The Great Gatsby Chapter 5: What does this quote mean?

English
1 answer:
Elan Coil [88]3 years ago
6 0

Looks like a dry conversation. But! The defunct mantelpiece clock symbolically represents Gatsby's delusional perception of time and his desire to prevent time from moving forward. Although it has been five years since the last time he saw Daisy, Gatsby genuinely believes that he can ignore the present and return to the moment he met Daisy in Louisville. ^w^

olasank [31]

Answer:

The teeter-totter was shared by the boys.

Explanation:

Passive voice is when the object of the sentence becomes the subject of the sentence. The subject of the sentence then receives the action instead of doing it. Passive voice always includes a form of the verb 'to be' and a particle of the main verb. In the case of the last sentence, the teeter-totter is the object/subject. "Was" is the past tense form of the verb "to be." Shared is the past particle of the verb "share."

So basically, the breakdown is like this:

The teeter-totter  +   was       +   shared by   +  the boys.

       object          past tense    past particle      subject

                            of the verb    of the verb

                               'to be'             'share'

All the other sentences are in active voice as the subject is doing the action. "Lilly took", "Little boy arrived", "The boy started playing" all have the subject in front of the verb.  

Hope this helps. :)
