1 answer:

5 0

This is a thought-provoking letter written by Kurt Vonnegut opposing the idea of burning books of young children, in view of transforming the system of education in America.

Explanation:

In this letter, Vonnegut starts telling audience/readers the ideas that can have a negative effect, not only on the target person/individual, but also on a wider range because of its effect being new and historic.

Though in view of a change, Vonnegut argues that this act of burning books is not what we all should accept. In Paragraphs 7 and 8, when Vonnegut explains about how people feel it is their right to decide what their children must read, the author explains to them that it is true but doing that in an un-American way - harsh, impractical, ignorant manner can cause a negative impact for them.

In the next point of argument, author talks about how people/nations who didn't read books, didn't let ideas emerge among people fought wars. They created destruction all over world. The author clearly states that people/nations who read books have been a part of development, improvement and liberation.

Several times in the scene, Antigone's tomb is referred to as her bridal chamber. How might this affect the mood of the audience

almond37 [142]

Answer:

The repetition that Antigone's tomb has become her nuptial chamber, makes the reader lose hope that she will marry and be happy, which leaves everything sad, melancholy and depressive.

Explanation:

Antigone was a girl who was engaged to Creon's son and so she should be happy and anxious for the moment when the wedding would take place, and for the moment when she was in her nuptial chamber. This anxiety about marriage, should make the reader and the audience happy, because something good and happy was about to happen.

However, Creon, who was a king, determined that one of Antigone's brothers, who died attacking the city in which he was born and raised, should not be buried and have a dignified funeral. Whoever dared to bury him would be condemned to death.

At that moment all of Antigone's happiness ended and she decided to disobey Creon and bury her brother. This means that Antigoe is condemned to death even before the wedding. Antigone's death saddens the reader and the audience, and the repetition that her tomb has become her nuptial chamber has caused the mood of sadness and horror to increase more and more.

Mood is the feeling that the author wants to convey with a story.
