Answer and Explanation:

1. We learn about Gatsby's past as James Gatz. Explain his relationship with Dan Cody.

When Gatsby was still a teenager, he met Dan Cody, an old millionaire who came to trust Gatsby more and more over the course of a few years. They met as Dan Cody dangerously sailed in his yatch. Gatsby borrowed a boat and rowed to the yatch to warn Cody about the wind and how perilous his situation was.

Cody hired Gatsby as a type of personal assistant. But, as Gatsby proved himself reliable and ambitious, the old man grew fond of him. He left Gatsby $25,000 when he died, but Cody's woman, using some legal device, prevented Gatsby from ever receiving the money.

2. How do the Sloanes and Tom represent old money vs new money when they are rude to Gatsby? How did you feel during that part of the novel?

The Sloanes and Tom Buchanan appear at Gatsby's mansion one day while horseback riding. They are old money, which means their wealth has been in their families for generations. Gatsby, on the other hand, is new money, meaning there is no fame or tradition behind his wealth.

Their visit shows the open disposition of new money. Gatsby is excited about their visit. He is even more eager upon being invited to dine with the Sloanes. New money is ready to engage, to accept, to invite and be invited. What Gatsby doesn't notice is that old money is ready to despise and to judge. They are there to have a couple of drinks, and that is it. They do not care about Gatsby, since they find him inferior to them. The invitation to dine is not serious, and they all know it, which makes it distastefully surprising when Gatsby accepts it. Simply put, old money will never see new money as their equal.

This part of the novel feels uncomfortable, even irksome. As we read it, we wish Gatsby would know what we know; we wish he would see those people for who they really are and despise them for being shallow snobs. Yet, his eagerness and trust in others makes his character even more likable. Gatsby is not the type of hero we are used to seeing in stories nowadays. It is this mixture of cleverness and innocence that makes him special.

Which of the following is not a value of deaf culture?
NeX [460]

I believe cochlear implants since deaf people often read lips and watch hands which is both sign language and visual communication

i think deaf people would prefer getting together in person as well since it is easier to read lips and/or see signs

whilst cochlear implants not everyone will have them and they wont be bothered by it so thats why i'm saying Cochlear implants

sorry if im wrong...

Answer:

The purpose is to inform us about the advances our world is having in space, it also gives us commentary about what is happening in the very moment the first man walks on the moon.  All the texts are very effective in informing us about what is going on at he time.  The first one has good ethos because you can see it from The Times which is a highly trusted source. Second on has good pathos, it tells us how they had to breath through oxygen tanks for many hours and kind of makes you feel bad for them.

How much is 3/4 of 32 color tiles
Bond [772]
24 colour tiles because if you convert 3/4 to a percent, it is 75%.
75% of 32 is 24 (After converting the percent to a decimal -> 32 x 0.75 = 24)
Sorry if this sounds confusing.
