Excerpt: "No, you didn't expect him to get killed," Mrs. Gearson repeated, in a voice which was startlingly like George's again. "You just expected him to kill some one else, some of those foreigners, that weren't there because they had any say about it, but because they had to be there, poor wretches--conscripts, or whatever they call 'em. You thought it would be all right for my George, your George, to kill the sons of those miserable mothers and the husbands of those girls that you would never see the faces of."

The woman lifted her powerful voice in a psalmlike note. "I thank my God he didn't live to do it! I thank my God they killed him first, and that he ain't livin' with their blood on his hands!" She dropped her eyes, which she had raised with her voice, and glared at Editha. "What you got that black on for?" She lifted herself by her powerful arms so high that her helpless body seemed to hang limp its full length. "Take it off, take it off, before I tear it from your back!"

Explanation: In this excerpt there are a couple of sentences that are considering sarcasm in them. Those are:

"No, you didn't expect him to get killed."

"You just expected him to kill someone else.."

"they weren't there because they had any say about it.."

''you thought it would be right.....to kill the sons...miserable mothers.."

They are having sarcastic tone in them because the man is saying those words in a sarcastic way because they are something that the other person know but he was acting like he didn't. That is why he is saying ''No, you didn't expect'' or ''You thought..''

The proposal that the committee should choose is proposal 2.

From the information given, it should be noted that Proposal 2 would generate more money for the library.

A great way to make money for the library would be holding a car wash. Since the softball team at the school raised over $400 at their car wash last year, this is an avenue to raise more money. This will be important in getting the needed funds and achieving the aim.
