Gatsby chapter 2 summary?
Nick Carraway describes the valley of ashes, which is an industrial wasteland of Queens that's in between West Egg and Manhattan. In the same place, there's a giant billboard advertisement of Dr. T. J. Eckleburg, either an ophthalmologist or an optometrist. Tom Buchanan's mistress, Myrtle Wilson lives in this "ash heaps" area. One day, Nick decides to take the train to Manhattan with Tom, and Tom makes a sudden stop to meet Myrtle. They go to George Wilson's garage, and Myrtle Wilson, George's wife, comes down to the garage. Tom makes a plan to meet her in Manhattan. Once he and Nick leave, he explains to Nick that George is unaware of Myrtle's infidelity. Myrtle boards the same train as Nick and Tom, but she gets into a different car in order to be discreet and not bring any unnecessary attention to themselves. On a whim, Myrtle decides she wants a dog, and Tom buys her a mutt. Nick tries to leave, but Tom and Myrtle insist that he stay with them in their apartment. Nick gets drunk for what he claims is the second time in his life, so his recollection is hazy. Myrtle's sister Catherine, a photographer named McKee, and his wife come over. Catherine tells Nick about the party she went to over at Gatsby's house. She also claims that Gatsby's so rich because he's the cousin of Kaiser Wilhelm. She also tells Nick that both Tom and Myrtle hate who they're married to. She thinks they should get divorced and marry each other instead. According to Catherine, they haven't gotten a divorce because Daisy is catholic. Nick, being Daisy's cousin, knows that Daisy isn't catholic. This was obviously a lie that was probably made by Tom. Nick keeps trying to leave, but fails. A while later, Tom and Myrtle get into an argument about Daisy, and Tom hits her so hard that he breaks her nose. Tom's violent, arrogant nature becomes more apparent. Nick finally manages to leave, and he goes home with McKee. Then, he somehow ends up at the train station.

They were feeling protected, as they believed they would escape death.
"The Masque of the Red Death," is a short story written by Edgar Alan Poe. In this story we are introduced to the following elements:
A terrible and very contagious disease was plaguing a kingdom.This disease was known as the Red Death and was causing panic throughout the population.Prince Prospero also feared that he would be infected with the disease and wanted to protect himself and the people.For this reason, he has locked a thousand guests together with him in an abbey.He believed that this way everyone would be protected from the Red Death.The guests were also feeling that they were protected and that the disease would not overtake them.The guests and the prince were mistaken and no one can escape the disease.With that, we can conclude that Poe made a great allusion to death in this short story, where he shows that no matter what we do, we will not be able to escape death.

Answer:
"I cannot accept that my son is going to believe everything that King Pelias says. He is going to believe King Pelias because of the great banquet he is holding in his honor.

Which change must be made to this sentence to correctly indicate the subjunctive mood, a verb tense in which a doubt, wish, or condition that is not true is expressed? I don't know about you, but if I was a multimillionaire, I'd use my wealth to make the world a better place. A. Change "was" to "could be." B. Change "I'd" to "I would." C. Change "was" to "were." D. Change "was" to "be."
Answer:
C. Change "was" to "were."
Explanation:
The subjunctive mood indicates a doubt. The verb were instead of was indicates a doubt.
It also indicates a wish , a demand or a suggestion which is contained in the second part of the sentence "I'd use my wealth to make the world a better place".
I'd use my wealth to make the world a better place; is correct
I would use my wealth to make the world a better place" is also correct
the difference of I'd and I would does not make any difference.
Compare and contrast the experience of reading The Proposal to listening to an audio version. Did the manner in which any of the actors delivered their lines affect your interpretation of the dialogue? Also comment on the impact reading versus listening to stage directions had on the flow of the dialogue. Use examples from the play in your response.
Answer:
The experience of listening to an audio version of The Proposal was very different from reading it. While the actors’ line deliveries didn’t affect my interpretation of the dialogue, it helped make the play more funny and entertaining. For example, take this excerpt from the play:
LOMOV: But you can see from the documents, honoured Natalya Stepanovna. Oxen Meadows, it's true, were once the subject of dispute, but now everybody knows that they are mine. There's nothing to argue about. You see, my aunt's grandmother gave the free use of these Meadows in perpetuity to the peasants of your father's grandfather, in return for which they were to make bricks for her. The peasants belonging to your father's grandfather had the free use of the Meadows for forty years, and had got into the habit of regarding them as their own, when it happened that. . .
NATALYA STEPANOVNA: No, it isn't at all like that! Both my grandfather and great-grandfather reckoned that their land extended to Burnt Marsh—which means that Oxen Meadows were ours. I don't see what there is to argue about. It's simply silly!
LOMOV: I'll show you the documents, Natalya Stepanovna!
At first, I thought Lomov and Natalya were being civil toward one another. However, in the audio version, the actors’ voices are quite high-pitched, and they speak in a somewhat exaggerated manner. So the manner in which these actors deliver the lines in the audio version helped make it more humorous. Plus, the brash manner in which these lines are delivered provides a nice contrast to the polite manner in which Natalya and Lomov greet each other when they first come face-to-face in the play.
The stage directions didn’t affect the flow of the dialogue much. Hearing the stage directions read aloud in the play helped enhance the dialogue for me. Note this example from the play:
LOMOV: Well, you see, it's like this. [Takes his arm] I've come to you, honoured Stepan Stepanovitch, to trouble you with a request. Not once or twice have I already had the privilege of applying to you for help, and you have always, so to speak... I must ask your pardon, I am getting excited. I shall drink some water, honoured Stepan Stepanovitch. [Drinks.]
The stage directions from this excerpt helped me visualize what was happening, especially since I wasn’t following along with the print version of the play as I was listening.

Which of the following statements about motivation is best supported by the selection from the Point essay below (paragraph 10)?
The philosophy of Lehman Alternative Community School in Ithaca, New York, is to encourage “students to use freedom responsibly, and to make educational choices appropriate to their individual levels of development.” LACS long ago got rid of gold stars, stickers, and even most grades in favor of intrinsic motivation. At an All School Meeting every week, students make decisions on issues facing the school. They make choices about their courses of study and reflect on their learning and achievement. They complete community projects and take trips outside the classroom.
Answer choices for the above question
A. Choice and intellectual freedom inspire a sense of investment in learning.
B. Students are only motivated if they get to do whatever they want.
C. Community projects help students see how lucky they are which fosters their motivation to do well in school.
D. Students will be motivated to learn if they don’t have to worry about grades.
The statement about motivation that is best supported by the selection is the following:
A. Choice and intellectual freedom inspire a sense of investment in learning.
According to the passage, at the LACS, students are motivated in a different way.Instead of worrying about grades, they are allowed to make their own choices.Since they are free to choose and to make decisions about their courses, they have the chance to reflect on their learning.By realizing learning is their own responsibility, they develop a sense of investment in it.Therefore, the best option is letter A. It is the only statement that mentions the choices and the freedom students experience at the LACS.Learn more about the topic here:

why don't you think so?
Answer:
I think that the Holocaust couldn't happen in the U.S because the holocaust started in 1941 and the U.S and Germany were close allies and partners outside of the European Union. The people of the two countries see each other as reliable allies but disagree on some key policy issues. Either way, it wouldn't happen or it will start a war.
