Answer:

In this story, winning the lottery means that you are stoned to death, not the recipient of a great prize. Secondly, the description in the first paragraph of the story is also ironic. Jackson describes the day as "clear" and "sunny," for instance, and notes that the flowers are "blossoming."

One example of irony is that Tess is chosen to be the one for the lottery yet in the beginning she is portrayed to be a carefree woman that cares for her family and a person the town likes. Also old Man Warner makes fun of towns that are wanting to get rid of The Lottery and he thinks that means they will go back to primitive times. Though it is the opposite because that town is moving forward by abandoning dated traditions to match moral standards.

Which of the following is an example of dramatic irony in this scene? Choose 1 answer:
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

1. Choice C

2. Choice B

Explanation:

Question 1: "Dramatic irony" is when the audience or readers know something that some characters in the narrative <em>don't know</em>. In the option C, "<u>Bottom doesn't realize</u>" helps me figure out that he doesn't know something.

Therefore, the answer is (Choice C) Bottom doesn’t realize that Puck has given him an donkey's head.

Question 2: In this story, the fact that Bottom doesn't know that Puck has given him a donkey's head makes us feel sympathy for Bottom.

Therefore, the answer is (Choice B) B It helps increase the reader’s sympathy for the other actors.

Hope this helps! :D

HELP TIMED 5 MINS LEFT
Softa [21]

Answer: The narrator has learned to respect the gods, even in death, rather than fear them.

Explanation:

The narrator has learned to respect the goods rather than fear them because at first he was afraid but then fear has left him. ''At first, I was afraid to approach him—then the fear left me. ''

He is telling the readers that there are sadness and wisdom in his face. ''But it is better to lose one's life than one's spirit—and you could see from the face that his spirit had not been lost. '' that is why he learned to respect the goods even in death.
