Answer:

The stopped in the Valley of Ashes on their way to the city to meet Tom's girl, his mistress Myrtle Wilson.

Nick felt he had been ambushed or forced to meet her even though he had expressed no desire to be acquainted with her.

Explanation:

F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" revolves around the story of Jay Gatsby and his desire to reunite with his former girl friend Daisy Buchanan. The story deals with themes of wealth, social life, a lost American Dream, love, life, etc.

The narrator Nick Carraway mentioned how he met Tom Buchanan's mistress in Chapter 2. Tom has been married to Daisy for several years now and his mistress Myrtle is also married to George Wilson. When Tom took Nick to meet Myrtle, it was more of a forced invitation rather than a request. Nick recalls how Tom was <em>"taking hold of [his] elbow literally forced [him] from the car."</em> Nick seems angry about the whole thing, <em>"The supercilious assumption was that on Sunday afternoon I had nothing better to do."</em>

So, Tom and Nick stopped to meet Myrtle Wilson, Tom's mistress. Nick feels that it was more of a forced meet rather than a request to make him acquainted with her.

Match the description to the word. 1. the information needed to understand a story complication 2. artificial ordering of events
motikmotik
1. the information needed to understand a story = exposition. 
Exposition refers to the author giving you some background details necessary for readers to understand what is going on in the story. Exposition is a fancy literary term for introduction to a story, which slowly leads the readers into the plot.

2. artificial ordering of events = plot.
Plot represents what is happening in the story - it refers to the events that occur throughout a novel, or a story. For example, the plot of Harry Potter is a boy going to a wizarding school in order to become powerful enough to defeat his enemy.

3. fictional person = character. 
A character is someone who is made up by an author in order to represent people in a novel or a story. For example, in Lord of the Rings, there are characters such as Frodo, Bilbo, Aragorn, Gandalf, etc who all appear in the book.

4. long prose narrative = novel.
A novel is a long narrative in the prose form. Prose is opposite of poetry, which means that it is written in a different way. Novels can be long or short (but definitely longer than a short story). Narrative means that there is something happening in it.

5. the catalyst that begins the major conflict = complication.
Complication refers to an event that complicates everything in a story. Usually this complication will lead to conflicts between characters which will have to be resolved throughout the story if the author wants to have such an ending.

6. partially established by the setting = mood.
Mood of a story refers to what feelings the author is trying to convey through the use of his word choice, setting, characters, events, etc. For example, in The Raven, by Poe, the mood is quite dark and dreary, as well as pessimistic and scary.

7. the turning point in the story that occurs when characters try to resolve the complication = climax.
Climax literally refers to the turning point - after that, the complication will either be resolved and all characters can finally be happy about it, or the opposite may happen - things may end in a very bad way. In Hamlet, for example, the complication ends with everyone dying. 

8. the set of events that bring the story to a close = resolution.
Resolution means that a lot of things happened throughout a story, but that everything is solved in the end and the story can finally be completed. Resolution means that there are no more conflicts because everything is resolved.

Can u write an essay on how celebrities have an impact on society
frutty [35]
Well, celebrities impact society in a lot of ways. It is sad actually. They set  trends that everybody wants to follow because they want to be celebrities themself.  But, do they really know what comes with the price of being a celebrity. It can start from sacrifices to much more. These people  we call famous, we don't know  them. Half of us say  we love  them but, do we really. Personally, I think celebrites impact us in ways that shouldn't be done. They mold us into something wee are not. Whether we may  be number one fans or "love" them, we will  do  anything and sacrifice anything to try to get to there level of fame. Is is worth  it. No, why would it be. I don't think it is that important to be famous. It is quite stupid. So, celebrites impact society in the way of changing who we are.

Kindness is one human quality we need more of<br>Essay ​
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Kindness towards nature, animals and other people has the ability to transform the world and make it a beautiful place for living. But, it is also important to remember that kindness towards you is also essential for personal growth.

Kindness is basically being polite, compassionate and thoughtful. Every religion and faith teaches its followers to be kind. Most importantly, kindness must not limit to humans but also to every living creature.

Even nature has its own way of showing kindness. For instance, the trees grow fruits for us and provide us with shade. One must not see kindness as a core value but as a fundamental behavioural element. When you are kind to your loved ones, you create a stable base.

As people are becoming more self-centred today, we must learn kindness. We must try to integrate it into ourselves. You might not know how a small act of kindness can bring about a change in someone’s life. So, be kind always.

Kindness Always Wins!!!

How do clauses help improve your writing?

Clauses highly improve sentence structures. They can make the sentence sound a lot better to the tongue, and it even make the sentence easier to understand. I hope this helps! :)
