From my previous ans to ur Q last week:
Daisy is the ultimate status symbol; at least for Gatsby she is. In a way, she IS the American Dream. W<span>hen Daisy and Gatsby reunite and begin an affair, it seems like Gatsby could in fact achieve his goal.
But </span>Daisy refuses to leave Tom and Gatsby is killed by George. With the “strivers” all dead, the old money crowd is safe again. <span>Daisy was born with money and does not need to strive for great wealth or other far-off things from the American Dream.
</span>Nick describes Daisy as “High in a white palace the king’s daughter, the golden girl,” literally considering Daisy as a prize. He also pessimistically says, “you can’t repeat the past”, implying there is but a small window for certain dreams. The dreams cannot be achieved once the window is closed.
Nick is not happy with his family’s respectable fortune and his girlfriend out west. At the end, <span>Nick sadly meditates on the lost promise of the American Dream
</span>
The part on Nick was a little thin - as Nick explains in the book, the American dream was originally about discovery, individualism, and the pursuit of happiness. It has been corrupted by <span>easy money and relaxed social values. Nick</span><span> realized after Gatsby's death: the dream was also about learning from the past.
"On Nick’s last night in the East, he walks over to Gatsby’s mansion. Nick looks out along the beach and wonders what this land was like long ago-when it was a new and unspoiled world. Nick sees the green light. The green light represents the dream. The pure dream that Gatsby had. The purity of the American Dream is something that is in our past. The past of our nation, and in the innocence of our youth.
</span>
Nick realizes that what Gatsby had was the sense of unlimited promise. He possessed The American Dream. An older and wiser Nick returns to the Midwest."
Sonnet 19 is one of the more than a hundred sonnets published by William Shakespeare in 1609.
It is considered a typical Shakespearean or English sonnet because of:
-The use of three quatrains (a stanza or poem consisting of four lines) followed by a couple (two successive lines that rhyme and have the same metre). Here is an example of a rhyming couple from Sonnet 18
<em>So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
</em>
<em>So long lives this and this gives life to thee.</em>
-It follows the typical rhyme scheme: abab, cdcd, efef, gg
-The widespread use of iambic pentameter based on five pairs of metrically weak/strong syllabic positions. For example, "<em>But I forbid thee one more heinous crime"</em> (19.8).
In my opinion, the correct answer is <span>C. " I see you shining like a jewel of night".
</span>
Iambic pentameter is a rhythmic scheme that consists of five iambs - two-syllable feet that consist of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one (it sounds something like this: da DA da DA da DA da DA da DA). Therefore, this line is pronounced like this (the accentuated syllables are bolded, and slashes separate the iambs): I see / you shi / ning like / a jewel / of night.
The statement that is implied by the sentence from the story is "Poor people were expected to tolerate any ridicule made by the rich," as stated in option C.
<h3>What does the passage imply?</h3>
The passage from Mark Twain's "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note" is narrated by a poor man. As a matter of fact, he is so poor that, even though he feels mistreated, he does not believe he can do anything about it. After all, those who mistreated him are rich.
We can say, thus, that the passage implies that poor people were expected to tolerate any ridicule made by the rich. So much so that the narrator walks away feeling insulted, but does not do anything to confront those who insulted him.
With the information above in mind, we can choose option C as the correct answer.

I haven't read the Chapter but have watched the movie, so my answers might differ:-)
1) No, the narrator doesn't come as a selfish. He and Richard Parker (Tiger) were together and on the same boat. He might have thrown Richard off the boat but he let him to stay there. Pi was struggling and starving to survive and so was the tiger. But, Pi, despite of being so hungry and tired, tried to help Richard too. He helped the Tiger by providing him some of the fishes he catched. At last, he also helped Richard to safely get on to the island. So, we can conclude that Pi was very helpful and rather of being selfish, he helped himself and Richard to survive.
2) It was the most adventurous and deadly experience ever. Our ship was wrecked by the storm. The other animals died by drowning but I managed to get on to a boat, with a human. We were struggling a lot but somehow we reached an island, safe and sound after a long journey. The boy helped me with food. I am still very grateful to him.
