4. On pages 23 and 24, Katie says:

“Last night I dreamed of a big wave, like this sculpture I saw a couple of years ago at the Rodin Museum when we took a trip to Paris for my parents’ 15th anniversary.”

“Back upstairs, I take out a photo of me and my parents in Paris. I stuck it under my mattress when the glass in the frame broke in the earthquake.”

“. . . a row of sharpened pencils, a stapler, a ruler, a silver Eiffel Tower paperweight she bought from a souvenir shop in Paris.”


Why does Katie mention Paris so often? What do you think it represents to her?

Answer: not exact, but the reason why Katie mentions Paris so often is probably where she was born. What it means to her may be family or culture.

Explanation:

I don’t know this story very well, but writers commonly use repetition to get a point out there. for example: in Danganronpa V3, Kokichi *constantly* lies, and everyone knows that. repetition can make the fact that he is a liar more clearer. with more analyzation, it could also get Kokichi’s view out there, especially HIS view on lying.

Apply this to Katie, she mentions Paris a lot. she talks about her family and certain events too, she even have souvenirs. We can infer that her parents were born in Paris, or that she was born there as well. What this means to her is that Paris symbolizes family to her.

This is just my interpretation though!

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!”
