What is the significance of the train in "Paul's case" and "A journey "

2 answers:

6 0

The trains in the stories symbolized the journey the characters underwent to get what they want.

The trains are also the witnesses to the death of the characters. In the story "Paul's case" Paul committed suicide by jumping in front of a train. In the story "A Journey" the husband died in his sleep inside the train while the wife accidentally died when the train reached its destination.

It also sends a message of whatever journey one enjoys in life, he/she will always end up dead or death is an inevitable destination.

The train symbolizes a journey from what the characters have to what they want.

Paul's Case: Paul takes the train to his fantasy life; then he uses it as his weapon of choice on his journey from this life to the next.

A Journey: The woman's journey is taking her from a world of illness and death into what should be a life of her own; instead its takes her to death.

I hope this helps!!! :)

Which of these is a symbol in the novel "The Great Gatsby?"

Eddi Din [679]

The correct option is $\boxed{\text{C. a pair of eyes on a billboard}}$ .

Further Explanation:

In the story "The Great Gatsby" Fitzgerald revolves around a love story of a man and a woman but there lies a much bigger platform under the romantic level. The story throws light on the people living during the 1920s in America. He portrays the character and the story who reflect on the hollowness of the moral aspect of the people. The people at that time rushed blindly behind the false and materialistic pleasure. The extravagant parties and the newly rich class of the society are the reflections of the American dream. The desire for money and pleasure constituted the dream of the Americans. The hippocras of the rich people and their lack of sensitivity has been highlighted in the story. The eyes of T.J Eckelberg which were printed on the billboard represented the level of commercialism hidden in the American dream. The eyes reflect on the emptiness in the life of Gatsby. Although he had earned a huge amount of money through illegal activities, still he lacked the presence of Daisy, the love of his life. The eyes represented different aspects for different people. To George Wilson, the eyes reflected the presence of God's eyes over the people. To Nick, it was the past which always keeps an eye on the present and the future.

The parentheses portion of the sentence is a ?

djyliett [7]

Answer: C. an independent clause (A. a coordinating conjunction) Explanation: Although nothing is underlined, I think the question stiil can be answered. But first, a quick revision. Independent clause is the one that conveys a complete thought and contains enough information to stand on its own. On the othet hand, dependent clause can only express a meaning if it is linked to an independent clause via the subordinating conjunction. In our sentence, both clauses, "The harsh wind scoured the scant remaining leaves from the trees" and "A desolate landscape remained in its wake" are independent clauses and as such they are linked together via a coordinating conjunction "and". So, if any of these two clauses is underlined then the correct answer is "independent clause". However, if the conjunction "and" is underlined, then the answer is "coordinating conjunction".
