Aleonysh [2.5K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: The narrator of The Great Gatsby is a young man from Minnesota named Nick Carraway. He not only narrates the story but casts himself as the book’s author. He begins by commenting on himself, stating that he learned from his father to reserve judgment about other people, because if he holds them up to his own moral standards, he will misunderstand them. He characterizes himself as both highly moral and highly tolerant. He briefly mentions the hero of his story, Gatsby, saying that Gatsby represented everything he scorns, but that he exempts Gatsby completely from his usual judgments. Gatsby’s personality was nothing short of “gorgeous.”

In what ways is “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” similar to or different from a traditional love song, and what does this r
tia_tia [17]

The poem is a revisitation of a traditional romantic love song which is altered in order to present a critique of the sentiment of a classical liberal education. Modernist poetry, as such, is meant to express the challenges of progress, the struggle to come up with new ideas and criticism of old patterns of thought.

The refrain which goes ¨In the room the women come and go, Talking of Michaelangelo¨ frames the symbolism of the urban setting describing the emotional context where Prufrock reflects on modern existance. This is meant to emphasize the day-to-day existence that is the focus of the truly modern thinker.

The criticism of a classical form of education is stated most clearly in the following verses: ¨To say: ¨I am Lazarus, come from the dead, Come back down to tell you all, I shall tell you all¨ - If one, settling a pillow by her head Should say: ¨That is not what I meant at all; That is not it, at all.¨.

The biblical theme of the resurrection is brought up to poke fun at the preoccupation in canonical forms of education with studying the ´cornerstones´ of European culture without having a context relating them to the issues and concepts which are important in the contemporary sense.

, what is the meaning of family? What do you think it means to be a parent, especially a mother? How do you relate to your paren
Dovator [93]

Answer:

For me, family is an emotional connection more than a heretitary lineage. The bond between a few people makes them family, not their blood. Being a parent/guardian is nothing more and nothing less than being the nurturing, cultivative figure in a child's life. This is why adoption is an option, because if "family" were restricted to only ancestral lineage, then those who have adopted children and adopted parents/guardians wouldn't be considered a family. Motherhood especially is based on the nurturing nature of a maternal figure. In nature, children often have bonds with their mothers, even if they aren't biological parents, because it is less a matter of who birthed them and more a matter of who cares for them.

When my parents give me advice, I take it more carefully than I would a stranger, or even someone else I trust, because my parents have put in so much time, energy, and resources into my survival and my thriving. Because of their efforts, I know I can trust them. Noone would waste time raising a child only to give them idiotic and/or destructive advice. So I take their advice, and I hold it dear more.

I hope this helps!
