I need help finding metaphors in this text.


Gatsby's house was still empty when I left - the grass on his lawn had grown as long as mine. One
of the taxi drivers in the village never took a fare past the entrance gate without stopping for a
minute and pointing inside; perhaps it was he who drove Daisy and Gatsby over to East Egg the
night of the accident, and perhaps he had made a story about it all his own.
I didn't want to hear it and I avoided him when I got off the train. I spent my Saturday nights in
New York because those gleaming, dazzling parties of his were with me so vividly that I could still
hear the music and the laughter, faint and incessant, from his garden, and the cars going up and
down his drive. One night I did hear a material car there, and saw its lights stop at his front steps.
But I didn't investigate.
Probably it was some final guest who had been away at the ends of the earth and didn't know
that the party was over. On the last night, with my trunk packed and my car sold to the grocer, I went
over and looked at that huge incoherent failure of a house once more. On the white steps an
obscene word, scrawled by some boy with a piece of brick, stood out clearly in the moonlight and I
erased it, drawing my shoe raspingly along the stone. Then I wandered down to the beach and
sprawled out on the sand.
Most of the big shore places were closed now and there were hardly any lights except the
shadowy, moving glow of a ferryboat across the Sound. And as the moon rose higher the inessential
houses began to melt away until gradually I became aware of the old island here that flowered once
for Dutch sailors' eyes - a fresh, green breast of the new world. Its vanished trees, the trees that
had made way for Gatsby's house, had once pandered in whispers to the last and greatest of all
human dreams; for a transitory chanted moment man must have held his breath in the presence
of this continent, compelled into an aesthetic contemplation he neither understood nor desired, face
to face for the last time in history with something commensurate to his capacity for wonder.

Summer Program

“It’s a perfect beach day,” I thought on my way home from school. Good beach days were common in southern Florida, but every once in a while there was a day that made a trip to the beach a must. Little did I know, this particular day at the beach would change my summer and my life forever.

The beach was crowded with the usual groups of regulars and tourists. Off in the distance, though, I noticed a large gathering of people. Just then, Roger, a friend of my family and a police officer, came over.

I pointed to the crowd. “What’s up with them?”

“They’re looking at the sea turtle nests,” said Roger. “We posted signs last summer listing some rules for the area. Though the signs might not be enough. Just the other day we found a nest that had been disturbed—probably by onlookers. The director at the conservancy doesn’t think any hatchlings will make it out of that nest.”

“That’s awful,” I said.

“It’s actually been problem for a long time. They need all the help they can get to protect the turtles. You know, I think the Sea Turtle Conservancy has an internship program…”

Roger didn’t have to say another word. The next day, I asked my mom for permission. A week after that, I was hired as an intern; I would start working at the conservancy on the first day of summer vacation.

In my first days at the conservancy, I learned a lot about sea turtles, like their amazing instincts and adaptation—that a green sea turtle could hold its breath for as long as five hours, and could slow its heart rate to 10 beats per minute to conserve oxygen.

But I also learned that they were vulnerable. It was not only the tourists on the beaches that were threatening the survival of the sea turtles. The turtles were getting caught in the nets dropped by fishing boats. Another major threat was the bright lights of the waterfront. I learned that when baby sea turtles hatch, they are naturally attracted to the light of the horizon. Since the area near the beach had become built up over the years, the lights of hotels and restaurants sometimes caused the hatchlings to move in the wrong direction. Unable to find the ocean and the food they needed to stay alive, they would die on the beach.

That summer, I worked with willing fisherman to track migration patterns. This helped us develop better conservation plans. I also worked to alert businesses on the waterfront of the dangers that their bright lights posed to the hatchlings. I even worked with other interns to erect a wooden fence around the nesting site to keep visitors at a safe distance.

I had no idea that one day and one moment would lead me to learn so much; I also never thought that I could make a difference. But, with a little knowledge and a lot of work, we were able to do just that and ensure that the sea turtle hatchlings would be safe for generations to come.

A)to describe how a person’s mistakes can provide lessons for the future
B) to warn readers about how fishing impacts the ocean environment
C) to explain how a chance encounter can change a person’s life
D) to persuade other young people to volunteer in their communities
