I just need help answering the question not an essay. In The Great Gatsby, what does F. Scott Fitzgerald suggest about the state of the American Dream, the people who pursue it, and the impact of that pursuit through his depiction of Jay Gatsby and the people in Gatsby’s life? Include specific examples, quotations, and supporting details from the novel in your response. Do not merely summarize the story

Answers

The Great Gatsby is a extended critique of the American Dream. This critique is made up of all the more effective things for being personified by the people who pursue that dream. For a dream is precisely all that it is. No one truly achieves fulfilment, or try as they might. Their lives are like shallow and kinda meaningless. Jay Gatsby's fortune is built on the proceeds of crime, and though he appears to enjoy immense popularity, hardly anyone turns on him.

Which of the following is an invalid cause-and-effect sequence?John went home because it was getting dark.
Kimberly attended the wedding because she was invited.
Joseph was unhappy, and then the phone rang.
Mark was happy when he heard that the tickets were free.

Answers

The answer is: Josephwas unhappy, and then the phone rang. This is an invalidcause-and-effect sequence because the 2 independent clauses don’t follow. Therewas no particular reason stated explaining why Joseph is not happy. The phoneringing has nothing to do with his emotional state. The rest of theoptions make sense, except for this.  
Joseph was unhappy, and then the phone rang.

This is an invalid cause-and-effect sequence because there is no clear indication that one event caused the other.

Question: What were the saddest memories you remember? Answer: I think the saddest memory is the day we had to leave our farm. I know my mother and father were worried. They did not know what would happen to us. We had no idea where we would be sent. People were all crying and many families were upset. Some believed we would not be treated well, and maybe killed. There were many disturbing rumors. Everyone was easily upset and there were many arguments. It was a horrible experience for all of us, the old people like my grandparents, my parents and children like me. We were all innocent. The government had no real reason to send us into these camps. There were racists who did not want the Japanese to own land and begin to prosper. Racism, prejudice, greed, and lack of political leadership caused the evacuation and internment.
