  I think that the literary device used in the title of Oscar Wilde´s play is Pun.

  A pun is a play on words that produces a humorous effect by using words that suggest two or more meanigns or by exploiting similiar sounding words with different meanings.

  In the title "The Importance of Being Earnest" there is a pun in the word Earnest because it is a synonim of honest and sincere and sounds like Ernest, the firstly false name that the principal character, Jack used to have another life far away of his obligations.

  I hope that this answer help you. Greetings.

alexira [117]

Answer:

Cheating in the card game at the end of the novel presents the picture of corruption and evil in the political system. The pigs and the humans both were indulged in the same type of corruption and cheating in the card game. This exemplifies the strength of the political power. Whether it be a human or a pig, the nature of the politician changes with respect to that of the power. Mr. Pilkington and Napoleon entered a heated argument in which both of them tried to cheat in the similar way. This brings to the conclusion that both the pigs and the humans played the role of liars, manipulators and hypocrites when the question of politics and humanities were asked.

Introduction paragraph why should people not wear uniform
qwelly [4]
Answer:
Firstly, People should not wear a school uniform because they are expensive to get, due to the fact that it is custom made for that school and the students have to get it from a specific place. Secondly, your uniform has to be up to certain standards, such as ‘skirt to be just mid-calf length’; this shows that a student cannot adjust the uniform to their liking, whereas if students wear their own clothes, then they can get away with a few comfortable tricks. Thirdly, if their uniform gets ruined in any way, such as falling over and getting mud all over it, they have to go to the lost and found to wear other peoples lost uniforms; this can be avoid if the school allows pupils to bring in their own clothes as replacements; this may be only valid if the student only has one uniform because of the expensive prices. Penultimately, Wearing a uniform doesn’t allow you to express your identity through clothing because you are wearing the same uniform as everyone else. Finally, You can’t be comfortable in a uniform because it is nothing like wearing a pair of sweatpants with a hoodie.

Hope this is what you were looking for!
