How does F. Scott Fitzgerald use his characters and story to show the gains and losses in pursuing wealth and upward mobility brainly

Answer and Explanation:

F. Scott Fitzgerald uses the characters to show how dreaming about something changes the entire psychological and emotional construction of an individual, leading him to the despair that makes him do anything to achieve that dream, even something immoral and improper. This is clear in Gatsby, who through his dream of social ascension, ends up taking very immoral attitudes, these attitudes are reinforced by his dream of being with Daisy. This quest for ascension and achievement becomes more and more desperate, because it seems increasingly distant, even though Gatsby has already achieved most of his goals. F. Scott Fitzgerald shows how uncontrolled despair, guided by desire, can cause tragedies and irreparable losses, as happened with Gatsby, who so much pursued his goals in non-commendable ways, had a sad and undesirable ending.

Music Requirements
Daveed Trellis
Most schools have some sort of fine arts elective requirement that students must complete in order to graduate.
Students often take music appreciation or drawing or sometimes even dance. I believe, however, that all public
Schools should require students to learn to play at least one musical instrument instead of allowing them to take
any art elective. I have many reasons for suggesting this graduation requirement. First and foremost, I believe
that students should be required to learn to play a musical instrument because it is fun.
Which sentence would add an effective supporting detail to this argument?
Practicing an instrument can be a tedious and repetitive task for the person
learning to play
Studies have shown that learning to play a musical instrument improves a
person's ability to memorize material
Musical instruments are very expensive to purchase, and sometimes
parents have to purchase instruments on payment plans.
Parents often complain about having to listen to misplayed notes and
terrible squeaks while their child learns to play an instrument

Stay not to answer me, but get thee gone.—
Why dost thou stay?

LUCIUS. To know my errand, madam.

PORTIA. I would have had thee there and here again5
Ere I can tell thee what thou shouldst do there.
[Aside] O constancy, be strong upon my side;
Set a huge mountain 'tween my heart and tongue.
I have a man’s mind, but a woman’s might.
How hard it is for women to keep counsel!10
[To LUCIUS] Art thou here yet?

LUCIUS. Madam, what should I do?
Run to the Capitol, and nothing else?
And so return to you, and nothing else?

PORTIA. Yes, bring me word, boy, if thy lord look well,
For he went sickly forth; and take good note15
What Caesar doth, what suitors press to him.
Hark, boy, what noise is that?

Read the passage from Ronald Reagan's "Tear Down This Wall" speech.

In the 1950s, Khrushchev predicted: "We will bury you." But in the West today, we see a free world that has achieved a level of prosperity and well-being unprecedented in all human history. In the Communist world, we see failure, technological backwardness, declining standards of health, even want of the most basic kind—too little food. Even today, the Soviet Union still cannot feed itself. After these four decades, then, there stands before the entire world one great and inescapable conclusion: Freedom leads to prosperity. Freedom replaces the ancient hatreds among the nations with comity and peace. Freedom is the victor.

And now the Soviets themselves may, in a limited way, be coming to understand the importance of freedom. We hear much from Moscow about a new policy of reform and openness. Some political prisoners have been released. Certain foreign news broadcasts are no longer being jammed. Some economic enterprises have been permitted to operate with greater freedom from state control. Are these the beginnings of profound changes in the Soviet state? Or are they token gestures, intended to raise false hopes in the West . . . ? We welcome change and openness; for we believe that freedom and security go together, that the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace.

What type of rhetorical device does Reagan use when referring to freedom in this passage?
exclusive language
repetition
emotional appeal
inclusive language
