  • Answer:

False.

  • Explanation:

A pun is not a literary work, but a rhetorical device which consists in the use of words similar in form or sound, but in different senses, close to one another in order to create an unexpected effect on the listener or reader. That is, it is an ambiguous game of words with sounds similar or alike, but with different meanings and applications. Puns are one of the rhetorical resources most used in humorous and advertising speeches.

What is the most important event that happened in chapter 8 of the book, The outsiders and why?
Rama09 [41]

Answer: The most important event in chapter eight of <u>The Outsiders</u> is Ponyboy and Randy's conversation outside of the diner. The significance of  this scene is that Randy and Ponyboy find a common ground by talking about Bob and the school children. Randy realizes that Greasers are more than just hot-headed guys who like to fight, and Pony realizes that just because the Socs are different, they are people too, just like him. They both leave with a better understanding of each other, almost like bridging a gap between the Socs and Greasers.
