What are some examples of synecdoche in The Great Gatsby?

English

Valentin [98]3 years ago

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.

10. Summarize the author's message about the Celtic people's legacy. Use evidence from the text to support your answer.​
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

The author's message about the Celtic people's legacy is that though they did not have any written account, they left a legacy of oral tales.

Explanation:

"Who were Celts?" is an article written by Amy Baskin. The article talks about the Celtic tribe and how their stories and accounts still prevail even after no accounts were written by them t first-hand.

The message that the author wants to convey concerning Celt's legacy is that though they never had any written account, their stories are still told in literature. The legacy they left was not of written account but oral account. They passed on their legacy by word of mouth.

Textual evidence:

<em>"The Celts may not have kept written records of themselves, but  thankfully, they were great storytellers. Much of their oral tradition has  been passed down from one generation to the next."</em>
