Two characteristics of the writers of "The Lost Generation" are a lack of patriotism and pessimism about the future. After the First World War, women realized their importance in the labor market and politics and began to seek greater participation in these fields.

Fitzgerald uses imagery and descriptive language to give an in-depth look at the story. Two events that influenced modern literature were the Great Depression and the World Wars.

<h3>What was "The Lost Generation?"</h3>
  • It was a term created by Gertrude Stein and popularized by Ernest Hemingway.
  • It was a term that referred to the generation of people who fought in World War I and had to live through the Great Depression.
  • It was the term used to describe a tired generation, without perspectives and with a tendency to break rules and seek change.

The First World War brought many social changes, one of these changes was related to women, who realized the relevance and social strength they had. These women began to look for political representation that would allow for greater freedom and independence.

But not only did women's lives change during this period, but literature was also greatly affected by the two World Wars and the Great Depression. These events generated different literary styles and writers to tell their experiences, something that influences literature to this day.

Finally, it is important to emphasize how Fitzgerald's literary works present such a well-constructed scenario, which allows the reader to have a deep view of the work.

This happens through the constant use of imagery that makes the reader feel like living in that scenario and feeling all the impact it promotes. Fitzgerald also makes use of many adjectives creating an immersive and efficient descriptive language for the reader.

How do the ants prepare for a mass crossing of the moat?
Ad libitum [116K]

Thanks for posting. I hadn't thought of it before.

The quick answer to this is that they gather leaves to make boats. As a science major, I'm a little doubtful this would work. Those ants covered acres and acres and their size though relatively small, were huge compared to other ants. The surface tension of water with a leaf might be enough to accommodate 20 ants, but that was a spit in the bucket.

Further, this implies that the ants were discriminating enough to stop eating the vegetation (which is the central conflict of the story) and decide that they had to forestall their appetite so they had leaves to cross. Even if they were capable of such higher lever mental abilities, there likely were not enough leaves around to accomplish the crossing.

All of that just so I could answer A

Answer:

good, but the use of satirical techniques needs improvement. The first “good” example does a better job of capturing the satirical tone desired for this assignment. Remember, you can also look to all of the satirical pieces in the SpringBoard book as examples.

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

C) Mandela furnishes several inspiring examples of his courage during times of racial oppression in order to motivate his audience to turn away from poverty, deprivation, and discrimination.

Explanation:

Mandela who happens to be one of the most respected South African ever lived was accorded this respect as a result of his sacrifices during the aparthied period. He was jailed for 25 years and later came out of proison and went ahead to ebcome his country's president.

During his address to the audience who where mostly new genrations of South Africans that never witnessed the aparthied, he had to make references to courage in the time of opperession. This was what he used to motivate his people to turn away from poverty, deprivation and discrimination.

He believed that, if his people discriminate, they are simply reliving the events of the aparthied regime where the blacks where discriminated against by the whites in their own country.
