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.

Troy Maxson- physical traits and evidence that supports the physical traits
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

The author opens by describing Troy, the play's protagonist and patriarch of the Maxson family. He is a 53-year-old, hefty, black man. He is described by the author as "a large man with thick, heavy hands (Wilson)." His size and blackness are a reflection of his sensitivities and life choices. Troy takes satisfaction in the fact that he can provide for his family, a position that would boost the egos of most men, even in today's contemporary culture. The protagonist's other characteristics throughout the play include being opinionated, loud, and harsh at times. According to the play, despite his frequent swearing, "he has the potential of rising to higher levels of expression (Wilson)." Troy is a good example of a modern-day tragic hero, and this article will show this by looking at both the good and bad things that have happened to him.

Relationship with other character:

He recounted numerous adventures as a trash collector with his buddy, Jim Bono. Bono's father was despondent about life in the same way that Troy's father was, but unlike Troy's father, Bono's father never played a fathering or providing role for Bono and his family. Bono described his father as having "The Walking Blues," a disorder that caused him to move constantly from one woman to the next and prohibited him from remaining in one spot for lengthy periods of time. Bono didn't recognize his father and knew very little about him. According to Bono, his father, like many other African Americans of his father's age, was "searching out The New Land."
