C. By adding a disclaimer at the beginning of the show</span>
Because the topic of alien invasion was a hot topic around
the time _War of the Worlds_ came out, it was very possible and very plausible that
those listening to the radio program would, in fact, believe what they were
listening to were real-life events and not a science-fiction piece. As such, at the beginning of the radio
program, there was a disclaimer that preceded the show that informed listeners
that what they were about to hear was not real.
However, those who happened to tune in late and happened to miss the
disclaimer, and many believed that what they were listening to was actually
happening.
There are three types of irony, verbal, situational, and dramatic. Verbal irony is the use of words to mean something different than what the person says. Situational irony is when something different happens than what is expected. Lastly, dramatic irony is when is when the audience is aware of something the characters are not.
In the story "Harrison Bergeron," Vonnegut employs dramatic irony. The audience is aware that Harrison was murdered by the government, but the characters although they witnessed it, cannot recall mere moments later that their own son was murdered. He was murdered for rejecting the government and their control over trying to make everyone equal and the same mechanisms caused his own parents to forget him.
Answer:
The author helps us to understand how in the early 1800s the central US region was still adapting to the government and the new federalist structure that was being established.
Explanation:
The author shows that the changes in the regions that were no longer a colony, to become a federal state, needed a lot of adaptation and patience, but that the cooperation of individuals and the perseverance of great political names, such as Thomas Jefferson and others, was efficient. This adaptation to federalism allowed the regions to be gradually strengthened, but managed to achieve stability and effectiveness.
The extended simile in the passage is: As when a circling wall the builder forms, Of strength defensive against wind and storms, Compacted stones the thickening work compose, and round him wide the rising structure grows.
A simile is a figure of speech that compares one thing from another thing of a different kind. It adds meaning to the text because it emphasizes the:
a. Strength of the wall - which is likened to being a barrier that can be used as protection from wind and storms.
b. Size of the structure - which was built with hours of hard work and construction materials that can withstand such great forces of war.
