Read the paragraph. When the Titanic struck the iceberg, some of the watertight compartments ripped open and filled with water.

Although the compartments had been designed to prevent the ship from flooding, they unexpectedly did not seal off incoming water. The compartments were not capped at the top, and water continued to enter them as the ship angled down into the water. Other researchers suggest that the rivets (metal fasteners) and the seams of the watertight compartments did not hold together as well as expected. What does this paragraph imply? The Titanic’s watertight compartments did not function properly. The Titanic’s construction prevented water from flooding the ship. The Titanic’s watertight compartments were sealed at the top. The Titanic was the world’s largest steamship of its time.

It is not D, because that is an irrelavant fact

The story is filled with Christ imagery. In what ways does Mr. Shiftlet live up to the Christian symbols that surround him early
zepelin [54]

Answer:

This story may well be one of O'Connor's most humorous stories. Even though the story as it now stands appears to focus on the attempts of two equally unscrupulous characters to gain an advantage over the other, O'Connor, through the use of color imagery and somewhat obvious symbolism, manages to make the story more than merely a humorous tale. Yet it is the humor, ultimately, which first catches the attention of most readers.

Some of O'Connor's humor is similar, at least in part, to the tradition of such Old Southwest humorists (1835-1860) as Johnson J. Hooper and George W. Harris. Hooper's Simon Suggs and Harris' Sut Lovingood are both similar to O'Connor's Shiftlet. This is especially true in Shiftlet's "swapping session" scenes with Mrs. Crater. These swapping session scenes are also reminiscent of the Armsted-Snopes exchanges in the fiction of William Faulkner. Each of the major characters in O'Connor's story is aware that he, or she, has something that someone else craves, which slowly increases the apparent value of the offer until the final bargain is struck.

Match the description to the term.

<span>1. Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea = <u>Jules Verne</u>. (this French writer wrote this revolutionary 'sci-fi' novel back in 1870)
2. the resolving of the action = <u>denouement</u>. (it is a French word meaning a conclusion, something that explains everything in the end)
3. an extreme, unbelievable character = <u>caricature</u>. (often writers exaggerate a lot when they describe certain characters, usually to mock some of their flaws)
4. based on determinism = <u>naturalism</u>. (this literary era was all about determinism - meaning that we are not the rulers over our own lives, but rather that everything has already been determined for us, whether we like it or not)
5. a story or account = <u>narrative </u>(it is a piece of literature you write about something)
6. Canterbury Tales = <u>Geoffrey Chaucer</u> (a collection of 24 stories written somewhere in the 14th century)
7. War and Peace = <u>Leo Tolstoy </u>(a famous Russian author who wrote this lengthy novel in 1869 and is considered to be his masterpiece)
8. example of a novel of incidence = <u>Robinson Crusoe</u> (Crusoe is incidentally left alone on an island)
9. James Boswell = <u>Life of Johnson</u> (a biography about Dr. Samuel Johnson's life)</span>
