At the turn of the century, unwed pregnancy was seen as a scandal, something unacceptable in society and that made both the mother and the child despised by everyone and even by the family itself. Currently, unwed pregnancy is seen with less hostility.

As a single mother, Grace would have faced a very difficult future. She could be rejected by the family, be frowned upon in society and not be able to support herself and her son anymore, because in a factory she would hire a single mother.

By reading the letters, we can see that Grace was very afraid of being a single mother, because she knew it would be very difficult. For this reason, she begged her b0yfriend to assume the child's paternity.

Answer:

Nick Carraway, Tom Buchanan, Daisy Buchanan, and Jay Gatsby

Explanation:

Nick Carraway

The novel's narrator, Nick is a young man from Minnesota who, after being educated at Yale and fighting in World War I, goes to New York City to learn the bond business. Honest, tolerant, and inclined to reserve judgment, Nick often serves as a confidant for those with troubling secrets.

Tom Buchanan

Powerfully built and hailing from a socially solid old family, Tom is an arrogant, hypocritical bully. His social attitudes are laced with racism and sexism, and he never even considers trying to live up to the moral standard he demands from those around him.

jay gatsby

Gatsby is a dreamer, constantly envisioning a better future for himself and focusing on what is possible, rather than what is practical. Like many Intuitive personalities, he often seems somewhat distracted or detached from what's happening around him.

OLEGan [10]
<span>B) He is not heroic

Mr. Flood's party is a poem centered around a modern man, he feels alienated and alone in a world that has become for him meaningless.

"For soon amid the silver loneliness
Of night he lifted up his voice and sang,
Secure, with only two moons listening,
Until the whole harmonious landscape rang—"
