Rationale: A diary entry in Daisy Buchanan’s point of view to showcase the conflicts she faced For our IB Language and Literature English SL class, we have read through and explored various characters, key themes and symbols in The Great Gatsby. I have chosen to present my written task in a diary entry in Daisy’s point of view as I have always been interested in Daisy as a person and character. Throughout the novel, we, the readers, never truly knew what she wanted or knew what she was thinking. There was no clear signs of that as she was always in conflict with herself from the start of the book to the end. Every action she did seemed like it contradicted the previous one, similar to the narrator of the novel, Nick Carraway. There are numerous paths I could take with writing a diary entry from her point of view. The reason why I chose a diary entry was because this way, you can truly see her thoughts and feelings, the recount of events directly from her perspective. The intended purpose of my diary entry is to inform the audience, which are young, affluent Americans in the middle-class society, about the struggles and experiences that Daisy went through being the character she is. Being one of the main characters in the book, she caught the reader’s eye as a gold digger. However, I believe she was just a product of the corruption of materialism, especially in her parent’s part. Word count: 233

Identify the type of narration used in the excerpt.which words in the excerpt indicate the type of narration?

Select the correct text in the passage. which sentence in this excerpt from abraham lincoln's second inaugural address conveys that he wanted the us civil war to end as soon as possible? neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with or even before the conflict itself should cease. each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. both read the same bible and pray to the same god, and each invokes his aid against the other. it may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just inging their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged. the prayers of both could not be answered. that of neither has been answered fully. the almighty has his own purposes. "woe unto the world because of offenses, for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh" if we shall suppose that american slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of god, must needs come, but which, having continued through his appointed time, he now wills to remove, and that he gives to both north and south this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living god always ascribe to him? fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. yet, if god wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the lord are true and righteous altogether." reset next
