Daisy was driving when Myrtle was killed. She killed Myrtle but Gatsby is willing to take the blame and the consequences in order to protect Daisy. Daisy only wants to save her own skin. She is selfish and self-centered and Tom is only concerned with maintaining his status in the elite world of the rich and wants nothing to do with scandal. The external conflict would be the law. Daisy will not confess to the hit and run she committed and Tom would not give up his standing in the community to do the honest thing and go to the police with the truth. Daisy and Tom are content with allowing Gatsby to take the blame since it is presumed by some, namely Myrtle's husband, that Gatsby was driving the car at the time of Myrtle's death. Unfortunately for Gatsby, Myrtle's husband arrived before the police and killed him. Both Daisy and Tom are without conscience or a moral compass. They get out of town and never even attend Gatsby's funeral. Kind of hard to face a corpse when you are the reason they are dead.
Answer:
The line is a metaphor for:
B. A life without dreams.
Explanation:
Let's take a look at the poem:
<em>Hold fast to dreams
</em>
<em>For if dreams die
</em>
<em>Life is a broken-winged bird
</em>
<em>That cannot fly.
</em>
<em> </em>
<em>Hold fast to dreams
</em>
<em>For when dreams go
</em>
<em>Life is a barren field
</em>
<em>Frozen with snow.</em>
<em />
<u>As we can see above, in the first stanza the author compares life to a broken-winged bird after mentioning the death of dreams. What the author means is that a life without dreams is as purposeless as a bird that cannot fly. Dreams are what makes life worth living, what gives us a sense of purpose. Without them, there is no reason to go on.</u>
