why did daisy try to get tom calmed down in chapter 7?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

During the encounter between Tom and Gatsby at the Plaza hotel, Daisy crumbles rapidly, backpedaling on her assertions of loving Gatsby and never having loved Tom. She says to Gatsby

"Oh, you want too much! I can't say I never loved Tom. It wouldn't be true"

Tom quickly capitalized on Daisy's wavering loyalties to reassert his control over her. He tells Gatsby that "there's things between me and Daisy that you'll never know, things neither of us will ever forget." He also goes aggressively after Gatsby's shady past and the insecure foundation his wealth is built on, knowing full well how much money matters to his wife.  Daisy most likely realizes that she is a fantasy figure to Gatsby, a representative of his desire for lost youth, wealth, and security and that his needs are insatiable and unrealistic. Her relationship with Tom may be troubled, but, as he reminds her, it's real and rooted in a shared past.

Women have more intense feelings and are more sensitive as compared to men but when it comes to mental ability, they are as compatible as men.

She talks to him harshly, but then forgives him, and takes him to buy the shoes he wanted.


Calls the police and has Roger arrested.


She takes him home, feeds him dinner, talks with him, and gives him money to buy some shoes.

Answers

Answer:

She takes him home, feeds him dinner, talks with him, and gives him money to buy some shoes.

Explanation:

Langston Hughes's short story "Thank You, Ma'am," tells the encounter of a young boy and his targeted victim. And although the young boy did not succeed in stealing anything from the woman, he still ended up getting more than he had thought he'd get.

Roger was waiting to snatch the purse of Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones but the woman's strength prevented him from succeeding in his attempt. To his surprise, Mrs. Jones did not report him to the authorities nor did she punish him. Instead, she took him home, fed him, washed him, talked with him, and then gave him ten dollars to buy "some blue suede shoes."

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
