Answer:

d. social sci-fi.

Explanation:

For all the intricacies of Vonnegut´s narrative, it could be said that most of his sci-fi pieces concern societal issues treated through science fiction and humor. This story is not the exception. In it, the main character, Barnhouse discovers he can manipulate physical objects and even events. He informs the government of his discoveries and is turned into a weapon. He rejects this role and uses his powers to destroy all military weapons. He passes this knowledge on to his student who is like minded.

How will the desert change for Fatima one Santiago is gone
jenyasd209 [6]

Hello, I think that, I could help with your question.

All researched <3

─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───

The alchemist leads the boy through the desert with the falcon on his shoulder. During their stops, the falcon flies off and returns with rabbits or birds to eat. They travel for a week, speaking little. On the seventh day, the alchemist sets up camp early and tells Santiago his journey is almost finished. Fatima and Santiago agree that his leaving is the right thing to do. Instead, it brought the scent of a perfume he knew well, and the touch of a kiss — a kiss that came from far away, slowly, slowly, until it rested on his lips. The boy smiled. It was the first time she had done that.Santiago tells the desert about his love for Fatima, and it offers its sand to Santiago to help the wind blow. It says that Santiago will also have to ask the wind for help. A breeze picks up as Santiago asks the wind for help. Fatima is proud of her heritage as a 'woman of the desert. ' She explains to him that desert women understand their men must go exploring in the desert, searching for treasure. More than understanding, the desert women are 'proud of their tribesmen. The boy, Santiago, is robbed in Tangier after he gives a man money to buy camels. What happens when Santiago reaches the pyramids that makes his heart burst with joy? He is beaten and robbed and realizes he is alive! There you will find a treasure that will make you a rich man. It's this: that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. That's the world's greatest lie. During the old king's explanation of what a personal legend is, he insists that Santiago not believe in "The World's Greatest Lie." The old king says this: "At a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. That's the world's greatest lie.”

Read the paragraph from an interpretive literary analysis. In William Shakespeare's Hamlet, the main character's indecision and
FromTheMoon [43]

In this paragraph from an interpretive literary analysis of William Shakespeare's Hamlet, the term <em>allusion</em> should be changed to the term <em>irony</em>.

This is a very common literary device where a state of affairs or events end up being the contrary to what the readers expect and often amazes the audience.

In this particular part of the play, Hamlet, who is supposed to kill Laertes with his sword, ends up being hurted and poisoned by his own sword. His lack of attention ends with his life at the same moment he ends Laerte's.

This is a very unexpected outcome because Hamlet was about to fulfill his will, but because of his inattention, the situation ends with his life as well.
