Which excerpt from The Great Gatsby is the best example of foreshadowing?
. . . he stretched out his arms toward the dark water in a curious way, and, far as I was from him, I could have sworn he was trembling. Involuntarily I glanced seaward — and distinguished nothing except a single green light, minute and far away, that might have been the end of a dock. When I looked once more for Gatsby he had vanished, and I was alone again in the unquiet darkness.
Of course I knew what they were referring to, but I wasn’t even vaguely engaged. The fact that gossip had published the banns was one of the reasons I had come East. You can’t stop going with an old friend on account of rumors, and on the other hand I had no intention of being rumored into marriage.
I said lightly that I had heard nothing at all, and a few minutes later I got up to go home. They came to the door with me and stood side by side in a cheerful square of light. As I started my motor Daisy peremptorily called: “Wait!”
“Her family is one aunt about a thousand years old. Besides, Nick’s going to look after her, aren’t you, Nick? She’s going to spend lots of week-ends out here this summer. I think the home influence will be very good for her.”

A participant responds to the text by saying, “The fast-food industry can give valuable work experience to teenagers.” Write three to four sentences in which you share what you would say in support of or in opposition to this. Be sure to provide evidence to support your opinion.
Answer:
Explanation:
Why I support that The fast-food industry can give valuable work experience to teenagers:
1. The fast-food industry is a fast growing industry that require little to zero experience and therefore teenagers are useful workforce for this industry.
2. With teenagers required to attend schools during the day, fast-food industry creates time for them to work after school hours.
3. Fast-food industry can accommodate a lot of these teenagers which means it is one of the best place to gain early work experience.
4. The fast-food industry creates an avenue for this teenagers to show customer relationship management while working there and this can help them in any career of their chosen.
Answer:
I agree that fast-food jobs can give work experience to teenagers. At the same time, I wonder how valuable this work experience is. In Fast Food Nation, Schlosser mentions that teenagers with these jobs are not paid well and often do not learn new skills. In addition, time on the job can take away from their focus on school.

He also told her to think as if she is talking to him and not Caesar. He advised her to "find me, and answer it as honestly as possible" whenever she was asked a personal question.

Answer:
Repetition of vowels
Explanation:
Gene sees a free green jeep parked on a tree-lined street.
The repetition of comparable vowel sounds, preceded and observed via way of means of exceptional consonants is called as assonance.
What is consonance ?
Both phrases are related to repetition—assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds and consonance is the repetition of consonant sounds—however those phrases (as they may be usually used) vary in three critical methods from the patterning of rhyme.
This is why many poets use assonance, consonance, and alliteration. The repetitive use of a vowel sound can create rhythm in a reader's thoughts and rhythm could make a line greater memorable.
