Answer:

A. Irony.

Explanation:

Kurt Vonnegut is one of the greatest writers who have exploited masterfully the genre of satire and the use of irony. A satire is a literary genre that, through irony and humor criticizes a societal problem aiming at advancing a more just or balanced solution. Irony is a literary device that, in broad terms, shows you on the surface of things, an appearance of what seems to be the case, when in reality, in a deeper sense, the actual case is something profoundly different. In this story in particular, Vonnegut presents us with an anti-hero of sorts, who rebels against mandatory social equality and in so doing, ironically, Vonnegut shows us the importance of social and personal differences in relation to the construction of any community.

"On the Grasshopper and Cricket" is a poem by English author John Keats, one of the most prominent in the second generation of Romantic poets. Keats died at a very young age - he was only 25 when tuberculosis took his life.

<u>The poem praises the beauty of nature by focusing on two specific insects: the grasshopper and the cricket. The speaker is fascinated by the way they both sing when nature goes silent. The grasshopper is a symbol of summer, while the cricket is a symbol of winter. They are the ones who keep "the poetry of earth" alive when it is either too hot or too cold for any other animals to move or make any noise.</u>

Why is criticizing others usually NOT effective in helping them change?
solniwko [45]

Answer:

<em>When you criticize someone, you put them in the spotlight. Most people don't take criticism right, so they might think of all their flaws, rather than the problem then. Most people become self conscious as well, due to criticism. Because of this, people might think that they aren't good enough of that they'll never be perfect. Criticizing only adds fuel to the fire.</em>

<em>Hope this helps.</em>
