English

Answer:

Personification

Explanation:

Personification is the figure of speech used in literary texts that consists of giving animated characteristics to objects and aims to bring greater richness of meaning to the text and greater understanding and interest for the reader. This resource used in the poem brings more animism to the text, since the writer is able to express herself in a more sentimental way using the language resource.

It is possible to notice the personification in the excerpts:

"It's as if the rain

had pierced my temples".

and

"a gleaming pebble

from constant rubbing

becomes a comet".

Which of the following best describes the reunion between Gatsby and Daisy? Question 7 options: Embarrassing and unsatisfying Aw
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Awkward, yet successful

Explanation:

The first time Gatsby and Daisy saw each other after a very long time, was on the house of his new friend Nick Carraway who happened to be Daisy’s cousin. At first, it felt very awkward since they had a flame for each other in the past; but now, Daisy was married to someone else. But as time passed, Gatsby and Daisy started talking and started reminding about the time they met and the time they spend together. After a while, it was like nothing happened between them and that time hadn’t moved. That is why the correct answer is “Awkward, yet successful”.
