Answer and Explanation:
The text we are analyzing here is part of Chapter 8 of "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
The main character, Gatsby, has gone through a lot in his pursuit of Daisy, the love of his life. When Gatsby left for the war, Daisy married Tom Buchanan, an unfaithful millionaire. Now, Gatsby is trying to get her back. He gets involved with criminal businesses to become a millionaire as well and moves to a mansion right across the bay from Daisy's. Gatsby throws grand parties with the hope that Daisy will one day walk through his doors. They eventually become lovers, but a tragedy is about to end it all for them.
"Gatsby shouldered the mattress and started for the pool. Once he stopped and shifted it a little, and the chauffeur asked him if he needed help, but he shook his head and in a moment disappeared among the yellowing trees."
In the text above, Gatsby is about to be killed by George Wilson. There are a couple of symbols in the text that foreshadow Gatsby's death, such as his brief hesitation and the yellowing trees - green would mean life, but yellow is a reminder that winter is on its way, and that the trees will soon look lifeless. It is also interesting to notice that he is finally about to take a swim in his pool, something he hasn't done all summer. It is ironic that, when Gatsby finally takes some time to enjoy his life, it will suddenly be taken from him.

Answer: Urban myths have been around about as long as mankind has been able to communicate. When the first caveman told the second caveman a "true" story who in turn told a third who told a fourth and so on until the story achieved a widespread belief, the urban myth was born. This primitive beginning bears implications on the impact that folklore has had on our human race. From the Native Americans of the New World to the lore of Beowulf and perhaps even organized religions, the methods and content of these myths has affected us in most profound ways. Now as technology advances into the "Information Revolution" the Urban myth has changed again. The past has always altered the structure, spreadablility and intent behind the myths, but never to the effect of the Internet. Is this new technology really such a great phenomenon? How has it changed these stories meanings and layout? How have stories transferred and transformed from pre-internet to post-internet adaptations? And what are the implications to the answers? Urban myths are a powerful and important piece of our past and future. From observing the changes in the myth as they pass from a more oral tradition to a new digital database, social effects and implications can be discovered with a little insight.
When that first caveman told the second caveman his story our species was at the dawn of creation. What were these exchanges like and how have they progressed to the present day? The first and enduring medium for exchange of myths was oral storytelling. Writing wasnt invented for several hundred thousands years so the oral tradition dominated as one story was passed down to offspring as clearly as any inheritance. An Elder would tell the story to the children who in their time would tell it to the younger generation and the cycle would continue. This type of transfer is particularly enthralling because as the speaker, the storyteller may add his or her own little turn or addition to the story to fit their image of the myth. Because of this capability, the stories evolve and the myths spread unevenly and quickly by word of mouth, developing their own personalities amongst each community, as the myths grow more concrete in their form. The social implications of oral storytelling are great. When a story is told in this format it takes on a different persona because it involves an actual living being telling the story. Physical presence is a powerful thing especially concerning the use of body language as well as spoken language in a students narrative. This adds much to the myth that very few other forms of communication can. Another important fact concerning physical presence is the necessity of social interaction when stories are passed by mouth. Peoples impressions of these myths are different thus their expressions and focus are different when the stories are passed on.
As literacy became more widespread, urban myths changed in several ways. First of all it was possible to make a record of the stories that
