I can only answer the 1st question.
Both men in these stories faced peer pressure. They were pressured to go against their own beliefs in order to satisfy society's demands.
<span>“No Witchcraft for Sale.” - In this story, Gideon did not bow down to peer pressure. He kept silent and gave the impression of succumbing to the pressure given to him but doing what he wanted to really do. He gave the wrong root to satisfy the demands of the public. He also signified his displeasure by being more formal to his employers and for keeping his silence.
"</span><span>“Shooting an Elephant” - In this story, the police man gave in to the pressure of shooting the elephant not because it is a legal thing to do but because of self-preservation. He doesn't want to appear as a fool to the public that detests him. He preferred to be hailed as the one who shot the elephant than be further jeered as the one who did not shoot the elephant.
Both men did what they did to serve their own purpose. Gideon's way was sticking to his values while the police man sacrificed his own values to ensure an acceptable place in the community he lives in. </span>
A. Adventurous, the passage was showing adventurous.
The biggest Character Tool Fitzgerald uses with Jay Gatsby in The Great Gatsby is Speech. <span>Gatsby's effort to sound well-educated For the most part, characters in </span>The Great Gatsby<span> are well-educated. Their speech and dialogue reflect this education, which in turn reflects their wealth and social status. The narrator takes note, however, of Gatsby's affected speech, speech of "elaborate formalities" that borders on "absurd." It is clear to him that Gatsby must </span>practice<span> to sound educated and wealthy - he must practice at being a part of Daisy's world. The fact that Nick isn't fooled would suggest that others, too, are not so taken in by Jay's efforts. His transformation to a man of high society is incomplete at best, and failed at worst.
</span>Hope this helps. and Good Luck to you <3
