8.Social isolation and its impact on language communities

Social isolation harms language communities by making communication harder and stopping languages from being passed down. Minority languages are especially at risk, as isolation prevents younger generations from learning them, leading to language loss and cultural disappearance.

In isolated areas, new dialects may form, but this can also cause communication issues. Reduced interaction often leads to language loss, especially when a dominant language takes over.

Isolation weakens cultural identity, as language connects people to their roots. To help, we need projects, bilingual education, and technology to preserve endangered languages. Supporting linguistic diversity protects both languages and culture.

9. The meaning of colors in the novel of Fitzgerald.

In The Great Gatsby, colors show the characters’ dreams and the novel’s deeper message. The green light on Daisy’s dock represents Gatsby’s impossible dream of getting back his lost love and happiness. Daisy’s white dresses and world seem pure but actually reveal her selfishness and emptiness. Yellow and gold, seen in Gatsby’s car and parties, represent the appeal of wealth, but also suggest corruption, as Gatsby’s yellow car leads to Myrtle’s death. The gray Valley of Ashes shows the sadness of those left behind by the wealthier characters. Gatsby’s pink suit shows his hope for romance and his awkwardness, making him stand out. Fitzgerald uses these colors to show how dreams can be beautiful, but often end in disappointment.

10. Fitzgerald's sensory oriented imagery (sight, taste, touch, smell, sound).

In The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald uses sensory imagery, especially colors, to make the story more vivid and meaningful. Colors like green, yellow, red, and white have strong meanings throughout the novel.

The green light represents hope, dreams, and the struggle to reach them. It appears throughout the book, connecting the story and its themes. Yellow symbolizes wealth, high society, and lies, seen in Gatsby’s car, Jordan’s hair, and the dresses of rich women. Red stands for war, danger, sin, and passion, while white, connected to Daisy, suggests innocence but hides her selfishness and emptiness.

The eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckleburg on a billboard symbolize the loss of moral and spiritual values in America, watching over characters as they act with corruption and betrayal.

Fitzgerald uses detailed imagery and colors to create a dreamlike atmosphere and bring the characters and settings to life.

11. A self-made man.

Jay Gatsby, born James Gatz, rises from poverty in the Midwest to wealth through ambition and hard work. Inspired by Dan Cody, a rich adventurer, Gatsby learns about luxury and the drive to succeed. Though he doesn't inherit Cody's money, he builds his fortune during Prohibition through questionable business deals.

Gatsby buys a mansion and throws extravagant parties to win back Daisy, the love he lost when he was poor. However, despite his wealth, he remains an outsider to the old-money elite, including Daisy's husband, Tom. In the end, Gatsby's dream of reclaiming Daisy leads to heartbreak and tragedy.

Gatsby's story shows that being self-made doesn't guarantee acceptance or happiness. Social barriers and the past can't always be overcome, and in a world focused on status, even great success may not earn respect.
