Why does Gatsby finally tell nick the truth about his past

1 answer:

4 0

Nick is one of the few people who shows a genuine interest in becoming friends with Gatsby, and Gatsby wants Nick's approval. For this reason, he feels a desire for Nick to know him. But Gatsby also wants Nick to believe the wealthy persona and background that Gatsby has invented about himself as a way of making it real.

<u>Topic: a family holiday trip </u>

<u>Tone: cheerful, hopeful, optimistic</u>

One of the best holidays I spent in my life was in January 2017. It was one of the very few journeys I went on with my dad that I can remember. Dad, my brother and I went to La Serena, Chile.

It was a lovely summer day when we started our journey. We traveled by car and we had rent a beautiful flat in front of the beach. As soon as we arrived we went to a restaurant and had some absolutely delicious food. We arranged our suitcases on the flat and spent the rest of the day on the beach. Being so close to my father after many years of hard feelings, bitterness and endless arguments was something that I really enjoyed and never thought it would be possible.

We spent five amazing days there visiting local fairs, beaches, shops, cafés and just relaxing from an agitated year that we had gone through. Spending quality time with my little brother and my father was what I had longed for many years. These days together had helped us to strengthen our relationship and create a bigger sense of family.

Those holidays represented the starting point of the healing of my relationship with my father and the union of our family after many years of war between my divorced parents.

Which lines in this excerpt from act IV of Shakespeare’s Romeo and juliet reflect the conflict of person versus the unknown?

Lisa [10]

Answer:(JULIET wakes)

JULIET: O comfortable friar! where is my lord?

I do remember well where I should be,

And there I am. Where is my Romeo?

FRIAR LAURENCE: I hear some noise. Lady, come from that nest

Of death, contagion, and unnatural sleep:

A greater power than we can contradict

Hath thwarted our intents. Come, come away.

Thy husband in thy bosom there lies dead;

And Paris too. Come, I'll dispose of thee

Among a sisterhood of holy nuns:

Stay not to question, for the watch is coming;

Come, go, good Juliet,

(Noise again)

I dare no longer stay.

JULIET: Go, get thee hence, for I will not away.

(Exit FRIAR LAURENCE)

What's here? a cup, closed in my true love's hand?

Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end:

O churl! drunk all, and left no friendly drop

To help me after? I will kiss thy lips;

Haply some poison yet doth hang on them,

To make die with a restorative.

(Kisses him)

Thy lips are warm.
