The parties have nothing to do with Gatsby himself. He doesn't care if he attends and usually can't be found. The parties are a statement. They are a way in which he can stage events that will get his name bandied about, all in the pretense of having one woman hear his name. The attention he desires is Daisy's alone. The parties, if she hears of them (he knows that eventually she will), are meant to convey to her that he is now financially worthy, that he can afford the opulence and society she is accustomed to. He wants her to know he's there....... wild, expensive parties given on a regular basis will generally do the trick.

Silas was : A linen-weaver who, as a young man, is falsely accused of theft and thus cast out as a scapegoat from the close-knit church community of Lantern Yard. He settles on the outskirts of the village of Raveloe, his faith in both God and humanity shattered by his experience in Lantern Yard. He quietly plies his trade, an odd and lonely stranger in the eyes of the villagers. Marner is the quintessential miser in English literature, collecting and hoarding the gold he earns at his loom. In the course of the novel his gold is stolen. Some time later, he finds a baby girl, Eppie, asleep at his hearth. His love for this golden-haired foundling child-who, in the novel's most famous symbol, replaces Marner's beloved gold pieces in his affection-facilitates his return to faith and humanity.

Read the passage from "All Gold Canyon”.

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

- the center of all life in that area

(third option listed)

Explanation:

the description of this location goes beyond "soothing nature sounds"--it describes the <em>movement</em>, color, and life flow of the canyon. It mainly focuses on motion, not the "quietest place", and it does not mention "rare wildlife" at all.

('spirit of peace' also contributed to my answer)

The short-run aggregate supply curve is upward sloping because the quantity supplied increases when the price rises. ... As a result, there is a positive correlation between the price level and output, which is shown on the short-run aggregate supply curve.

The short-run aggregate supply curve is upward-sloping because it takes some time for input prices and/or wages to adjust. ... When the aggregate demand curve shifts, there will be a short-run change in output, but no long-run shift in output. The price level will change in both the short run and the long run.

As the price level rises, supply increases as firms expand production to increase profits. And as price level falls, supply falls as firm reduce production. For this reason the short-run aggregate supply curve slopes upward.

I hope this helps!!
