At his and Myrtle’s party in their New York apartment, (an ostentatious show of Tom’s wealth), Tom responds to Myrtle’s taunts by “[breaking] her nose with his open hand” (p.39). He emerges from the…

Through her descriptive writing the view of…

they are qualified to do so. These commands include social expectations, government laws, and more. A controversial issue in today’s age is censorship.
