Answer:

Jazz Age

Further Study Gatsby and the Jazz Age

The Great Gatsby is set against the backdrop of 1920s New York City, a period known as the “Roaring Twenties” for the exhilarating pace set by the rapidly evolving culture and technology. It was a decade of tremendous wealth in the United States following the deprivations of the First World War, and the upper-class characters of Gatsby exemplify the hedonism of the era.

Fitzgerald explores the major developments of the Roaring Twenties, including the birth of jazz, the women’s suffrage movement, economic prosperity, and the rapid growth of Manhattan as a cosmopolitan city. He mentions the many new technologies beginning to be popularized at the time such as automobiles, radio, movies, as well as the growing influence of the financial markets in New York. Several characters (including Gatsby and Nick) served in the war, an unstable period that established the country as a global economic leader, and the characters’ unstinting embrace of luxury echo the country’s rampant appetite for consumer goods during the period.

What is the rhyme scheme of stereo hearts and what is the rhythm scheme of A Red Red Rose? What patterns are in the rhyme scheme
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The rhyme scheme of stereo hearts is AABB, while A Red Red Rose follows the ABCB rhyme scheme, it uses an Iambic trimeter in which there are three iams for line:  for example that’s sweetly played in tune. They both are talking about love

Explanation:

they both use simile, in Stereo hearts: “Just keep me stuck inside your head, like your favorite tune.”

In A Red Red Rose: “O my Luve is like a red, red rose”

While in A Red Red Rose the first and the second stanzas have the same structure, but different to the second and third stanzas which share the same structure  

In stereo hearts: just the 3rd and the 7th stanza share the same pattern and there are not many patterns in this song.

Read the excerpt from The Odyssey. My home is on the peaked sea-mark of Ithaca under Mount Neion's wind-blown robe of leaves, in
Veseljchak [2.6K]

This question is missing the options. I've found them online. They are the following:

What key detail should be added to strengthen the student’s paraphrasing of this excerpt?  

A) Dulichium, Same, and Zacynthus are all visible to Ithaca.

B) Odysseus holds his home very close to his heart.

C) The islands surrounding Ithaca lie to the east and the south.

D) Ithaca lies under Mount Neion and to the northwest.

Answer:

The detail that should be added to strengthen the paraphrasing is:

B) Odysseus holds his home very close to his heart.

Explanation:

A paraphrase consists of rewording something that was said by someone else. That is, we say the exact same thing but with different words. Thus,<u> to strengthen the student's paraphrase in this case, we must look for the idea that is missing.</u>

<u>In the original excerpt, Odysseus talks of Ithaca's geographic location, the fact that it is a good place "for a boy's training", and the fact that the island is a place he loves:</u>

<em>I shall not see on earth a place more dear.</em>

<u>However, the student's paraphrase has left out this last idea. To make it more complete, we should add that Odysseus holds his home very close to his heart.</u>
