1920s. It tells the story of Jay Gatsby, a wealthy and mysterious man who
throws extravagant parties in the hope of rekindling a lost love with Daisy
Buchanan, a married woman. The book explores themes of the American
Dream, love, wealth, and the moral decay of society during the Jazz Age.

an unrealistic image of her. Daisy's marriage to Tom Buchanan is troubled with cheating and a
focus on money. Tom has an affair, and Daisy isn't sure about her feelings for Gatsby. The
characters' relationships reveal the emptiness and disappointment of the 1920s, where love
and marriage often revolve around money and social status, rather than true emotional
connections.

advantage of others. He doesn't actually eat people, but he uses their weaknesses for his own
benefit. He tricks, uses, and controls those around him to get what he wants. His actions show
that he's like a predator, using the fears and insecurities of people to his advantage.

Daisy Buchanan, a woman from his past, and he really wants to be with her again. People
think he's charming and mysterious but hard to understand. Gatsby's life is full of secrets,
and he's always chasing the American Dream, which, for him, means becoming wealthy and
reuniting with Daisy. He shows both the excitement and the emptiness of the 1920s.

2. Write a short note on the valley of ashes.

The Valley of Ashes is a sad and empty place in F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby." It's
between the fancy neighborhoods of East Egg and West Egg on Long Island. This area is
known for its gray, dusty landscape, caused by industrial waste being dumped there. It shows
how society was becoming morally and socially worse because of the chase for money and
the bad things that came with it. The Valley of Ashes is very different from the rich and fancy
East and West Egg areas, and it shows how unfair and empty the world was during the Jazz
Age.

4. Discuss character of Nataraj.

Nataraj is the main character in R.K. Narayan's book "The Man-Eater of Malgudi." He's a kind
printer who enjoys books and has a small print shop in the town of Malgudi. Nataraj likes a
quiet life, but things get chaotic when Vasu, a taxidermist, disrupts his routine. Nataraj's
character shows the clash between old and new ways in the story. He represents the
traditional, while Vasu represents big changes. Nataraj changes as he deals with Vasu's
challenges, and that's important for the book's themes.

Vasu from "The Man-Eater of Malgudi" and the mythological character Vamana are quite
different, but there's a similarity in how they cause disruptions. Vasu, in the book, disturbs
the peaceful life of Nataraj, the main character, with his imposing and troublesome behavior.
Vamana, in mythology, disrupts the balance of power by changing his size to defeat a demon
king.

While they're not exactly the same, both characters can be seen as troublemakers, even
though their situations are different – Vasu disturbs the life of a small-town printer, and
Vamana disrupts the power of a demon king.
