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.

Based on your own experiences and observations, which two phrases should be considered when predicting what paul will do? unexpe
horsena [70]

Based on my experiences and observations, the two phrases which should be considered when predicting what Paul will do in Unexpected Visitor by T. Herlinger are option D. "wracked with embarrassment and guilt" and option E. "hiding from the New York crowd of pedestrians".

<h3>Who is the unexpected visitor in this story?</h3>

In the story Unexpected Visitor by T. Herlinger, the unexpected visitor is Paul's father.

Paul's father, in a grey business suit, baking in the August heat, visits his rebellious son to understand his situation.

He is happy that his son has become independent and decides to eat lunch with him.

<h3>What do the last actions of Paul suggest?</h3>

When Paul's father reaches up and ruffles Paul's hair, grinning at him, Paul quickly turns his head away, wracked with embarrassment and guilt, as he is ashamed of the fact that he had disobeyed his father and had discontinued helping him in his restaurant.

After that, "Paul ducked his head, hiding from the New York crowd of pedestrians, and wheeled the rack of clothes down the sidewalk in the other direction." This shows that he doesn't want to encounter any other familiar faces and is ready to ditch his father from their appointed meeting to eat lunch together.

Therefore, the two phrases which should be considered when predicting what Paul will do in Unexpected Visitor by T. Herlinger are option D. "wracked with embarrassment and guilt" and option E. "hiding from the New York crowd of pedestrians."

Read the sentence.
Vilka [71]
I think the bolded words would be "whom Mr. Stein chose". The clause whom Mr. Stein chose is an example of an adjective because the clause describes the word student. Student is the subject of the sentence and is a noun. An adjective describes a noun or another subject. an adverb describes a verb or another adverb.
