How does Gatsby’s dream of Daisy compare to the reality of Daisy? ( The Great Gatsby).

English

tatuchka [14]3 years ago

Answer:

To Gatsby, Daisy represents the paragon of perfection—she has the aura of charm, wealth, sophistication, grace, and aristocracy that he longed for as a child in North Dakota and that first attracted him to her. In reality, however, Daisy falls far short of Gatsby’s ideals. She is beautiful and charming, but also fickle, shallow, bored, and sardonic. Nick characterizes her as a careless person who smashes things up and then retreats behind her money. Daisy proves her real nature when she chooses Tom over Gatsby in Chapter 7, then allows Gatsby to take the blame for killing Myrtle Wilson even though she herself was driving the car. Finally, rather than attend Gatsby’s funeral, Daisy and Tom move away, leaving no forwarding address.

So in essence, he was sort of disappointed.

Do you believe advertisements and commercials place too much emphasis on physical beauty?
bezimeni [28]
Advertisements and commercials have historically often received criticism for placing too much emphasis on physical beauty and having a negative impact on people's conceptions of self. The complaints against advertisements have only grown in recent years because of the distortions that are used in advertisements to make people look better than they actually look in person. So there are many strong arguments of the impact that media and advertisements have had on societies conception of beauty today and historically.

some victim's do not report abuse and violence they are suffering. Discuss two two reasons why many case's of abuse and violence
seropon [69]
Cases of abuse and violence are often not reported because the victims are scared, or the victims are ashamed. These are the two most important reasons. Also, consider that they may feel worthless, and do not think that anyone will listen. And there is learned helplessness that comes into the equation after a very long amount of time of such abuse and violence, so the victims simply accept that this is the way it's supposed to be, they deserve it, and nothing will ever help them, because this is the way it's supposed to be.
