<u>Answer</u>:
In the beginning of his essay "Science and the Sense of Wonder," Isaac Asimov presents a famous poem by Walt Whitman. In that poem, C: The speaker becomes tired and wanders off alone to look at the stars in silence after listening to the astronomer.
<u>Explanation</u>:
Issac Asimov states that instead of only gazing at something and admiring it, one should try to understand how something works. If we appreciate nature of science, we should also know how it works. Once we understand, it makes it more beautiful.
The essay "Science and the Sense of wonder" compares Asimov's and Whitman's perspective on science and the sense of wonder. According to Issac, Whitman could not present the beauty of stars properly in his poem ''When I heard the Learn'd Astronomer''.
He only used hypothetical situations and remained ignorant about its beauty in the poem. The narrator couldn't feel connected during the lecture with the facts told about the stars. So, he became bored at the end.
Answer:
This passage is from chapter 6 of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel "The Great Gatsby", where Nick believes Jay Gatsby's dream of getting Daisy back after all the years is ending.
Explanation:
In Chapter 6 of "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Nick Carraway narrates how Jay Gatsby had wanted to get back with his former lover Daisy. But Daisy had already married Tom Buchanan, who Jay despises.
Tom and Daisy had come to Gatsby's house to party and Tom had decided to follow Daisy just to keep an eye on Gatsby. After the party got over and everyone has left, Gatsby exclaimed to Nick that Daisy is different, that "<em>she doesn't understand</em>". When asked further, Nick realizes that Jay wanted Daisy to leave her husband and come to him. He wanted her to "<em>obliterate the four years</em>" she's married to Tom, and "<em>go back to Louisville and be married from her house—just as if it were five years ago</em>". For Gatsby's part, it sounded a bit greedy, expecting her to act how he wanted things to be.
Madly in love with her, he wanted to get back with her on his terms, not thinking of what the others will feel. This, Nick feels, is the blatant end of Gatsby's dream which was to get Daisy back. This is his version of truth, Daisy telling Tom "<em>I never loved you</em>" and go to Jay, while the truth was that it was just a dream, wishful thinking. Unable to see past his own fantasies and wants, he believes and want/ expect Daisy to return to him.
