Hello. You forgot to say that this question is about "The Great Gatsby".

Answer and Explanation:

Although "The Great Gatsby" has some romantic elements, I believe that the story goes far beyond that, not allowing me to see it as a romantic and sentimental story. On the contrary, I believe that "The great Gastsby" presents the domination of money, the American dream and the imbalance between the social classes that the country presents. The book shows how all these factors, acting together, interfere in the lives of citizens, in all possible elements, even in love.

Answer:

the last lines are put in a bracket because they do not make the thoughts of the poet, and neither do they make the voice of the rain. What they contain, is the observation that the poet made as regards the course the poem is taking.

b)

reck'd or unreck'd means that whether or not you cared for the sound of the rains, if someone listened to the sound made by the rain, if someone didn't listen, whatever the case may be, it does not affect the rains and neither does it affects the poet.
