Read 'Hearts and Hands', by William Sydney Porter
Which statement best describes the situational irony of the ending of the story?
A)- The reader doesn't expect to learn that Easton is the counterfeiter.
B). The reader expects Easton to ask to visit Miss Fairchild, and he doesn't
C)- Miss Fairchild expects Easton to ask her to join him out West, and he doesn't.
D). The reader doesn't expect other passengers to be listening to Miss Fairchild's conversation.
Answer: A)- The reader doesn't expect to learn that Easton is the counterfeiter.
Explanation:
When Miss Fairchild recognizes Mr. Easton as one of the two men handcuffed to each other on the train, she, and the reader, are led to believe that Mr. Easton is a United States marshall on his way to take the man he´s handcuffed to into prison. However, when Mr. Easton and his companion leave, two passengers talk about the conversation that had taken place with Miss Fairchild. Based on how Mr. Easton and his companion were handcuffed, they come to the conclusion that Mr. Easton was actually the prisoner and not the Marshall.
Answer:
The children's favorite landscape depicts a blazing African savannah with deadly animals.
Explanation:
I think Bradbury chose this landscape as a reflection of the children's violent minds. It shows what is really going on behind their innocent exterior and helps the reader understand a little what the children are thinking of without being overly obvious about it. It affects the reader because it sets an ominous mood that foreshadows a violent ending. With a happier setting, the mood would not imply impending doom and the outcome of the text would seem extremely abrupt.
*Hey! I hope this helps! If you need evidence you can put it when you explain what their favorite landscape is : )*
Answer:
She has skills that show her intelligence.
Explanation:
I'd consider this a "book smarts" vs. "street smarts" scenario, pretty literally with the idea of not knowing what subway to take. Nothing in the passage shows she isn't confident in her abilities or has any sort of dependence on her daughter, and it states very clearly many things she is able to do.
The primary event that led to the demise of the British Empire was World War II, which depleted Britain's resources and left the United States with most of the power after the war ended.
My favorite snow day activity would be making a SNOWMAN.First my morning would start off with my mother waking me up.We would usually watch the news channel for a bit before getting ready for school.This is when the news channel started to report on the weather.They said there was a huge chance a BLIZZARD would hit so schools were going to be canceled.
After the WEATHER REPORT I would quickly look out the window before putting on coat, BOOTS, and MITTENS.When I stepped outside I shivered it sure was FREEZING out but my excitement to play made me want to stay out.After playing outside for a bit my cousins had decided to come over.We went SLEDDING, SKATING, SKIING, and even SNOWBOARDING.It was really fun after we ended the day with watching a Christmas moving and drinking HOT CHOCOLATE.
