Why does Tom’s comment towards Nick involving bond man “annoy him”?
hope this helps you
‘Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone,’ he told me, ‘just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.’”
—Nick Carraway, The Great Gatsby
F is for F. Scott Fitzgerald, author of Gatsby and master of human insight wrapped in poetry. His novel begins here, his narrator Nick Carraway, grappling with his father’s caution of criticism—
“All the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.”
In short, people judge, and Nick tries to refrain because his father said so. I think about Nick’s words and my life. I remember how often my mother would stop herself mid-criticism and say, “I’m not going to say that. It wasn’t very nice.” Then Philippians 4:8 comes to mind about thinking on excellent, praiseworthy things.
Speaking of excellence and praise, what about this one for its sheer lyricism? “It was dawn now on Long Island and we went about opening the rest of the windows downstairs, filling the house with grey turning, gold turning light. The shadow of a tree fell abruptly across the dew and ghostly birds began to sing among the blue leaves. There was a slow pleasant movement in the air, scarcely a wind, promising a cool lovely day.”
Answer:
"What you doing, Nick?"
"I'm a bond man."
"Who with?"
I told him.
"Never heard of them," he remarked decisively.

that the speaker cares little about the younger ones. It is clear that a 3 years different is more than enough for the speaker to see himself as superior and as an adult, even though such a difference might actually nothing depending on the context. Also, the words "vastly inferior" leave a very bad connotation.

c)character
d) narration
Answer:
b) Purpose.
Explanation:
Autobiographies are those literary works that are written by a person about himself/ herself. They are written in such a way that it depicts the life of that person, written from his/ her own point of view. This personal account of his/ her own life makes it a point to be taken seriously, without the need to validate if the facts are true or not.
In writing autobiographies, there can be many points to consider. But the most important one is to see what the purpose of the written text is about. There can be any point of view from the author himself/ herself, even the characters can be flawed and the narration changed anytime however he/she wants. But what makes autobiographies legit is the purpose of the book. They should serve as an insight through which the readers can know more about the author. It should also be an important source of inspiration or even a source through which we can know the true character of the author.
