Using chapters 1-4, find evidence of Gatsby’s profession. Each clue/hint should be a direct quote with a page number. you will then make a prediction as to what his occupation is. Have 8 hints!

Answer:

Jay Gatsby is possibly one of the greatest tragic heroes in American Literature. His devotion to Daisy paired with his desire to “greenlight” his own future and become a member of 1920’s high society is what drives him to become, as the title suggests, “Great.” Students who read the novel will identify with Gatsby’s romantic side, hoping against hope that he will once again win Daisy’s love, even as they despise Tom for his affair with Myrtle. They will see Tom, he of the inherited wealth, the beautiful wife, and the place in society as the novel’s antagonist, and the dirt poor, unmarried, bootlegging and stock market-fixing Gatsby as our hero. There is no doubt that Gatsby is the hero of Fitzgerald’s classic novel. However, students do need a better understanding of just how this man earned his ill-gotten gains and furthermore, how he would have earned them today.

The Mystery of Loch Ness
By Kayden Mitchell

Of all the mysteries in the world, none has been as popular as that of the Loch Ness Monster. Perhaps the biggest mystery is whether it is convincing evidence or a simple desire to believe that keeps the myth alive.

Loch Ness is a lake in Scotland. The loch, or lake, is known for sightings of a mysterious monster. Most who see this monster, known as Nessie, describe something with a long neck and several humps above the water. Sometimes the "monster" is moving in these sightings, and sometimes it is still. Many have suggested that Nessie might be a plesiosaur (plea-see-a-soar), an aquatic dinosaur that was trapped in the loch after the last ice age.

The plesiosaur theory presents several problems. First, the plesiosaur is an air breather. Such a creature would need to surface often and, therefore, be seen more frequently. Second, it's unlikely that the same creature has lived in the loch since the last ice age. Today's creature would have to be the offspring of an original plesiosaur trapped long ago. This would suggest multiple creatures in the loch (needed to produce offspring). Again, sightings would be more frequent if this were the case.

So from a purely logical stand point, the existence of such a large and ancient creature is unlikely. But assume for a minute that it is possible. What would a plesiosaur need to live in an enclosed lake?


Tropical waters: Scientists believe plesiosaurs were warm-blooded. Like crocodiles and alligators, plesiosaurs would need to live in warm waters. The loch is very cold with temperatures averaging about 40 degrees Fahrenheit (4.4 Celsius).
Food: Like other warm-blooded creatures, plesiosaurs would need a large quantity of food. If there is a group of Nessies, then even more food would be needed. Because the loch is full of silt (underwater dust) not much light gets into the deepest areas. So the food chain, which would depend on plankton, is very weak at its base. As a result, there is probably not enough food to support such a large creature.


However, the plesiosaur theory is not the only one. Many other ideas attempt to explain the sightings and "photographs." But two separate sonar surveys of the loch have not found any evidence of a creature larger than a salmon. The last survey1, completed in 2007 by the British Broadcasting Company (BBC), involved 600 different sonar beams. Using satellite navigation systems, the team made sure every inch of the loch was searched. The team found nothing.

With cell phones and digital cameras, one would think that sightings of Nessie would increase. This has not happened. The BBC team believes the legend of Nessie has endured because people see what they want to see. To prove this, the team used a fence post, raising it before groups of tourists. Afterwards several of the tourists asked to draw pictures of what they had seen drew pictures of a monster's head.

Robin had done it. After four years of toiling day and night, he was finally going to walk down the stage, shake hands with the president, and get his Engineering diploma. As he sat among the crowd, his heart beamed with joy. Robin was already dreaming of the perfect job he had to find and the adventurous life he was to live. It will be like a dream.

I wrote a research essay about clothing during the civil war, and this is my conclusion:

"Obviously, we do not look outside today and see women wearing 15 foot skirts, men with tailcoats, or young children in calico dresses. But like much of fashion today, these were prevalent during the current time period. Trends die, and popular fashions of the decade fade away. In another 20 years, the clothes we wear everyday will be considered old fashioned. "

SO I JUST NEED SOMEONE TO HELP ME FINISH IT, LIKE A FINAL SENTENCE. YOU DO NOT NEED TO WRITE ANYTHING LONG.

Some of the pickiest eaters will gladly eat vegetables. That is, as long as those vegetables are potatoes. Chips and french fries are made by cooking potatoes in oil. These foods can be unhealthful. Some nutrition experts want potatoes removed from government food programs. They also want to limit the use of potatoes in school lunches. Kids would be allowed only one cup of starchy vegetables each week. Potato growers are worried. They do not want people to think that potatoes are bad. Potatoes can be healthful when prepared in other ways.

Potato growers and nutritionists _________.
