Answer: He should raise his hand, wait to be called on, and inform the moderator that the group is no longer on topic.

Explanation:

For number one: The group ran off topic, he shouldn't wait until the next meeting to get back on topic. He's getting himself in trouble by tuning into the off topic conversation.

For number two: He's basically doing the same thing as number one. He had an idea for the topic not a side conversation.

For number four: It's rude. It could work but it would most likely cause trouble.

Hope this helps.

What stories does Gatsby tell Nick about his past. Which of these seem improbable and which seem believable? Defend your answers

ratelena [41]

Answer and explanation:

What stories does Gatsby tell Nick about his past?

In Chapter 4 of the novel "The Great Gatsby", Jay Gatsby tells the narrator, Nick, his "true" life story. According to him, he was the son of very wealthy people from the Middle-West. After his parents died, he inherited their fortune and live in Europe collecting jewels. He was educated at Oxford and fought bravely at the war, even receiving decorations from several countries.

Which of these seem improbable and which seem believable? Defend your answers by citing evidence from the text.

The ones that seem most unbelievable, even in the narrator's opinion, are the ones concerning his education and life in Europe. The way Gatsby talks about Oxford is suspicious; he chokes on his words. The way he describes his wealthy life collecting jewels is superficial, mechanical, not really painting a picture for his listener:

"I am the son of some wealthy people in the middle-west--all dead now. I was brought up in America but educated at Oxford because all my ancestors have been educated there for many years. It is a family tradition."

He looked at me sideways--and I knew why Jordan Baker had believed he was lying. He hurried the phrase "educated at Oxford," or swallowed it or choked on it as though it had bothered him before. And with this doubt his whole statement fell to pieces and I wondered if there wasn't something a little sinister about him after all.

[...]

"After that I lived like a young rajah in all the capitals of Europe--Paris, Venice, Rome--collecting jewels, chiefly rubies, hunting big game, painting a little, things for myself only, and trying to forget something very sad that had happened to me long ago."

With an effort I managed to restrain my incredulous laughter. The very phrases were worn so threadbare that they evoked no image except that of a turbaned "character" leaking sawdust at every pore as he pursued a tiger through the Bois de Boulogne.

However, Gatsby gets to convince Nick of his truth after showing him a medal and a picture. Nick tends to believe people in general, having been taught by his father to not hurry into judging others.

His being the son of wealthy people is, to my mind, the story that is most plausible while Gatsby is telling it. He even shows some deep feelings while mentioning his family:

"My family all died and I came into a good deal of money."

His voice was solemn as if the memory of that sudden extinction of a clan still haunted him. For a moment I suspected that he was pulling my leg but a glance at him convinced me otherwise.

Aside from these stories, what other evidence is there to suggest that he is lying?

Gatsby's attitudes are suspicious. The way he is constantly looking at Nick, observing his reactions, show a strange concern for what others think of him; the type of concern someone who is telling the truth doesn't have. Also, as the Chapter continues, we see Gatsby receive mysterious phone calls, meet up with gangsters, get rid of a police officer just by showing him his card etc. It is plain to see that he is involved in some illegal activity.

In the scene where Mildred and Montag read books together,what are their separate reactions

Feliz [49]

At the end of Part One, Montag pulls down about twenty books from the ventilator of his home. Mildred is initially terrified to learn that her husband has been hiding contraband books in their house and attempts to throw the novels into the incinerator. However, Montag stops Mildred and explains to her that they need to read the novels in order to figure out their lives. As the two sit in silence and read the novels, Montag walks throughout his home reading sentences over and over while Mildred continually glances at her blank parlor walls. Mildred then becomes frustrated and upset while they are reading. She kicks a book and begins to complain that "books aren't people." Mildred can only think about her "family" on the interactive televisions in the parlor and believes that reading is a waste of time. In contrast, Montag believes that reading books is well worth the challenge. He is in search of knowledge that might help him live a fulfilled life and believes that books might have important answers inside them. Montag is motivated to read and finds it necessary to look throughout the novels. Mildred fears that Beatty will find out they are reading and burn their home, but Montag thinks that reading is worth the risk.
