Answer:

If the question is referring to Rothman's article "The Serious Superficiality of the Great Gatsby", I believe the correct answer is C. The novel is about refusing to see reality no matter the cost.

Explanation:

<u>According to Rothman, the novel's (and the eponymous film's) appeal stems from its flatness, seductiveness, and rejection of reality.</u> Even though the characters are nominally seeking love and meaning, they are "desperate to give in to nearly anything—a drink, a person, a story, a feeling, a song, a crowd, an idea".

Rothman goes on to say: <u>"'Gatsby' captures, with great vividness, the push and pull of illusion and self-delusion; the danger and thrill of forgetting, lying, and fantasizing; the hazards and the indispensability of dreaming and idealization."</u> The underlying reality of the novel and the so-called "roaring twenties" that serve as its backdrop is grim. It's a world of deep class struggles, poverty, social climbers such as Gatsby who earned millions illegally. However, the characters in "Gatsby" are eager to sweep these unpleasant issues under the rug and cover them with parties, riches, gossip, and other superficial ways to kill time.

What effect does the author's use of language such as "cause a swimmin and awsome create in the poem F. It makes the speaker sou
Stells [14]

Answer:

It makes the speaker sound casual

Explanation:

The use of "cause, a-swimmin, and awesome" by the poet makes her sound casual. A casual text is one that is written in a relaxed tone, and an informal manner. Such a text makes use of everyday language that is easily understood by the reader. As a person reads the poem, "Ode to an Otter", there is a feeling of familiarity and good understanding of what the poet is saying because of her choice of words.

She abbreviated <em>because</em> using <em>'cause' </em>and<em> always swimming</em>, using <em>'a-swimmin'</em>. This removes the formality in the poem and makes it informal or casual.

how does the concept vocabulary contribute to the sense of finality suggested by the title of the story
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

- The words all share the theme of destruction.

Explanation:

Diction or the choice of words always plays a vital role in serving the author's purpose by conveying the specific intended meaning effectively to the readers.'

In 'The Fall of the House of Usher', <em>the use of the concept vocabulary puts up to the essence and feeling of 'finality' as proposed by the story's title as 'all the words share the common theme of destruction</em>.' This theme of knocking down is clearly reflected in the words 'fall of the house' of Usher which connotes 'desolation' or 'demolition.'

Analyze the impact of specific word choices on tone.
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

This speech sets the mood for the horrible events which will follow...namely the murder of Duncan, which leads to the murders and deaths of so many others.

It prepares the audience for what is to come, teaches them about Lady Macbeth's character and what she is capable of, and also informs the audience as to the type of person Macbeth is.  We know, for instance, from her speech, that he would not come up with the idea of murdering Duncan on his own and he certainly would not go through with this plan if she were not there to give him "courage".  

The speech also sets up the theme of gender roles--Lady Macbeth at the beginning is more of the pants-wearing character by her own character analysis than her husband who is, according to her, "too full of the milk of human kindness" to do anything against his beloved King.  

Setting these two up as strong vs. weak at the beginning makes for interesting comparisons later in the play when Lady Macbeth becomes weaker and more human...guilt-ridden and suicidal and when Macbeth begins planning murders without the help of his horrid wife.

Without that speech, the play would be a very different being.  It is essential to not only the plot but character development.
