Tom feels like he is of the "superior" race. He explains a book that he read that says that if they don't watch out, the white race will be "submerged" in just a matter of years. Clearly he believes that as a white man he is of the dominant race, and the fact that there is a book published about it and he can freely say these things shows that many people in society are of the same mind. 
Some people today still think this way, although it is socially not acceptable to say it or act like it. Fitzgerald probably included this information to show how opinionated Tom is and set the tone of society at the time.

Which evidence best supports the conclusion that this story was written for children?
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer: Narrator is talking with a child in his mind

Explanation:

The Willow-wren and the bear

Evidence that best supports this conclusion is that the narrator is talking and interpreting in this story with a child in his mind and we can see that in a part:

“Pau Amma’s babies hate being taken out of their little Pusat Taseks and brought home in pickle-bottles. That is why they nip you with their scissors, and it serves you right!”

It is like he is talking about something that is showing us the experience of a child.

Which element of modernist poetry is evident in this excerpt from "Richard Cory" by Edwin Arlington Robinson? And he was rich—ye
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Modernist poetry is characterized by a love of paradox. Instead of confirming our supositions about the world, it means to challenge them. A famous example is the opening of T.S. Elliot's <em>The Wast Land</em>: "April is the cruellest month", where spring, traditionally seen as a fair and benevolent season, is shown as harsh, as if it were fall or winter. In this poem, the author presents us with a man that has "everything" (wealth and education), yet instead of leading a happy life kills himself. The apparent incongruence is meant to shock us into reflection.
