This is the story entitled "The Importance of Being Earnest".

Miss Prism's expressing concern for Jack and admiration for his devotion to his brother are ironic because she knows from the start that Jack’s pretences of having a brother are eventually real. He then finds out that Algernon is his younger brother upon questioning Miss Prism at the last part of the story.

<span>The story is an example of situation irony because the audience did not expect that Jack has a brother and that it will be Algernon, as opposite to their expected ending. </span>

Boccaccio does NOT address _________ as a theme in his “Tenth Day: Tenth Story”.
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

The correct answer is "Mortality".

Explanation:

In “Tenth Day: Tenth Story” by Giovanni Boccaccio, Dioneo tells the story of  the marquis of Sanluzzo, a man that has no interest of taking a wife but since  his vassals beg him to do it, he chooses a poor but virtuous wife and then he force them to accept her. The marquis tries to prove the fidelity of her wife and pretends to divorce her in order to marry someone younger, she passes the test and remains loyal to her husband. The avarice of the marquis is shown in his plot, the class conflict in the fact that he married a poor girl and the gender role reversal is shown when the marquis decides who he will marry. Mortality is the theme that is not addressed in the story, as no major character dies or faces a dying situation.

Write a short story that starts with this line: “I should have known it was a bad idea, but that didn’t stop me.”
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

    I should have known it was a bad idea, but that didn't stop me. I attempted to scrub the blood of of my hands and to delete the memory out of my mind. I didn't mean to stab that man. He came running behind me and violently put his hands over my mouth. I panicked. I reached in my pocket and pulled out my pocket knife that I carry in case of an emergency. I stuck it in his side and he let me go. A scream of pain escaped his lips as he knelt to the concrete ground. I ran as far away as I could, without looking back. I made it to my apartment about 2 miles away. I slammed the door shut, locked it, and shut the curtains to the window looking outside. It will only be a metter of time before the police come kocking on my door. Will I be able to say it was for self defefnse reasons and get off easy? Or will I be arrested for trying to protect myself from possible danger. Either way, I know the memory of tis night will be forever engraved in my brain. I have to just learn to live with the guilt. I won't let the memories and the flashbacks lead me the same fate I gave that man.     Explanation:
