My own house was an eyesore, but it was a small eyesore, and it had been overlooked, so I had a view of the water, a partial vie

w of my neighbor's lawn, and the consoling proximity of millionaires—all for eighty dollars a month. What does this excerpt reveal about Nick? He is not particularly impressed by material wealth and fashionable appearances. He plans to move into another house as soon as the opportunity arises. He is wealthy enough to live in West Egg but not wealthy enough to rent a very nice place. He is desperate to become part of the elite society of West Egg and East Egg.

Answer:

What this passage tells us about Nick is:

C. He is wealthy enough to live in West Egg but not wealthy enough to rent a very nice place.

Explanation:

Nick is impressionable enough to call his own house an eyesore and to think of the proximity of millionaires as "consoling". Therefore, we can eliminate option A. Option B is also wrong because there is nothing in the passage to reveal his desire to move to a different house. He likes it where he lives. Finally, option D speaks of desperation to become part of the elite, but Nick does not reveal that feeling at all. He is used to the company of wealthy people - perhaps not millionaires, but wealthy nonetheless.

<u>We are left with option C. Nick comes from a well-off family. He does have some means, and he can afford to live in West Egg. However, he is not so rich as to rent a mansion. He takes a smaller house, one that has been overlooked, whose rent is affordable and that offers the perks of living in a great neighborhood.</u>

What happened during the Great Leap Forward?
viktelen [127]
<span>During the Great Leap Forward, Mao tried to produce more grain and iron among other resources, but instead, he primarily ended up with a lot more dead bodies and a forever tainted legacy.I think it is important to analyze the motivation behind the Great Leap Forward in order to gain a better understanding as to what exactly happened during the time period.The most basic theory could be that Mao was truly trying to improve the state of China.At this time, China was definitely lagging behind most European nations and America while historically, China was far ahead of these nations (think Tang Dynasty).
One key factor that drove Western nations ahead of China was industrialization.
Mao probably knew this, and it was definitely logical to think that China needed to industrialize in order to reach greater heights. In fact, the Great Leap Forward can be seen as one giant attempt to industrialize.Another idea is that the Great Leap Forward was Mao’s plan to cement his own power.On the surface level, if the Great Leap Forward succeeded, the Chinese people would view Mao as a national hero, bringing China back onto the forefront of the world stage.
But even if the Great Leap Forward didn’t succeed in its economic ambitions, it would have strengthened the sense of Chinese national identity.
The Great Leap Forward mobilized almost all of China towards one common goal, and arguably for the first time, people living in rural areas were incorporated substantially in a national policy.
This focus on people living in rural areas, which was the vast majority of China during the time of the Great Leap Forward, gave Mao their approval. <span>The motivation behind the Great Leap Forward is a topic of debate, but the result of the Great Leap Forward is not really shrouded in mystery.
</span><span>Tens of millions of people died and the Chinese economy shrunk considerably due to failed enactment of Mao’s ideas (people should have realized sooner that melting cooking pots was not a great source of metal and over farming lands led to rotting crops, not more crops).</span><span> Many people speak of the Great Leap Forward and the Great Chinese Famine as two separate events, with one causing the other, but I think that the two terms should really be synonyms.</span>But if I would've choose one of these answers, I would say C. Hoped I helped!
