1. How is the behavior of the characters linked to the hottest day of the summer?

The hot weather symbolizes the tension between the characters and foreshadows the conflict that will ensue.

Explanation:

In "the Great Gatsby", F.Scott Fitzgerald's novel, Jay Gatsby is desperately in love with Daisy, his ex-girlfriend. Although Daisy is a married woman now and a mother, Gatsby does everything he can to get her attention - he throws parties, arranges their meetings, etc.

The story of the love triangle that includes Daisy, Gatsby and Daisy's husband, Tom, reaches its climax in Chapter 7. On the hottest day of the summer, there is a lunch at Tom and Daisy's house, which is where the tension starts to grow. Everyone is on edge.

2. What does Tom discover that unnerves him, and how does he discover it?

Tom discovers that there is something going on between Daisy and Gatsby. His theory is confirmed when he sees the two of them exchanging looks.

Explanation:

At Tom and Daisy's house, Gatsby and Daisy's feelings for one another become quite obvious. Bored, Daisy proposes that Gatsby and her go to the city. The two of them look at each other passionately, which all serves as a sign for Tom that something is, indeed, going on between the two of them. Tom is stressed out upon this discovery, and he proposes that all of them, including Nick and Jordan, should go to the city together.

3. What does Gatsby understood about Daisy’s voice that Nick does not?

Gatsby understood that her voice is "full of money." She does not know how it feels to be poor, which is reflected both in her voice and behavior.

Explanation:

In Chapter 7, Nick is trying to figure out why he is so fascinated about Daisy's voice. Nick is unable to reach any conclusion, until Gatsby describes her voice as "full of money." What this actually means is that her voice reflects her personality - she is used to having money and does not even know how it feels to be poor. Unlike Gatsby and Nick who had to struggle to gain wealth (and Nick still does), Daisy has always been rich and financially secure. As it will turn out at the end of the novel, to Daisy, money is more important than love. She would rather stay with the man she does not love and blame Myrtle's murder on Gatsby, than admit fault.

4. In what cars do the five of them travel into the city?

Gatsby and Daisy take Tom's blue coupe, while Tom, Nick and Jordan take Gatsby's yellow car.

Explanation:

As mentioned before, in Chapter 7, on the hottest day of the summer, Tom suggests that the five of them - Gatsby, Daisy, Jordan, Nick and him - go to the city together. The tension between the love triangle increases. Tom, Nick and Jordan take Gatsby's car, while Daisy and Gatsby take Tom's car. They all end up in an apartment at the Plaza Hotel, where Tom and Gatsby start to argue.

Select the correct answer. read this excerpt from leo tolstoy's the death of ivan ilyich: her attitude towards him and his diseases is still the same. just as the doctor had adopted a certain relation to his patient which he could not abandon, so had she formed one towards him—that he was not doing something he ought to do and was himself to blame, and that she reproached him lovingly for this—and she could not now change that attitude. "you see he doesn't listen to me and doesn't take his medicine at the proper time. and above all he lies in a position that is no doubt bad for him—with his legs up." she described how he made gerasim hold his legs up. the doctor smiled with a contemptuous affability that said: "what's to be done? these sick people do have foolish fancies of that kind, but we must forgive them. . " they all rose, said good-night, and went away. when they had gone it seemed to ivan ilyich that he felt better; the falsity had gone with them. but the pain remained—that same pain and that same fear that made everything monotonously alike, nothing harder and nothing easier. everything was worse. again minute followed minute and hour followed hour. everything remained the same and there was no cessation. and the inevitable end of it all became more and more terrible. based on the excerpt, how is praskovya fedorovna a character foil to ivan ilyich? a. she is kind and takes care of ivan, which is why he feels guilty about how he treated her for most of their married life. b. she is vindictive toward ivan while pretending to be worried about him, thus reminding him of how his family has never forgiven him. c. she plays the part of the worried wife without any real feeling, symbolizing the false propriety ivan upheld but now hates. d. she is young, healthy, and beautiful—everything ivan can never be again and wishes he could return to. reset next

In a 10-12 sentence response-style paragraph, explore the degree to which you agree or disagree with faulkner’s message. “i believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. he is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. the poet's, the writer's, duty is to write about these things. it is his privilege to man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past. the poet's voice need not merely be the record of man, it can be one of the props, the pillars to him endure and prevail” (faulkner 773-775).
