He wanted nothing less of Daisy than that she should go to Tom and say: "I never loved you." After she had obliterated four year
solmaris [256]

Answer:

This passage is from chapter 6 of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby", where Nick believes Jay Gatsby's dream of getting Daisy back after all the years is ending.

Explanation:

In Chapter 6 of "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Nick Carraway narrates how Jay Gatsby had wanted to get back with his former lover Daisy. But Daisy had already married Tom Buchanan, who Jay despises.

Tom and Daisy had come to Gatsby's house to party and Tom had decided to follow Daisy just to keep an eye on Gatsby. After the party got over and everyone has left, Gatsby exclaimed to Nick that Daisy is different, that "<em>she doesn't understand</em>". When asked further, Nick realizes that Jay wanted Daisy to leave her husband and come to him. He wanted her to "<em>obliterate the four years</em>" she's married to Tom, and "<em>go back to Louisville and be married from her house—just as if it were five years ago</em>". For Gatsby's part, it sounded a bit greedy, expecting her to act how he wanted things to be.

Madly in love with her, he wanted to get back with her on his terms, not thinking of what the others will feel. This, Nick feels, is the blatant end of Gatsby's dream which was to get Daisy back. This is his version of truth, Daisy telling Tom "<em>I never loved you</em>" and go to Jay, while the truth was that it was just a dream, wishful thinking. Unable to see past his own fantasies and wants, he believes and want/ expect Daisy to return to him.

Bond [772]

Answer:

d. In the absence of a date of publication, write n.d. to indicate no date was provided.

Explanation:

When you need to use APA format, the procedure for citing inside of a text consists of including the author and the date of the information cited. To be clear, this implies including both the author's last name and the year of publication in the text to later place full reference in the final list of the document. If such year is not available, you should proceed as stated above.

Should college athletes get paid? Give 8 reasons why college athletes should or should not get paid.
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Reasons, why college athletes should get paid, are:

1. College athletics generates billions in revenue and none goes to the revenue-generators.

2. Colleges shouldn’t be a free minor league for pro sports.

3. Being a college athlete is a 40-plus hour a week commitment

4. NCAA corporate offices shouldn’t look like something from a Trump resort.

5. The term “student-athlete” is a farce when you’re pulled from classes to play your sport.

6. Athletes have their social media monitored for no good reason.

7. 25 college football teams profited more than $30 million.

8. Coaches' salaries are closing in on eight-figures.

9. Coaches can leave without penalty, but players have to sit out a year when transferring.

Reasons why school athletes should not be paid includes:

1. Who's going to pay for it all?

I'm no economist, but it's pretty much common sense that if college athletes get paid, costs will go up.

Football players will be paid the most obviously because of popularity. The question then would be, how

much? If you're a college student going to a major university and you're not an athlete, odds are tuition is

going to go through the roof.

2. Others don't get paid as well

This goes back to No. 6, regarding the college process.

Plenty of college students nationwide are not paid for their contribution everyday. The biggest example being

internships. Many others must first start off as a non-paid employee to jump start their career. Why should we

make exceptions for athletes?

3. Which athletes get paid?

This is easily the biggest dilemma of all and would bring many college protests.

If the football team gets paid, why not the tennis team or the volleyball team? They're athletes too, right? What

about the golf players? They're all there on athletic scholarship. How about the chess team, as well? And

who could forget about the rowing team? And female athletes?

It would never end because you've opened Pandora's box. Once you pay one athletic program, you would

have to pay every program.

4. They already get paid

Major colleges provide the best services to their "student athletes."

5. Sends a bad message

Is this what we want elementary and middle school students to see? As soon as they see this they will be

demanding pay at the high-school level. The message College Sports would be sending is "it's ok to hold out

for more money and it's ok to only pay some athletes but not others." Every kid will grow up wanting to join the

football team just regardless of talent.

6. Recruiting won't exist

If college football (legally) paid their athletes it wouldn't last.

The recruiting process would be no more. It would result in one dominant conference for each sport and about

two handfuls of dominant teams. The smaller schools in smaller markets would not be able to compete with

the big universities resulting in loss of programs for many schools.

7. What level or division does it end?

Most "pay college athletes" groups favor paying Division one athletes.

Why not pay division two and three athletes? Do female athletes get paid as well? How about community

college athletes? You can't pay some, but not all... that would be hypocritical. All of those groups generate

revenue.

8. It's not what college is about

College is a provided service by each state. College athletes are not professionals and therefore should not

be paid. The purpose of going to college is to get the training so you can use it later. That's what the NCAA

provides. Athletes play at the college level and they further use that experience at the professional level

where they will be paid. Just like everybody else.

9. What about High School athletes?

"College athletes should be paid because they generate money for their schools."

That's the argument we hear constantly, and if that's the case high school athletes should be paid. Let me just

say now and clarify, I don't believe high school athletes should be paid. I say that even though it is true that

thousands of high schools depend on the athletic program to keep afloat.
