kind and friends with all,
to be kind,
that every individual was the way they are because of experiences,
Thinking I would feel guilty and selfish, for pushing someone aside like that, I tried to keep her close to me. Even though she did the same to me. Who was I to judge someone as close-minded as her, if I couldn't consider her as a friend still?
But I didn't want to be friends anymore. I don't know if we ever were. So we then continued talking stupid nothings and I left. The conversation itself wasn't as important as the lack of it.
I realized the golden rule I held against other people should be held for me too. I let her go for my self care, for my own kindness.
I feel better and I am unashamed.
The conjunction used is coordinating conjunctions, because it uses "or" to combine the sentences.
