Which phrase in this excerpt from Kurt Vonnegut's "Report on the Barnhouse Effect" is an example of sarcasm?
Reika [66]

Which phrase in this excerpt from Kurt Vonnegut's "Report on the Barnhouse Effect" is an example of sarcasm?

To ask how much longer the professor will live is to ask how much longer we must wait for the blessings of another world war. He is of short-lived stock: his mother lived to be fifty-three, his father to be forty-nine; and the life-spans of his grandparents on both sides were of the same order. He might be expected live, then, for perhaps fifteen years more, if he can remain hidden from his enemies. When one considers the number and vigor of these enemies, however, fifteen years seems an extraordinary length of time, which might better be revised to fifteen days, hours, or minutes. The professor knows that he cannot live much longer. I say this because of the message left in my mailbox on Christmas Eve. Unsigned, typewritten on a soiled scrap of paper, the note consisted of ten sentences. The first nine of these, each a bewildering tangle of psychological jargon and references to obscure texts, made no sense to me at first reading. The tenth, unlike the rest, was simply constructed and contained no large words.

Answer:

To ask how much longer the professor will live is to ask how much longer we must wait for the blessings of another world war.

Explanation:

Sarcasm is simply defined as using irony to mock or ridicule something or someone.

From this excerpt of Kurt Vonnegut's "Report on the Barnhouse Effect". the phrase that is used which is an example of sarcasm is <u>To ask how much longer the professor will live is to ask how much longer we must wait for the blessings of another world war. </u>

War is not a blessing, so the narrator used that word to show irony to probably convey contempt. Also, he also means that no one knows how long the professor will live because it is as uncertain as knowing when a world war will start.

"blessings" being the key word, because a world war would not bring blessings, but devastation.

Is Odysseus power hungry? Explain please.
Ann [662]
Personally, I think this is an opinionated question, but no. Odysseus did what was best for the team behind him. He was smart, and he seemed to always know what to do. But he was not power hungry. He was humble. He used his gift of knowledge to help, not take over. Hope this helps. :)

How does the poet use figurative language to develop the theme in “We Wear the Mask”?
inessss [21]

Answer:

The figurative language is used by the poet to develop the theme of appearance v. reality in the poem "We Wear the Mask." The use of figurative language has helped to bring clarity to the text.

Explanation:

"We Wear the Mask" is a poem written by Paul Laurence Dunbar. The poem speaks about the identity crises when people are faced with racism. The poet brings a strong message through this poem, that people who suffer from racism are taught to wear a mask of happiness and smile to show that the racism does not affect them and to pretend that everything is okay. But, on the contrary, it does affect them mentally and emotionally.

<u>The figurative languages used by Dunbar in the poem are personification, symbolism, apostrophe</u>.

Personification is used in the line '<u>We wear the mask that grins and lies</u>.' Personification is a literary device that is used to show human emotions and characteristics to inhuman objects such as animals. In this line 'mask' which is a non-living object, is shown with human emotions of smiling and grinning.

Symbolism is used in the same line '<u>we wear the mask that grins and lies</u>.' In this line symbolism is used in the word 'mask' which symbolizes an act of hiding true identity. It is an act of disguising yourself and not revealing who you are truly. Since the theme of the poem is hiding true identity, this symbolism is an important figurative device.

The other device used by the poet is apostrophe in line '<u>We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries</u>.' Apostrophe is a device that is used to speak directly to someone who is not present while speaking or is dead, or to an inanimate object. The poet is speaking in this line and calling to great Jesus Christ.

These figurative language has helped to bring clarity and understanding of the theme and the text. And also the message that the poet wants to convey through this poem.
