Great Gatsby Chapter 6

English
1 answer:
Flauer [41]3 years ago
8 0

Dan Cody was a self-made man who made a fortune in mining and had moored his yacht near where Gatsby was working. Gatsby noticed a storm brewing and rowed out to warn Cody of the storm. In gratitude, Cody offered Gatsby a job, and Gatsby became a general assistant to Cody.

Dan Cody is a millionaire who is sailing in his boat and meets up with James Gatz. He takes on the charming young and allows him to travel about with him and learn about the life of a wealthy man.

Cody was a heavy drinker, and one of Gatsby's jobs was to look after him during his drunken binges. This gave Gatsby a healthy respect for the dangers of alcohol and convinced him not to become a drinker himself. When Cody died, he left Gatsby $25,000, but Cody's mistress prevented him from claiming his inheritance.

Gatsby's response tells the reader that he lacks a certain amount of social sensibility and is unable to recognize social cues. Gatsby misinterprets Mrs. Sloane's invitation and accepts the offer without realizing that she is simply being polite. Gatsby enthusiastically accepts the offer in hopes that he will see Daisy at the dinner and prove that he is worthy of being in her social circle.

“I feel far away from her,” he said. “It's hard to make her understand.” Daisy tries very hard to appear to be impressed by Gatsby's guests and by his party. The atmosphere at the party is subdued compared to the usual frivolity at Gatsby's parties however.

Round to the nearest cent $0.08333
Anestetic [448]
The cent is $0.01, so to round to the nearest cent, you have to round the nearest 0.0X place (the hundredth place).

The 0.0X place in this is 8, and the number after 8 is 3, so the 8 stays the same and does not go up to 9.

Therefore, $0.08333 rounded to the nearest cent is $0.08

The mood of the story is the
Kamila [148]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

B. Emotion or atmosphere created by the author

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Mood describes how the reader is intended to feel while reading.

Identifying Mood

The atmosphere that the author creates using diction and imagery is known as the mood. The mood is not to be confused with the tone, which is the attitude of the author towards the subject. So, the mood is how the reader feels, and the tone is how the author feels.

Mood can be identified by looking at the specific words that the author uses and the connotation of these words. The connotation of the author's diction will create the atmosphere and thus the mood.

Examples of Mood

Mood can usually be described in a few words. For example, words like happy, relaxed, scary, and humorous can be used to describe the mood of some texts.

A more specific example can be seen in the story, "Tell-Tale Heart." In this story, Poe creates a scary, suspenseful mood using creepy diction and imagery.
