Read this excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave.My Dear Friend:

You remember the old fable of "The Man and the Lion," where the lion complained that he should not be so misrepresented "when the lions wrote history."

I am glad the time has come when the "lions write history." We have been left long enough to gather the character of slavery from the involuntary evidence of the masters. One might, indeed, rest sufficiently satisfied with what, it is evident, must be, in general, the results of such a relation, without seeking farther to find whether they have followed in every instance.

In this allusion, the lion symbolizes _____.

slavery in general

freedom in general

the slave

the slavemaster

How can the book "The Great Gatsby" relate to modern day society?

Answers

I think it can relate to modern day society in many ways. People still love to party, among so many of the other themes in the Great Gatsby.
The love that Gatsby and Daisy had I believe can still be found today, adultery is still common in our modern day society, as well materialism.
These are just a few examples.
I hope I helped! If you need any more help or would like further explanation just let me know! :)
