Which line from The Importance of Being Earnest best makes this point? “Where did the charitable gentleman who had a first-class

ticket for this seaside resort find you?” “Yes, Lady Bracknell. I was in a hand-bag—a somewhat large, black leather hand-bag, with handles to it—an ordinary hand-bag in fact.” “To be born, or at any rate bred, in a hand-bag, whether it had handles or not, seems to me to display a contempt for the ordinary decencies of family life . . .” “May I ask you then what you would advise me to do? I need hardly say I would do anything in the world to ensure Gwendolen’s happiness.”

If you are referring to this point: Oscar Wilde uses humor to critique society and show that there is too much concern about coming from a proper family.

I believe the correct answer is: “To be born, or at any rate bred, in a hand-bag, whether it had handles or not, seems to me to display a contempt for the ordinary decencies of family life . . .”

 

     In his dramatic work “The Importance of Being Earnest”, Oscar Wild often uses irony and humor to critique the norms and “moral” of the society in Victorian era. One of the examples for that is this line:

“To be born, or at any rate bred, in a hand-bag, whether it had handles or not, seems to me to display a contempt for the ordinary decencies of family life . . .”

     As it shows the needless concern of the type of the bag Ernest was found in, but which indicate the wealth of the family to Lady Bracknell. Ernest states that there is no contempt for the ordinary decencies of family life when you are born in a hand-bag, no matter if it was large, black leather hand-bag, with handles to it or not.

"Sara Sees Red" and the excerpt from Stone Fox are both adventure stories. What major challenge does the main character in each
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The two stories, Stone Fox and Sara Sees are different due to some of the reasons below;

in stone fox, Willy who is the main act; when Willy became a part of the race, coupled with the fact that at first, no one was willing to give him the encouragement he needed, still, he was completely focused, dedication and he gave his utmost determination to finish the race.

In the middle of the race, he sighted his father among the crowd cheering and waving at him not to give up and moved on with the race.

Same can not be said for the main act of Sara Sees.

Sara was the main act of Sara Sees.

Unlike Willy who tries to succeed in spite of the obstacles in front of him, Sara made an attempt to flee the obvious reality in front of her. She tried to hide from her problem.

She learnt her lesson when she came across a woman who despite the pain and difficulties, she was going through, she tried to offer help to someone.
