English
1 answer:
Vikentia [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

It means that the fellow in question (Gatsby) is like David Belasco, a theater producer and playwright who is known for his realistic sets.

So, he compares Gatsby to David Belasco.

Explanation:

In the Great Gatsby, a dude who was at one of Gatsby's many parties who was expecting Gatsby's books to be fake just like everything else about Gatsby is fake. But the reverse was the case - the books turned out to be real. But Gatsby has never read them. At this point, the guy called Gatsby, "...a regular Belasco". Actually comparing Gatsby to David Belasco, a stage/theater producer and playwright.

David Belasco is known to have pioneered many innovative forms of stage lighting and special effects which he used to create realism and naturalism.

the principal cancelled the prom you are trying to persuade him to reconsider, use ethos, pathos or logos to write your sentence
trapecia [35]
Logos- "Prom usually makes students happy, and recent evidence has shown that when students are more happy they tend to focus more, which brings grades up and ultimately helps the school's reputation."

Ethos- "Many professionals recommend having a prom so that the students' minds can relax and to give them a small break so that they come back with more focus, drive and motivation."

Pathos- "Prom gives us students a break from all of the homework and studying and misery, and we would really appreciate it if you gave us just those hours of freedom before we submerge ourselves in our books once more."

I hope any of these work for you!
