Answer:
Dan Cody is a wealthy copper mogul whom Jay Gatsby saves. In gratitude, <u>Cody hires Gatsby as a personal assistant and introduces him to a life of wealth and luxury</u>. Symbolically, <em>Cody represents the lifestyle and wealth that Gatsby wants</em>. Although Cody leaves Gatsby $25,000, his mistress prevents Gatsby from inheriting the money, creating an obsession with amassing wealth and surrounding himself with luxury.
Explanation:
Cody is a relatively minor character whose generosity and gratitude inadvertently increase Gatsby's sensitivity towards his own lack of wealth and status. Before he and Gatsby meet, Gatsby is working as a janitor for the college. By saving Cody and experiencing the luxury of his life, Gatsby is abruptly confronted with the stark difference between himself and Cody as well as between Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan.
Cody and Daisy share a similar role of representing the wealth and luxury for which Gatsby longs. It's briefly mentioned that Gatsby keeps a portrait of Cody in his house, demonstrating the vast influence the man has on Gatsby and acknowledging the role he plays in diverting the course of Gatsby's life. Working as Cody's personal assistant taught Gatsby the manners of the upper class and helped a young James Gatz create the Jay Gatsby persona.

Explanation:
A homograph is a word that shares the exact same written form (i.e. spelling) as another word but has a different meaning. For example, bass (which could be a type of fish, or a low, deep voice or sound) and bat (a type of sports equipment or an animal).
Answer:
Explanation: Verbal irony occurs when a speaker’s intention is the opposite of what he or she is saying. For example, a character stepping out into a hurricane and saying, “What nice weather we’re having!”
Situational irony occurs when the actual result of a situation is totally different from what you’d expect the result to be. Sitcoms often use situational irony. For example, a family spends a lot of time and money planning an elaborate surprise birthday party for their mother to show her how much they care. But it turns out, her birthday is next month, and none of them knew the correct date. She ends up fuming that no one cares enough to remember her birthday.
Dramatic irony occurs when the audience knows a key piece of information that a character in a play, movie or novel does not. This is the type of irony that makes us yell, “DON’T GO IN THERE!!” during a scary movie. Dramatic irony is huge in Shakespeare’s tragedies, most famously in Othello and Romeo and Juliet, both of which we’ll examine later.
Why Writers Use It: Irony inverts our expectations. It can create the unexpected twist at the end of a joke or a story that gets us laughing — or crying. Verbal irony tends to be funny; situational irony can be funny or tragic; and dramatic irony is often tragic.
Ironic statements (verbal irony) often convey a meaning exactly opposite from their literal meaning. In ironic situations (situational irony), actions often have an effect exactly opposite from what is intended.
