Answer:

If the question is referring to Rothman's article "The Serious Superficiality of the Great Gatsby", I believe the correct answer is C. The novel is about refusing to see reality no matter the cost.

Explanation:

According to Rothman, the novel's (and the eponymous film's) appeal stems from its flatness, seductiveness, and rejection of reality. Even though the characters are nominally seeking love and meaning, they are "desperate to give in to nearly anything—a drink, a person, a story, a feeling, a song, a crowd, an idea".

Rothman goes on to say: "'Gatsby' captures, with great vividness, the push and pull of illusion and self-delusion; the danger and thrill of forgetting, lying, and fantasizing; the hazards and the indispensability of dreaming and idealization." The underlying reality of the novel and the so-called "roaring twenties" that serve as its backdrop is grim. It's a world of deep class struggles, poverty, social climbers such as Gatsby who earned millions illegally. However, the characters in "Gatsby" are eager to sweep these unpleasant issues under the rug and cover them with parties, riches, gossip, and other superficial ways to kill time.

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

“Multicultural communication is the ability to communicate effectively with individuals of other cultures” (Tamparo 30). Developing multicultural therapeutic communication skills is very important in the modern era. Everyday we get more connected to each other; through videos and social media, we learn and understand other cultures. The most important factors are:

1. Empathy: By developing multicultural communication skills, we can show empathy to the person who is talking to us. As we know, empathy is the ability to understand and relate to the feeling of others. With it we get more connected with people.

2. Knowledge/Culture: By developing multicultural communication skills, we learn the different cultures that exists in the world. We learn how they work and affect each person. But most important we learn to respect and embrace it.

3. Approachable: In the workplace learning these skills makes a huge difference. Customer will feel more comfortable talking to you and this will create and atmosphere of comfortableness and respect between you and the other person. You will have the ability of being “likable” and everything will flow better.

In paragraph 7, what rebuttal does the author make to the claim in paragraph 6 that America is too culturally diverse to have a

Eva8 [605]

This question is about "A quilt of a country".

Answer:

C. She supports the idea that every generation of immigrants arrives with the same dreams and faces the same problems of assimilation.

Explanation:

In paragraph 7, the author shows that even if cultural diversity prevents the country from reaching a national character, it brings all immigrants together in the same story and still achieves American glomorization about overcoming difficulties.

This is because all immigrants, including those who lived in the country in remote times, came with the same dreams and goals and had the same difficulties to establish themselves and readapt to the new environment. This unites them all in a single concept, thus being able to create a national character.

nikklg [1K]

The evidence of the text that best supports the theme about the importance to have independece is this: “I must stand quite alone, if I am to understand myself and everything about me.”

Because it states two important facts about it, once is that being independent will let her know herself better and understand her feelings and emotions to make right decisions in life. The other fact is that the independence will give her a better idea of what she has so far.
