Alright so I never actually read the book so please take this with a grain of salt. From what I have just read it seems that Gogol comes to accept his non-American side and appreciate his Indian-American identity. I'm not sure why he comes to terms with it, but apparently he does. In the ending he sits down and reads the book his dad gives him by Nikolai Gogol. So yes, I think he does accept his name. However I strongly encourage you to verify that if you have the book. I hope this helped :)
I don't understand, is this really a question?
To understand if they are noun phrases or not, it is necessary to understand its definition:
A noun phrase is a word or a set of words including a noun, whose function in a sentence can be: to act as a subject, an object or a prepositional object.
Sentence A is not a noun phrase. it is a prepositional phrase functioning as the postmodifier of the noun phrase (a lovely bouquet).
Sentence B is a noun phrase functioning as the subject of the sentence.
Sentence C is a noun phrase functioning as a direct object.
Sentence D is not a noun phrase, as it is a dependent clause and has not nouns in it.
Romeo claims he believe that dreams hold the secrets of his fate and therefore dreams for him have great value.
If you have to determine whether the text you are reading is an acatemic one, you should follow this tips :
-It is usually a piece of argumentative <span>prose which is usually written by students and it looks like a research.
- It must be precise, objective and neutral (impersonal)
-It is written in semi-formal style
- The structure must consist of such points : the first paragraph represents the truth (based on the proven facts and personal knowledge, author reveals the truth); providing of evidences to support main idea; presenting references to balance the whole text.
