Which sentences in this excerpt from Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Contest" suggest that the author’s tone is mocking?

2 answers:

I would say the last sentence shows mockery the best: "Many a singer far better than this absurd fop had been driven amid execration and abuse from the platform." However, there might be others as well, such as: "The low note was a grunting, a rumble, the deep discordant growling of an ill-conditioned dog."

What ways is chapter 4 of the story of my life by helen kller similar to a short story?

kkurt [141]

<span>Chapter 4 is very important to Helen Keller’s life. It explains when her teacher was first teaching her how to communicate. Without her teacher Helen probably would not have been able to communicate well or tell people what she wanted. It also demonstrated the way her teacher taught and how Helen reacted. I think that in this chapter Helen learned a little responsibly and learned from her actions. I think that it will make it easier for her because the teacher is helping her learn in ways that no one not even her family and friends could. I think that the teaching will also help her conquer great things in other parts of the book as well because she can be taught she just has to focus. Maybe she will get even closer to her family because of what happened. She learned in this chapter how to match words with what they were. I think this will also help her later in the book. One thing that stuck with me is after learning how to spell doll in the palm of her hand she went to show her mother. This shows that she probably had a good relationship with her mom and she cared what she thought about her. This chapter also showed that people underestimated Helen’s ability’s to learn and communicate with others. I do not think that this will be the most important chapter of the book because so many other great things could happen to her throughout the book. It might very well be the most important but I’m just not quite sure about that. I do have to say this may be one of the most important parts. I do think that the most important chapter will be coming along in the book soon because what happened in this one.</span>
