Answer:

The answer is indeed imagery.

Explanation:

Imagery is a literary device that uses language to appeal to the five senses (sight, taste, touch, smell and hearing). It involves readers, helping them visualize what is being described.  Readers are, thus, able to imagine a certain scenery, action, smell, or even a sound from the way it is described in the text. In this excerpt of "The Great Gatsby",  Nick's description of the party is vivid due to the way he chooses his words to picture it. He could very well have said it was fun, loud, and bright, but he chooses to help readers understand and visualize how:

fun - readers can imagine the sort of music the orchestra is playing as people hold their yellow cocktails in hand;

loud - readers can hear in their minds as the opera pitches a key higher, on top of all the people already talking and laughing around the house;

bright - readers can see the house turning on all its lights as the evening comes, as if the absence of the sun was no big deal.

Who is this Thomas á Becket fellow? Why does the narrator-persona begin his discussion of the various pilgrims by describing the
777dan777 [17]

Becket was born about 1119,[4] or in 1120 according to later tradition.[1] He was born in Cheapside, London, on 21 December, which was the feast day of St Thomas the Apostle. He was the son of Gilbert and Matilda Beket.[note 2] Gilbert's father was from Thierville in the lordship of Brionne in Normandy, and was either a small landowner or a petty knight.[1] Matilda was also of Norman descent,[2] and her family may have originated near Caen. Gilbert was perhaps related to Theobald of Bec, whose family also was from Thierville. Gilbert began his life as a merchant, perhaps as a textile merchant, but by the 1120s he was living in London and was a property owner, living on the rental income from his properties. He also served as the sheriff of the city at some point.[1] They were buried in Old St Paul's Cathedral.
