English

Julli [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The author uses irony to contribute to the story's meaning by showing that since Richard was to smart he had to die for a high score on the test and in real life if you a good score you would be rewarded. "We regret to inform you that his intelligence quotient is above the Government regulation." This shows that he was to smart for the government and and to die for it. "I get good marks in school." This shows that Richard thought that his good grades would help him on the government exam, and they did but since he did good, he was killed.

What is the chatter of olates and banging of doors speach​
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

I believe what your talking about is personification.

Explanation:

This is when the author makes things that can't talk or move do just that. For example, fallen leaves jumped and twirled across the lawn. This is personification because leaves can't jump or twirl.
