English

deff fn [24]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

In "Paul's case" we see that Paul is only happy and content when he get his hands in a great amount of money he stole from the company he worked for. When he hears that his father has had to repay his debt and is coming to get him, he decides to take his own life, and rather than repenting from his choices, ironically, he can only think about all the luxuries he will miss out.

In "A Journey", we can see that the wife is so concerned about getting to her final destination that she hides her husband's death for several stations. However, after some time, she falls asleep next to his body, and when the train clerks try to wake her up upon arrival, she strikes her head against his dead husband's berth, and, ironically, dies before reaching her destination.

Describe the character of the narrator in 100 words. Cite evidence from the story to support your description. The story is Sixt
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

We can describe the character of the narrator in "Sixteen" in the following manner:

The narrator, a 16-year-old girl, is smart but still a bit naive. She knows a lot of things about fashion and famous actors. She knows what she should or should not do as a girl:

<em>"Now don't get me wrong. I mean,</em><u><em> I want you to understand from the beginning that I'm not really so dumβ</em></u><em>. I know what a girl should do and what she shouldn't. I get around. I read. I listen to the radio."</em>

However, her innocent heart still lets itself be deceived by a handsome and popular boy. She knows she is not dumβ, but she feels silly for waiting for the boy's call:

<em>"I can sit here now and forever and laugh and laugh while the tears run salty in the corners of my mouth. For all of a sudden, I know, </em><u><em>I know what the stars knew all the time - he will never, never call - never.</em></u><em>"</em>

  • "Sixteen" is a short story by author Maureen Daly (1921-2006).
  • The narrator is a 16-year-old who begins by explaining to readers that she is not that dumβ.
  • That is already a sign of her insecurity. We can already foresee that something happened which made her feel dumβ.
  • It turns out that, although she is indeed smart, she fell for a boy who promised to call and never did.
  • Of course, that is normal and happens to anyone. But the narrator feels silly for having believed him. It's as if she feels less smart for trusting her heart.
  • In conclusion, we can describe her as being smart but naive. The narrator is definitely not a silly girl - she is just a human being who falls in love, like everyone else.

Give the correct literary devices for the following expressions.
maksim [4K]

Answer:

1.Hyperbole

2. Metaphor

6. Simile

Explanation:

I'm not really sure of the rest but, metaphor is to say something is. Simile is like or as. Hyperbole is like an over exaggeration. It could also be verbal irony which is saying something you don't really mean, but I'm pretty sure that it's Hyperbole. The Lit Devices are: Hyperbole, Foreshadowing, Theme, Dramatic Irony, Verbal Irony, Metaphor, Simile. If you look up the meanings to those it should help. I hope I was helpful somewhat
