why does Dexter suddenly see his winter dreams as an illusion?
Why can he no longer treasure even his memories of Judy Jones?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

These questions are about Dexter Green and Judy Jones from the short story "Winter Dreams", by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

When 14-year-old Dexter Green saw 10-year-old Judy Jones throwing a tantrum, he realized he wanted to be as rich as she was. For some reason, Judy's spoiled personality attracted Dexter, and she became the symbol of his ideal. Dexter romanticized life, all because of Judy. He thought beauty and wealth would bring him the happiness he imagined the beautiful and the wealthy to have. Even as adults, as he and Judy date, he does not realize her life is nothing like the golden ideal he has created. Judy is irritable and bored, toying with several men - including Dexter - just to have some fun.

Why does Dexter suddenly see his winter dreams as an illusion?

An older Dexter, who has indeed accomplished everything he wanted, finds out through a friend that Judy is now married to an awful husband. She is no longer admired for her beauty, and everyone seems to know she leads an unhappy life. This news makes Dexter realize his dreams were nothing but an illusion. Judy is as real as everything else. There is nothing glamorous about her anymore. And if Judy is unhappy and ordinary, the whole world is unhappy and ordinary.

Why can he no longer treasure even his memories of Judy Jones?

Since Judy is no longer the same, she can no longer represent what she once did. Dexter has also changed and, for that reason, cannot even look back at their memories together the same way. Remembering Judy used to give him strength, motivation to keep on pursuing his dreams. Now that the fantasy is shattered, there is no way of bringing back that feeling. Dexter simply doesn't care anymore:

"Long ago," he said, "long ago, there was something in me, but now that thing is gone. Now that thing is gone, that thing is gone. I cannot cry. I cannot care. That thing will come back no more."

1. The poor horse was very melancholy, and wandered up and down in the wood, seeking some little shelter from the cold wind and rain. Presently a fox met him: "What’s the matter, my friend?" said he. "Why do you hang down your head and look so lonely and woe-begone?" "Ah!" replied the horse, "justice and avarice never dwell in one house; my master has forgotten all that I have done for him so many years, and because I can no longer work he has turned me adrift and says unless I become stronger than a lion he will not take me back again; what chance can I have of that? He knows I have none, or he would not talk so.

which inference can be made about the farmer in this text

3. the___ (a. plot, b theme, c characterizations) different from the main events in a story because it is ___.( a stated directly, b not stated directly) ​

Answers

1. The idea that "justice and avarice never dwell in one house" is stated explicitly in the text- the idea that there is never a balance, you can never have one and the other.

2. From this text, the reader can infer that the farmer is avaricious, since the horse was obviously not treated justly and they made the claim that the farmer is not just AND avaricious. The farmer got rid of the horse because they no longer served a purpose.

3. b) theme and b) not stated directly

Hope this helps!

1. The idea that can be gotten here is the fact that things can be forgotten or become useless to us when they can no longer fulfill their purpose.

2. The inference that can be made about the master is that he is an unfair and cruel person.

3. The theme is different from the main events in a story because it is not stated directly.

The Idea of the story

The idea of the story is that everything has a purpose and the horse has stopped meeting with its purpose so the farmer had to do away with it.

The inference that can be made

The inference about the master is that he is cruel and not one to consider a person's past good deeds.

Are you in favour of living wage? Why or why not? Explain

Answers

Answer:

As far as I know, living wage means the minimum income necessary for a worker to meet his/hers needs.

I am not in favor of this because it means that there's no extra. People work for money because they need to take care of themselves, they use the money for food, clothes, bills, etc. But people also use the money they earn from things such as entertainment purposes to medical needs. If you were to take that away from a person they would lose the motivation to work as hard or as well.

With her advantage of more than two years and the earlier maturity of girls, my sister moved before me into that country of mysterious differences where children grow up. And although we naturally continued to live in the same house, she seemed to have gone on a journey while she remained in sight. --Tennessee Williams, "The Resemblance Between a Violin Case and a Coffin" This story is probably about: a taxi driver in the city who wants to buy a farm. a brother's relationship with his older sister. a family moving to a new home in Utah. a woman who loses her memory.

Answers

Answer:

This story is probably about:

B. a brother's relationship with his older sister.

Explanation:

Even without searching for this story, we can make inferences from the excerpt. The narrator is focused on his sister, and the fact that there is something different about her now. Unlike him, she is becoming more mature, which means there is something mysterious about her now. The brother also seems to feel left behind, precisely because of all the mystery surrounding her.

In fact, that is what this story is about. The narrator is Tom, who watches as his sister grows up, which makes them grow apart. She no longer plays with him outside, but practices playing the piano instead. She changes physically and emotionally. Therefore, the best option for this question is letter B. a brother's relationship with his older sister.

Bethia's essay about suburbs starts off with this passage.
Some people love the city, and some people love small towns. For others, nothing will do but a piece of land far out in the country. But in my opinion,
the suburb is underrated as a great place to live.
Which could Bethia use as a supporting point for her main argument?
Suburbs combine the best of both city and country living.
Trains allow workers to live in the suburbs but work in the city.
A well-designed suburb includes bicycle paths and footpaths.
Many cities are surrounded by independent, self-governing suburbs.

Answers

Answer:

Option A, Suburbs combine the best of both city and country living

Explanation:

Bethia will support her statement with argument given in option B.

The argument in option A i.e Suburbs combine the best of both city and country living will best support her consent of proving that suburbs are underrated.

Suburb areas are mostly lying at the periphery of major cities at a commutable distance. These suburbs are well connected with transport services. These are cheaper than the main cities and provide a good balance of services of residential and commercial zones.
