What are some examples of synecdoche in The Great Gatsby?

English

Valentin [98]3 years ago
5 0

What about Owl-Eyes who acts as the enhancement to the occular imagery in F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby"? 

Having no real name, this character of synedoche acts as the eyes that perceive the truth about Gatsby.  For instance, when he is in the library at Gatsby's house during a party, he is surprised that the books are real and bound in real leather with actual pages; he has suspected that they, like Gatsby, would merely have the appearance of being genuine.  Also, in the last chapter, Owl Eyes is the only one of the party group to attend the funeral for Gatsby because, as he come "splashing" after Nick and Mr. Gatsby, he wants to meet the father and learn more about Jay Gatsby.  When he talks to Nick after the funeral, he remarks,

<span>'I couldn't get to the house.''Neither could anybody else.''Go on'...Why my God! they used to go there by the hundreds.'
</span>

Like the billboard that sits overlooking the Valley of Ashes, Owl Eyes sees and understands all.

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

A. The aunt thinks that the content of the story was too graphic for the children,  but the bachelor disagrees.

Explanation:

The short story "The Storyteller" by Saki tells the story of a train journey where three small children along with their aunt were on a train to Templecombe. Beside them in the same compartment was a young bachelor who seemed less than impressed to be in the same compartment with the group.

In an attempt to distract and quieten the children, the bachelor ended up telling a story of a<em> "very good girl"</em> who was devoured by a wolf. Though the children were able to be good and <em>"quiet for ten minutes"</em>, a feat which the bachelor insist the aunt wasn't able to do, the aunt exclaimed that it was too graphic for them to be told that story. the gory details, the ending which resulted in the good girl dead, and the medals for being good leading to her death all were the many topics that the aunt had most presumably tried hard to swerve the children away from learning. In her opinion, she wanted to teach them only good things and not something as graphic as the young man had just done. This causes conflict between the two adults.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
