How does Wealth in the great gatsby relate to today's world

English

Natalija [7]3 years ago

Nearly a century after its publication, F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" remains a literary classic. One challenge it presents, though, is understanding how the Roaring '20s tale of Jay Gatsby's pursuit of wealth and romance at all costs is still relevant nearly a century later. The novel's portrayal of materialism, superficial relationships and the myths of fame and celebrity create remarkable parallels between Gatsby's world and the present day.

Materialism
Possessions and status are a key ingredient to many of the characters' lifestyles. In order to attract Daisy's interest, Gatsby defines himself by his enormous house, decadent parties and distinctive cars and clothing. Daisy, too, values materialism, as the convenience of her marriage to wealthy polo player Tom Buchanan keeps her from fully embracing Gatsby's vision for their future. High school English teacher David Dowling writes that America's continued obsession with materialism is one reason for the novel's permanence, depicting the conflict between moral values and the desire for wealth that still entangles people today.

When used as part of a compound, determine which pronoun to use by
givi [52]

Answer: its function in the sentence.

Explanation:

There´s a grammatical rule to determine the function of a pronoun in a sentence when used as part of a compound. Which pronoun to use will be established by its function in the sentence.

For example, in the Subject position, "he," "she," or "I" should be used. However, as the Object of a verb or preposition, "I" is replaced by "me," "he" is replaced by "him," and "she" is replaced by "her."

What is equality? How does a person feel when they have experienced equality?
frosja888 [35]
Equality is the condition of having the same privileges, status, or rights for all the members of the group; fairness. When a person experiences equality they feel important and feel as if they have the same opportunity.

Equity refers to fairness in economics, while equality means minimising the disparities in income and wealth among a nation's household. I feel as if they differ because equality is typically defined as treating everyone the same and giving everyone access to the same opportunities. Meanwhile, equity refers to proportional representation . I think equality is more important because it gives everyone the chance to be treated the same .
