Why do words get added to dictionaries?

Answers

Answer 1

Explanation:

The answer is simple: The word gets used. When deciding what new words or phrases to include in an updated version of the dictionary (and how to define each), editors study language in use, including which words and phrases people use most often and how they use them.

Read chapter 4 of The Great Gatsby and answer the following questions:
(Please refer from copying from any website, the assignments get checked for plagiarism. Try to paraphrase as much as possible, if anything.)

a. What kind of person is Nick Carraway?

b. How might Nick’s narration change the way you as a reader view the other characters?

c. Is Nick Carraway a reliable narrator?

d. What does Daisy teach Nick Carraway about himself?

e. Why does Nick say, “There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy, and the tired?”

Answers

Answer:

a. The novel's narrator, Nick is a young man from Minnesota who, after being educated at Yale and fighting in World War I, goes to New York City to learn the bond business. Honest, tolerant, and inclined to reserve judgment, Nick often serves as a confidant for those with troubling secrets.

b. Nick not only tells the readers what has happened but continually suggests how they should feel about what is happening. He does this mainly by expressing how he feels himself. This seems to be Fitzgerald's main reason for using Nick as a minor-character narrator.

c. The majority position is the traditional one: Nick is considered quite reliable, basically honest, and ultimately changed by his contact with Gatsby. The critical controversy merits a brief return to the text as our final understanding of Gatsby is almost entirely dependent upon the reliability of Caraway's narration.

d.  In The Great Gatsby, Daisy tells Nick that she hopes her daughter will grow up to be a beautiful fool: I hope she'll be a fool--that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.
