What is the theme of the great gatsby?

English

Aneli [31]3 years ago

Like any novel,  there are many themes in the Great Gatsby. 
One of the most prominent themes in the novel, as I saw it, was the theme of dreams. We can see this theme through the green light at the end of Daisy's dock and how Gatsby dreams to be with her. We can see it through how George Wilson dreams of escaping his impoverished lifestyle and clings to Tom's car like its his lifeline. There is also a question that is posed in the novel - is it worth it to achieve your dreams? Once Gatsby had Daisy, the glitz and glamour of his dreams faded away. Perhaps she was more enticing when she was just out of his reach. Within this, there is also the theme of the American Dream, the white picket fence. Fitzgerald comments on how the American Dream becomes like a mess of material excess. He comments on the greed and unnecessary lavishness of the time with the juxtaposition of Gatsby's beautiful mansion and the valley of ashes. 

There are plenty more themes within the novel, but these were the ones that stood out to me. You could also explore the hypocrisy of our narrator, Nick, or how cold the upper class appear to be. Hope this helps.

Read the excerpt from Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll.
Karolina [17]

Answer:

I believe the answer is 3. They show that Alice wants to please the Red Queen.

Explanation:

The answer can not be 2, because Alice is the one attempting to bring it back I believe, but the Red Queen is the one declining and wanting it away. It can not be 4, because nowhere in the paragraphs read did she mention leaving, it was only about the pudding mainly. The answers you would mainly be stuck with I believe is 1 and 3, Alice is not forcing anything onto herself nor' the Red Queen though I believe, so I would not say she wants to be in control of her life. So it mainly leads down to option/choice 3. Alice wants to please the Red Queen with the pudding. (?)

Write a FOUR paragraph story about how your life
Lorico [155]

4 Paragraphs:

On one hand, technology may have enriched and enlightened our minds, but on the other hand, in pursuit of its crazy comforts, it has forced us to become over-reliant on it, so much so that we have literally become slaves of our own gadgets and technology. The utterly pointless and absolute obsession that technology has in our lives has left us weak and vulnerable, to be exact. In the age that we all are living, technology and knowledge are advancing at an increasingly speedy and explosive rate. However, it would be an utterly not bright of a decision if we think of limiting our exposure to technology or absolutely abandoning it because it will be the difference that we make towards a better tomorrow.

For instance, if there was no technological innovation in the world, and you were in need of more essays in the future, you couldn’t just type in write my essay for me and search it up in any search engine, and be presented with a list of online websites that can do the job for you at a minimal fee. But with the current technological advancements that we have in place, anything and everything is possible. Thus of the quest for better personal satisfaction, some reliance on innovation is unavoidable in light of the fact that we might all want to have clean running water, solid eating routine, and assurance from horrendous illnesses, arrangement of energy and distinctive electronic apparatuses for our organizations and also other material solaces and conveniences in our lives.

Innovation particularly notwithstanding quickly expanding populace helps us in using the Earth’s assets all the more productively. It is because of innovation that human race is surviving the exceptional populace development and without it, humankind would have vanished long prior in a worldwide craving Armageddon. In any case, then again there are negative impacts of innovation waiting in our lives. By dismissing essential human and mammalian impulses like mingling, family life, and physical effort, we have turned out to be manufactured and empty.

Despite the fact that we are receiving rewards, we are losing the little of the valuable mankind left in our lives due to over-liberality. Taking everything into account, innovation has influenced our lives profoundly. We just can’t envision living without it. It has expanded our life expectancy and nature of living. Where it has brought people closer in various ways, it has also contributed towards drifting people apart from each other. Without it, our lives would have been less difficult, harder, poorer, secluded, unoriginal, disengaged, and perilous.
