The answer is understatement because he says that he "does not write all that much." This understatement in his short autobiographical essay adopts the same tone found in "There's a Man in the Habit of Hitting Me on the Head with an Umbrella."

An understatement is a literary device that writers use to make an event seem less important that it appears to be.

The correct answer is D.

In his autobiographical essay, Sorrentino uses an undestatement when he says he was won "some literary awards."

Right before this sentence, Sorrentino explains that his work has been included in anthologies in Spanish, English and other languages and has been translated to twelve different languages.

These are great acomplishments which not all writers are able to achieve; so, by saying that he has "won some literary awards," he is understating his success as a writer.

70 points What does mrs Bennett think of mr fitzwilliam Darcy
Readme [11.4K]

Answer: This quote shows how Darcy made a bad impression when he first met the Bennet sisters. At the same time, it also shows how quickly individuals can make snap judgments. A single occasion does not fully shed light on Darcy’s character, and yet after a single ball everyone rushes to judge him. They also misinterpret his shy and introverted behavior as evidence that he is stuck up and unfriendly. Even though Darcy has a great deal of wealth and social status, his personality still leads to him being widely disliked.

Write a short story about a character who changes or learns something
____ [38]
<h3>✽ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~<u>Hello There</u>!~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ✽</h3>

➷ (I'm writing this in first person by the way)

The scent hit me faster than it should have and the wave of nausea crept up inside me. I ran out of the classroom and paced up and down the corridor until the feeling of sickness settled down. I decided to go the bathroom anyway to wash my hands because it was lunch next. I pushed open the door carefully.

I heard mumbles coming from inside one of the stalls. I listened carefully.

"Why couldn't I just be skinny and pretty? I'm so disgusting. I hate it. I hate it. "

Words don't seem like enough to explain what I felt in that moment. I knew who that voice belonged to. Melissa Lockheart. Also knows as the prettiest popular girl in our school. I didn't know how to feel. I'd always looked upon her as being blessed and I just envied her for being so perfect. Not everything is what it seems.

This is kind of rushed but you can edit it however you want to

<h3><u>✽</u></h3>

➶ Hope This Helps You!

➶ Good Luck (:

➶ Have A Great Day ^-^
