The great gatsby f. Scott Fitzgerald summary.
Answer:Nick Carraway, a young man from Minnesota, moves to New York in the summer of 1922 to learn about the bond business. He rents a house in the West Egg district of Long Island, a wealthy but unfashionable area populated by the new rich, a group who have made their fortunes too recently to have established social connections and who are prone to garish displays of wealth. Nick’s next-door neighbor in West Egg is a mysterious man named Jay Gatsby, who lives in a gigantic Gothic mansion and throws extravagant parties every Saturday night.
Nick is unlike the other inhabitants of West Egg—he was educated at Yale and has social connections in East Egg, a fashionable area of Long Island home to the established upper class. Nick drives out to East Egg one evening for dinner with his cousin, Daisy Buchanan, and her husband, Tom, an erstwhile classmate of Nick’s at Yale. Daisy and Tom introduce Nick to Jordan Baker, a beautiful, cynical young woman with whom Nick begins a romantic relationship. Nick also learns a bit about Daisy and Tom’s marriage: Jordan tells him that Tom has a lover, Myrtle Wilson, who lives in the valley of ashes, a gray industrial dumping ground between West Egg and New York City. Not long after this revelation, Nick travels to New York City with Tom and Myrtle. At a vulgar, gaudy party in the apartment that Tom keeps for the affair, Myrtle begins to taunt Tom about Daisy, and Tom responds by breaking her nose.

As the summer progresses, Nick eventually garners an invitation to one of Gatsby’s legendary parties. He encounters Jordan Baker at the party, and they meet Gatsby himself, a surprisingly young man who affects an English accent, has a remarkable smile, and calls everyone “old sport.” Gatsby asks to speak to Jordan alone, and, through Jordan, Nick later learns more about his mysterious neighbor. Gatsby tells Jordan that he knew Daisy in Louisville in 1917 and is deeply in love with her. He spends many nights staring at the green light at the end of her dock, across the bay from his mansion. Gatsby’s extravagant lifestyle and wild parties are simply an attempt to impress Daisy. Gatsby now wants Nick to arrange a reunion between himself and Daisy, but he is afraid that Daisy will refuse to see him if she knows that he still loves her. Nick invites Daisy to have tea at his house, without telling her that Gatsby will also be there. After an initially awkward reunion, Gatsby and Daisy reestablish their connection. Their love rekindled, they begin an affair.
After a short time, Tom grows increasingly suspicious of his wife’s relationship with Gatsby. At a luncheon at the Buchanans’ house, Gatsby stares at Daisy with such undisguised passion that Tom realizes Gatsby is in love with her. Though Tom is himself involved in an extramarital affair, he is deeply outraged by the thought that his wife could be unfaithful to him. He forces the group to drive into New York City, where he confronts Gatsby in a suite at the Plaza Hotel. Tom asserts that he and Daisy have a history that Gatsby could never understand, and he announces to his wife that Gatsby is a criminal—his fortune comes from bootlegging alcohol and other illegal activities. Daisy realizes that her allegiance is to Tom, and Tom contemptuously sends her back to East Egg with Gatsby, attempting to prove that Gatsby cannot hurt him.
When Nick, Jordan, and Tom drive through the valley of ashes, however, they discover that Gatsby’s car has struck and killed Myrtle, Tom’s lover. They rush back to Long Island, where Nick learns from Gatsby that Daisy was driving the car when it struck Myrtle, but that Gatsby intends to take the blame. The next day, Tom tells Myrtle’s husband, George, that Gatsby was the driver of the car. George, who has leapt to the conclusion that the driver of the car that killed Myrtle must have been her lover, finds Gatsby in the pool at his mansion and shoots him dead. He then fatally shoots himself.
Nick stages a small funeral for Gatsby, ends his relationship with Jordan, and moves back to the Midwest to escape the disgust he feels for the people surrounding Gatsby’s life and for the emptiness and moral decay of life among the wealthy on the East Coast. Nick reflects that just as Gatsby’s dream of Daisy was corrupted by money and dishonesty, the American dream of happiness and individualism has disintegrated into the mere pursuit of wealth. Though Gatsby’s power to transform his dreams into reality is what makes him “great,” Nick reflects that the era of dreaming—both Gatsby’s dream and the American dream—is over.

