Which two sentences in the excerpt from F Scott Fitzgerald winter dreams seem to foreshadow Dexters feature obsession with possessing Judy Jones

Answer:

The two statements that seem to foreshadow Dexters obsession with possessing Judy Jones are:

Explanation:

"Winter Dreams" is a short story written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The story is about a young man named Dexter Green, a struggling writer, and his obsession with Judy Jones, a wealthy young woman.

The two statements from the excerpt that suggests Dexter's obsession with Judy Jones are,

"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."

In both these statements, Dexter's obsession with Judy Jones is reflected. These statements indicate that Dexter did not love Judy but was after her possession. He considered Judy Jones glittering things a thing to be possessed rather than loved. The second statement brings into light Dexter's obsession with possessing things without knowing why he wanted it, which suggests that he never loved her.

Answer:

"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."

Item 6
Read the following passage carefully before you choose your answers.

This passage is excerpted from a novel first published in 2006.

I sat watching my mum wash our clothes in a hill stream. She beat the dirt out against a smooth rock, then soaked the bruised cloth in the water, shook it out, and let it float.

I had been keeping my distance. It was my way of punishing her for having been rude to Mr. Watts. Now I thought of another way of getting at her. I took aim at the back of her head and asked her if she missed my dad. No angry look flashed over her shoulder, which is what I had expected. No. What happened was her hands became busier. So did her shoulders.

“Why do you ask, girl?”

I shrugged, but of course she didn’t see that. A new silence was about to open up between us.

“Sometimes,” she added. “Sometimes I will look up and see the jungle part, and there is your father, Matilda. And he is walking towards me.”

“And me?”

She dropped the washing and turned to me.

“And you. Yes. Your father is walking towards us both. And then I have memories.”

“Which are?”

“No blimmin’ use,” she said. “That’s what they are. But since you ask, I do remember back when the mine was open and your father was in court on a disorderly charge.”

I didn’t know any of this, and yet her tone of voice suggested my father’s misdemeanor was no worse, say, than his forgetting to bring her something home from Arawa. His court appearance was no more calamitous than an instant of forgetfulness. This is what she wished me to believe. But I didn’t. I wished she hadn’t told me. There was more.

“I remember how soft and red his face looked,” she said. “How very sorry in a pray-to-God-I-am-sorry sort of way. Well, I remember looking out the window of the courthouse. I saw an airplane draw a white line in the sky, and at the same time a coconut fell past the window. For a moment, I did not know which one to look at, eh—at that thing that was rising or the thing that was falling.”

She pushed off her knees and stood up so she could look at me.

“If you really must know, Matilda, I didn’t know if I was looking at a bad man or a man who loved me.”

I was hearing more than I wanted. This was adult talk. And because she was watching me carefully I knew she had caught up with that thought.

“I miss sea horses too,” she said more brightly. “You will never find a more wise eye anywhere than in a sea horse. This is true. I made that discovery when I was younger than you. And I discovered something about parrot fish. They stare at you in their hundreds and actually remember you from the day before and the day before that one.”

“That’s a lie.” I laughed.

“No,” she said. “It’s true.” She held her breath, and so did I, and she was the first to burst out laughing.

Now that I had met Miss Havisham, and knew more about her unhappy past, I had changed my mind about my mum being like Pip’s sister.1 She had more in common with Miss Havisham—Miss Havisham who cannot move on from the day of her greatest disappointment. On the clock, the exact hour and minute that the bridegroom failed to show. The wedding feast untouched, left for the cobwebs to mark time.

Miss Havisham remains in her wedding gown for an event that has been and gone. I had an idea my mum was stuck in a similar moment. Only it had to do with an argument with my dad. Her frown gave her away. A frown that could be traced back to the original moment. I had an idea that whatever my dad had said still rang in her ears.

A fantasizes about escaping her boring day-to-day existence
