Okay, so in this case, you have to compare these two characters- Harrison Bergeron and Jay Gatsby. While I have limited knowledge about Jay, I can still lead you through this. Now we need to find ways that these two characters are similar, different, how they would interact with each other, and what would happen if they were in modern times. Now, this may seem like a lot, but we can make this work. Harrison is from the future, while Jay is from the past, which is a good difference. What about their personalities? What can you find that is similar? How do they act in certain situations? If you can provide a simple answer to some of these, I can help guide you through it in comments below.

Two examples of code-switching are when Tan speaks "incorrect" or "broken" English to her mom in the first personal anecdote (when she tells her mom not to buy something), and when Tan realizes that the English she's using for a literary event is strange to use in front of her mother.
This code-switching reflects Tan's complex upbringing and Asian-American background, because, unlike many people who don't come from immigrant families or who don't speak several languages, she was acutely aware of certain sociolinguistic systems from an early age. For example, although Tan's mother's English makes sense to her, Tan would have to talk for her mother in several situations in order to be understood, to be taken more seriously, or even to be treated fairly.
Favorable - "At this propitious time of public distress did Tom Walker set up as a usurer in Boston."
Conciliatory - "He was sulky, however, and would not come to terms: she was to go again with a propitiatory offering, but what it was she forbore to say."
Dangerous - "Tom had long been picking his way through this treacherous forest; stepping from tuft to tuft of rushes and roots, which afforded precarious footholds among deep sloughs."
Bleak - "It was a dreary memento <span>struggle that had taken place in this last foothold of the Indian warriors. </span> memento of the fierce struggle that had taken place in this last foothold of the Indian warriors."
