Answer: Irony

Irony refers to a rhetorical device in which what appears to be the case is in fact dramatically different from the reality. In this case, both Jim and Della believed themselves to be giving the perfect gift to the other person, not knowing that the other person was giving away the thing that was necessary for the gifts to work. This is an example of irony.

ROMEO AND JULIET
Nady [450]

Answer:

Despite the fact that no death should be justified, we can say that there were not sufficient reasons to kill Mercutio, instead there were reasons to kill Tybalt.

Explanation:

Romeo's intervention in that street fight where he did not want his best friend or his relative to get hurt, caused Mercutio to be killed by Tybalt for no reason other than hatred.

While Tybalt, Juliet's cousin, after he kills Romeo's best friend, is fatally stabbed by Romeo in revenge for his previous act.

From what we can say that Tybalt's death is more justified than Mercutio's death.

How is your topic interesting?
lilavasa [31]
Hi! I’m not exactly sure of the topic you are referring to... but if it’s just about anything, you can make it sound interesting. I’ll give this my best shot. Here we go... stick with me:

Here are some key points to take whatever topic you are thinking of and make it interesting:

• enthusiasm- speak with enthusiasm about this topic. If you’re writing, add exclamation.

• language- use proper wording. For example: a salesman wouldn’t just say: “this product is cool.”
That isn’t persuasive or interesting about the product. That is simply stating his opinion. He could rather say: “this product is made for really everyone! It has complex features and works for all ages.” Therefore, I didn’t mention a product, but it definitely sounds better than just using the basic language.

• facts- when you are talking or even writing about something... you need facts. As I stated in the previous point, when the salesman stated his opinion, it wasn’t as persuasive or nearly as informative as the product with facts was. Knowing about your topic just as a salesman would know his product, will only benefit you in answering the question of how your topic would be interesting.

These were my key points I wanted to highlight and I believe that if you incorporate these points into your answer for the question you asked, it will be of success.

Happy studying! If you have further concerns, just post em in chat. I love to help.
