how to use thinning shears

The Thinning is purely fictional. It was made up by the writers and doesn't draw from real events or people. It's all about imagining a particular fictional scenario.

No, it's not. The Thinning is a fictional creation with no basis in real events.

The 'thinning' might refer to the streamlining of the story. It could make the plot more focused on the main relationships, like Gatsby and Daisy's. This would intensify the emotional drama between them.

I don't think so. Throughout the story, we only know her as Mrs Shears. There's no indication of her full name at all. We can only guess what her first name might be, but the author didn't provide it in the story.

I'm quite sure it wasn't. Mrs. Shears is always called just that in the story. It's possible that the focus of the story was on other aspects such as the actions, relationships, or emotions of the characters rather than on providing every character's full name. Maybe the lack of her full name is a narrative choice to keep the story flowing and not get bogged down in too much detail about a character who may not be the central focus but still an important part of the plot.

No. When we read the story, we get to know her as Mrs Shears. There's no part of the story where her full name is brought up. It could be that the author wanted to keep her identity somewhat veiled or simply that her full name was not relevant to the story's main events. Maybe the story is more about the relationships and events that surround her without the need for a full name.

No.

I don't recall it being mentioned. Maybe you should re-read the relevant parts carefully to see if you can find it.

One of the great success stories is of a woman who was diagnosed with a thyroid problem which was causing her hair to thin. Once she got the right treatment for her thyroid disorder, her hair gradually regained its normal thickness. Also, there are women who swear by regular exercise. It improves blood circulation not just in the body but also to the scalp, promoting hair growth and reducing thinning.

One key theme is the American Dream. Gatsby represents the pursuit of wealth and status in the hope of winning Daisy's love, which reflects the allure and often the hollowness of the American Dream. Another is social class. The differences between the old money (like Tom and Daisy) and the new money (Gatsby) create a lot of tension and conflict in the story.