sweet talk means like bribing and comforting
clean his house means make it like neat and tidy
hope this helps, have a good day!
Answer: Malcom X states "sweet- talking" in his dialogue. This is used to show expression, and sugar coat his words. He is trying to be nice and persuasive to attempt to get a person to do something (such as fulfilling a task). The expression "clean his house up" is used within his next sentence. This is a metaphor to say that, if he can't do something with an object), he shouldn't have it. Likely, this is used to engage and give the reader something to think about while reading.
Which answer choice accurately describes the active voice?
A verb in the active voice is done for its subject.
A verb in the active voice is done by its subject.
A verb in the active voice is done without a subject.
A verb in the active voice is done to its subject.
Explanation:
it s the second and becos an active voice is done by the subject to the object
A verb in the active voice is done by its subject is accurately describing the active voice. Hence, option B is correct.
What is active voice?The dog chases the ball, therefore the subject is acting in the active voice. Take note of how the dog, the subject of the action, is chasing the ball, the target of the action. This is a clear, straightforward illustration of the active voice.
The subject usually completes the activity indicated by the action verb in English phrases. These examples demonstrate how the verb's action is carried out by the subject. These sentences are considered to be in the active voice because the subject performs the action or "acts upon" the verb.
When a sentence is written in the active voice, the action is carried out by the sentence's subject. The subject receives the action in a sentence written in the passive voice.
Thus, option B is correct.

The beaches I visited in Aruba had clear turquoise water. I'd seen the same clear turquoise water in the brochures. Now combine the sentences by completing the relative clause. The beaches I visited in Aruba had the same clear turquoise water that
Answer:
The beaches I visited in Aruba had the same clear turquoise water that I had seen in the brochures.
Explanation:
A relative clause, or adjective clause, is a group words that has a subject and a verb. It functions like an adjective would, offering information about a noun in the sentence. This type of clause starts with a relative pronoun or a relative adverb (who, whom, that, which, when, etc.)
When we have two sentences that mention the same thing or person, we can often change one of the sentences into a relative clause. To do so, we add the relative pronoun and drop anything that is repetitive. Let's do that to the sentences that were provided in the question:
1. The beaches I visited in Aruba had clear turquoise water.
2. I'd seen the same clear turquoise water in the brochures.
Combined sentence: The beaches I visited in Aruba had the same clear turquoise water that I had seen in the brochures.
We did not need to repeat "clear turquoise water." We combined the sentences by transforming sentence 2 into a relative clause.

How did King reference Hughes' poetry in his speeches? He quoted entire lines of Hughes' poetry. He borrowed brief phrases from Hughes' poetry. He inserted titles of Hughes' poem into his speeches. He only spoke to similar themes of Hughes' poetry.
Answer:
B. He borrowed brief phrases from Hughes' poetry.
Explanation:
Martin Luther King was a very good friend of Langston Hughes, a poet. Both of them were against the racism that was so prevalent at the time they lived. Hughes was a proponent of Communism which made him a target of the government. King tried to distance himself from him in his speeches by not openly referencing his name when he used quotes from his poems.
King inserted brief phrases of Hughes' poetry in his speech. For example, his quote, "I am personally the victim of deferred dreams..." is a reference to Hughes' poem titled, "Dreams Deferred" which was first named Harlem in 1951.

This questions if for The Tell Tale Heart: The narrator claims to have several qualities that insane people don't have. Circle the qualities that he mentions. In your opinion, does having those qualities prove his sanity- or not? Please Help!!!!
Answer:
The narrator affirms, astutely, to act as wisdom and is aware of what he is doing. However, in my opinion this does not confirm his sanity.
Explanation:
The narardor is acting crazy, but he knows that the crazy are not taken seriously and he wants everything he says to be taken seriously by the reader. For this reason, he claims that he has characteristics that mad people do not have, to confirm his sanity. These characteristics are cunning, the ability to act wisely and the awareness of your actions. However, the way the narrator plans a murder and the reasons that lead to it, are completely insane, which makes him seen as crazy anyway.

Both football hooliganism and juvenile delinquency require individuals to be rehabilitated. D. Football hooliganism and juvenile delinquency are both often the consequences of individuals leaving their groups in favor of individualism.
Answer:

Therefore, the best statement that describes the relationship between these two violent actions is that they both are illegal activities that sometimes become very dangerous.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
Answer:
A. Football hooliganism and juvenile delinquency both involve illegal, sometimes very dangerous, actions.Explanation:
