Which two sentences in this excerpt from F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Winter Dreams" seem to foreshadow Dexter’s future obsession with

“possessing” Judy Jones?
Now, of course, the quality and the seasonability of these winter dreams varied, but the stuff of them remained. They persuaded Dexter several years later to pass up a business course at the State university—his father, prospering now, would have paid his way—for the precarious advantage of attending an older and more famous university in the East, where he was bothered by his scanty funds. But do not get the impression, because his winter dreams happened to be concerned at first with musings on the rich, that there was anything merely snobbish in the boy. He wanted not association with glittering things and glittering people—he wanted the glittering things themselves. Often he reached out for the best without knowing why he wanted it—and sometimes he ran up against the mysterious denials and prohibitions in which life indulges.

The two sentences foreshadowing Dexter's eventual fixation on "possessing" Judy Jones are "He wanted not association with glittering things and glittering people—he wanted the glittering things themselves" and "Often he reached out for the best without knowing why he wanted it—and sometimes he ran up against the mysterious denials and prohibitions in which life indulges".

In F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Winter Dreams," the protagonist Dexter idolizes Judy as a perfect woman. Despite her selfishness, he chases after her due to his idealized perception, failing to acknowledge her imperfections. This illusion collapses when she settles into the life of a housewife.

These sentences hint at Dexter's obsession because the term "glittering things" likely symbolizes Judy, whom Dexter views as dazzling. Furthermore, the second sentence, which describes wanting things without understanding the motivation, relates to the fact that Dexter loved not Judy herself but his idealized version of femininity.

Answer: He didn't desire merely being around glamorous people and things—his craving was for the dazzling objects themselves. Frequently, he grasped for the finest things without fully understanding the reason behind his longing—and occasionally he confronted the inexplicable refusals and obstacles life presents.

hammer [2716]

Response:

Example Response: The case for utilizing social media presents a more compelling argument. The article asserts that students improve academically with social media use. It offers anecdotal examples of students employing social media for coursework discussions and backs this with empirical data indicating grade improvements in a study with social media engagement. Conversely, the opposing argument against social media is less convincing due to the absence of concrete evidence. The writer relies on parallelism to enumerate various negative impacts of social media, yet fails to substantiate these claims. Additionally, the writer commits the bandwagon fallacy by suggesting that most successful individuals refrain from using social media.

Answer:

Dear Daniel,

Chase took his own life last night. He had seemed depressed for several weeks, yet no one anticipated he would reach this tragic point. I figured you should be informed since he is your brother; however, you haven't always treated him well, often putting him down when he was striving to recover! I apologize for my tone, but perhaps if you had offered a few kind words, he might still be joining us for dinner and watching television. Instead, your harshness pushed him into a deep despair that ultimately led him to this fate. I shared with him my own past experience of struggling, and regrettably now I wish I hadn’t revealed my experiences to him.
