Given the color theory we read for The Great Gatsby, ALL of the following answers are reasonable explanations for why Fitzgerald had Judy Jones in a gold dress EXCEPT - Gold is the color of trophies, which is how everyone, including Judy Jones, sees her - Gold is the color of false idols, which is what Judy Jones is for Dexter Green - Gold symbolizes wealth and status, and since Dexter has already acquired wealth, he just needs Judy Jones to give him the status he had always craved. - Gold is the color of mystery and fear. Fitzgerald was offering a warning to the reader that Judy Jones was nothing but trouble to Dexter

Gold is the color of mystery and fear. Fitzgerald was offering a warning to the reader that Judy Jones was nothing but trouble to Dexter

Given the color theory we read for The Great Gatsby, Dexter Green was probably named "Green" for ALL the following reasons EXCEPT - He is "new". He recognizes that he is better than the children of the wealthy, but he wishes his better-ness and new-ness didn't also come with the status of being an outsider - He is innocent and pure. Unlike the other characters, he does not give in to his deepest passions and desires. Instead, he remains true to his ideals of how a good man should act. - He is envious towards the wealthy patrons at the golf course, particularly at the beginning of the story. - Particularly at the beginning of the story, he is hopeful for a brighter future for himself.

He is innocent and pure. Unlike the other characters, he does not give in to his deepest passions and desires. Instead, he remains true to his ideals of how a good man should act.

"I make a pact with you, Walt Whitman" by Ezra Pound

Pound once viewed Whitman as his creative antithesis, but has since matured. He describes Whitman as a paternal figure, admitting that his previous behavior has been "pig-headed." Now, he is a "grown child," and his views have appropriately evolved. By comparing Whitman to a father figure, Pound insinuates that he felt intimidated by Whitman's success. He insinuates that Whitman paved the way simply by finding this new wood and offering it to the world; now it is Pound's turn to craft the raw material into refined artistic masterpieces.

Ernest Hemingway is famous for which literary idea (which can be seen in "Hills Like White Elephants")? - The iceberg theory, which is the idea that perfect stories convey far more through subtext than the actual words written on the page. The more a writer trips away, the more powerful the "iceberg", or story,becomes. - Transcendentalism, which is when the idealistic philosophical and social movement which taught that divinity pervades all nature and humanity - Romanticism, which is a movement in the arts and literature that emphasized inspiration, subjectivity, and the primacy of the individual. - Allegories, which are stories, poems, or pictures that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning typically a moral or political one.

The iceberg theory, which is the idea that perfect stories convey far more through subtext than the actual words written on the page. The more a writer trips away, the more powerful the "iceberg", or story,becomes.

The setting in "Hills Like White Elephants" is symbolic of all the following except: - The white hills are symbolic of the American not planning for but ultimately wanting the baby - The contrasting barren hills and lush landscape are symbolic of the choice the girl must make between having the abortion and keeping the baby - The train station and the impeding train ride is symbolic of the limited time the girl has to make between being with the American and having/taking care of the baby - The foreign country is symbolic of the girl's helplessness and reliance on the American

The white hills are symbolic of the American not planning for but ultimately wanting the baby (Not sure if this is right)

"A Clean, Well-Lighted Place" by Ernest Hemingway

There is no plot, so Hemingway enables us to focus absolutely on the story's meaning — that is, in a world characterized by nothingness, what possible action could take place? Likewise, that no character has a name and that there is no characterization emphasize the sterility of this world. What then is the theme of this story? Nothing, or nothingness. This is exactly what the story is about: nothingness and the steps we take against it.
