In <em>The Great Gatsby</em>, Nick is constantly in a struggle between admiring the lavish lifestyles of the rich of New York, and hating the superficiality and fakeness that comes with these. This ambivalence is a source of tension throughout the story.

However, towards the end of the novel, Myrtle's death, Gatsby's murder, and everybody's reactions to the events finally convince Nick that this lifestyle is a selfish, rotten one. He decides he wants nothing to do with it anymore, and decides to return home. By taking these actions, Nick is finally able to redeem himself, as he is able to establish that he is a different character from everyone else, and that he values more important things.

The narrator trys to redeem himself after being living a life style that, even though he had always admired rich and powerful people, once he gets into that context of lavish lifestyle, he realized that he did not like the excessive luxuries, the betrayals and the values that people had in this context. He got so dissapointed of this reality that he had experienced, that he returns home in order to get rid of all this matters that did not let him enjoy his life.

He redeems him self because once he returns home because he gets free of all this suffering and dissapointment that he has been experiencing in this life context full of excesses and lack of good values and codes between people.

Thomas Gray has sometimes been classified as a pre-Romantic writer. Romantic writers valued emotional experience over logical ar
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Thomas Gray uses following characteristics of Romantic writers in "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard” (1751)

  • Theme (death)
  • Setting (rural and Gothic)
  • Subjectivity
  • Nature (superiority of village, sounds of birds)
  • Silence and Loneliness
  • Melancholic mood

Some characteristics of Neoclassicism in this poem include

  • Restrained literary rules
  • Personification
  • Moralizing

Explanation:

A literary work is considered Pre-Romantic if it has characteristics of both  Neo-classicism and Romanticism - having only Romantic characteristics will make it Romantic and not Pre-Romantic.

Thomas Gray's "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard” has both Neoclassic and Romantic characteristics.

Romantic characteristics of the poem include;

Theme of death

Setting: The poem is set in churchyard which has silence and loneliness (a Gothic setting which is characteristic of Romanticism such as in Ancient Mariner by S.T. Coleridge), and a village - again a romantic characteristic.

Subjectivity: The poet expresses his own thoughts about death using the pronouns "I" and "me" (Wordsworth's Tintern Abbey, Daffodils) which are subjective.

Nature: Rural setting, owl’s complaint, twittering of swallow, loud and shrill crowing of rooster are all symbols of nature.

Silence and loneliness

Melancholic mood

Neoclassic characteristics of the poem include;

Restrained literary rules: Each stanza has the same style and each line is iambic pentameter.

Personification of abstract ideas and nonliving objects, such as Earth, Fair Science , Melancholy, Memory, Honour etc.

Moralizing: The poem has a didactic lesson that rich people of the cities should not look down upon the poor people from villages.

So considering the romantic and Neo-classic characteristics of "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard”, it is considered a Pre-Romantic poem.

In what ways can names be empowering?
galben [10]

All names, though some common and others strange are empowering. For example: The name Lloyd means "Sacred", Sultan means "King", Lilith means "Night", really its the meaning behind the names or even its origins that make it empowering. A name can be considered limited when it was made up by the mother and there is no exact definition behind the name or the name is short and it seems to have very little significance. The way we can make that our names are always empowering is to remember that our names are part of our identity, our names have value and a significance or definition behind that make us unique.

Hope this helps you hon :)

What will you eat on unknown Island​
gregori [183]
1. Kale

It’s got loads of fiber, iron and vitamins A, C, and K. It’s also got more calcium than milk. Just in case the deserted island is also somehow polluted, kale provides excellent cardiovascular support. It’s a natural anti-inflammatory and rich in antioxidants – handy since there probably won’t be any doctors.

Kale is easy to grow in your own backyard; you don’t have to be a green thumb. Plant a little, and it grows like a weed, replenishing itself naturally as you pull off the leaves. As a bonus, you can boil the stems for a simple vegetable broth.

2. Beans

Most deserted islands don’t have pharmacies that sell Metamucil. You’ll need to procure lots of fiber to keep those bowels moving, and beans are an excellent place to start (in addition to all the kale you’ll be eating, of course). Beans are great because they’re easy to grow and easy to store. They’re also rich in calcium, iron, and fiber.

If you’ve brought a companion to your deserted island, you’ll want to soak the beans before cooking. Soaking for eight to 10 hours releases enzymes in your beans, which means less tooting and easier digestion. Beans also decrease your risk of colorectal cancer, if eaten regularly.

3. Kiwis and Berries

Berries are amazing and often underestimated. They help us feel full, lose weight, and prevent disease. They’re also rich in antioxidants and contain high levels of phytochemicals, which protect us from cell damage so we can live long, happy, albeit lonely lives on the island. (Or buy yourself more time to wait for a rescue). Hopefully, you brought your handy book of poisonous berries. If in doubt, stick to kiwifruit – an easily recognizable berry.

4. Cantaloupe

This powerful melon is incredibly high in vitamin A, which has the bonus of being very good for the lungs. It’s also high in vitamin C and potassium, and chock full of beta-carotene. Plus, it’s clinically proven to grow on virtually every tropical island!

5. Quinoa

Some island dwellers like to bring barley, which not only lowers bad cholesterol and promotes good cholesterol but can also be used to brew your own beer and whiskey. The problem is, it’s not suitable for the gluten intolerant, which most of us are, at least a little. Quinoa is an excellent alternative since, as mentioned earlier, it contains nine essential amino acids, making it a complete protein. In case you don’t plan to fashion your own bow and arrow and take down some antelopes, quinoa is a great alternative.

6. Seaweed

It’s got more vitamins and minerals than you can name, plus it’s plentiful on the island and dried easily for storage. Crunched up it works great as a salt substitute.

Deserted islands really aren’t so bad. People pay good money for that kind of holiday, and they make sure all go smoothly, such as checking if the season is right, hotels booked have good ratings, and travel insurance is sufficient to cover all of the potential diseases they might encounter. Hopefully, vitamin and nutrition deficiency won’t be one of them!
