Subha’s name means “sweetly speaking.” The literary device that her name ilustrates is IRONY since the girl cannot speak.

The literary device irony is defined as a literary technique, originally used in Greek tragedy, by which the full significance of a character's words or actions is clear to the audience or reader although unknown to the character. Irony involves the employment of a language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect.

Answer:

Irony

Explanation:

The name is an example of the rhetorical device of irony. Irony refers to a situation in which what is said by the author differs significantly from what the reader expects, or from what is actually the reality. In this example, Subha's name means "sweetly speaking," but this is ironic because the girl cannot speak.

Airida [17]

The sentence in this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich that shows that Ivan Ilyich's son is still innocent and uncorrupted is "His son had always seemed pathetic to him, and now it was dreadful to see the boy's frightened look of pity".

In this novella by Leo Tolstoy, Vasya, Ivan Ilyich's son, is presented as an uncorrupted character. He is the one who actually feels sad for his father's suffering before he dies at the end of the book. At the same time, Vanya is one of the few characters whom Ivan feels compassion for since his son has not fallen into the trap of a society full of inauthentic people. In other words, Vanya is presented as a genuine and caring child: he remains innocent in a society where everyone is false.

How does the detail about the Nazi prison guards in paragraph 5 contribute to the text

Inessa [10]

Answer:

The detail about the Nazi prison guards in paragraph five contributes to the text because it shows that the guards had empathy towards the Jews. The article defines empathy as "...the ability to understand and share the feelings of another person." (Info Paragraph) In the article, it says, "...Nazi prison guards sometimes wept as they mowed down Jewish women and children, but they still did it." (Paragraph 5) The guards indeed felt terrible but their empathy didn't stop them from following orders. In conclusion, having or showing empathy isn't clear to "... actually [motivate] you to take moral action or [prevent] you from taking immoral action." (Paragraph 2)
