The interaction between George and Hazel develop Kurt Vonnegut's social criticism by:

D. Showing how technology can dehumanize and desensitize people.

Vonnegut shows an scene in which Hazel is crying about "something real sad on television" however she can't remember exactly why she is crying. Finally, George advices her to forget about it to what she replies that she always does. In other words, technology, in this case TV, can make one feel instantaneously sad however one aims to forget it and move on. Therefore, technology is dehumanizing people by creating instantaneous moments of sadness that one quickly forgets.

Four comparisons of Horatian and Juvenalian satire, using The R a p e of the Lock and "A Modest Proposal" as your examples for e
padilas [110]

Satire is the use of humor, exaggeration and irony to express human vices or foolishness. It is often used in the political arena or as a way to criticize government policy. There are two main types of satire: Horatian and Juvenalian.

  • Horatian satire is more tolerant and humorous; its main purpose is to amuse. Juvenalian tends to be more serious.
  • Horatian satire tends to be more witty.
  • Juvenalian satire focuses on personal anger, and attacks vices such as hypocrisy and corruption.
  • The language in a Juvenalian satire, while funny, can also be bitter and pessimistic.

Two works that are well-known examples of satire are:

  • "The R a p e of the Lock" by Alexander Pope. This is an example of Horatian satire. This narrative poem tells the story of a woman who gets a lock of hair stolen from her. However, the story is told as a Greek epic, contrasting the absurdity of the event with its exaggerated style. It is humorous, while slightly critical of the social behaviour of the upper classes.
  • "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift is a satire that argues that the problems of Irish poverty would be solved if Irish parents sold their children as food for the rich classes. The language is a lot more poignant and reprobatory, and its hidden message is one of indignation. It is an example of a Juvenalian satire.

The best answer is the first one.

The physical structure of the lines (long, short, medium, shortest) mimic the chipmunk's movement. He runs, he stops, he runs again.

Furthermore, the others can be eliminated simply by the fact that they do not make sense: one would not expect a chipmunk to have a formal education; if the chipmunk is diving he could not also be sluggish; a chipmunk would not have formal and calculated life.

Therefore, the best answer is the first one.

A example of metaphor and explain the metaphor
Mashcka [7]
Her tears were a river flowing down her cheeks.
As a river is so much larger than a few tears, the metaphor is a creative way of saying that the person is crying a lot. There are so many tears that they remind the writer of a river.
