English

Answer:

Tom and Nick stopped at the Valley of Ashes to met Myrtle Wilson, Tom's mistress.

Nick feels that he'd been forced to meet her and felt that Tom hadn't even told him beforehand or given him any choice to meet her.

Explanation:

F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby" revolves around the story of Jay Gatsby and his lost American Dream. The novel also focuses on the themes of wealth, social class, love, appearance, and reality, etc. through the characters.

In Chapter 2, Nick recalls how Tom<em> "literally forced"</em> him to met Myrtle Wilson, his mistress. Tom felt that Tom's approach of his<em> "company (is) bordered on violence" </em>and that Tom had the<em> "supercilious assumption [...] that on Sunday afternoon I had nothing better to do."</em> This shows how Nick was unprepared and even maybe felt coerced to meet the woman, despite not expressing any desire to be acquainted with her.

nadezda [96]

"Cyclopes have no muster and no meeting,

no consultation or old tribal ways,

but each one dwells in his own mountain cave

dealing out rough justice to wife and child,

indifferent to what the others do. . . ."

The above statement is how the lives of Cyclopes differs from the lives of Odysseus and his men. <em>For the Odysseus men, they have families and children. Also they have tribal ways and traditions which they always maintain.</em>

Which of the following best describes the function of “Time” in the following poem, Sonnet 18 by William Shakespeare? Shall I co
DiKsa [7]

Answer: a) The speaker declares that his beloved’s loveliness will live on forever through his poetry, unlike the short-lived summer season.

Explanation:

Everything will eventually die with time. Even the sun is not spared death with time. That is the function of time, to eventually kill everything and leave it in Death's shade.

This is what William Shakespeare speaks of in this poem. He infers that summer will fade with time and so will her beauty but that he has found a way to circumvent time by writing of her beauty in a poem. And for as long as people can read, her beauty will never be killed by time for it will last forever.
