Question:
In "Where have you gone, charming billy" paul cant help but laugh over billy boys death because .
A) He died so unexpectedly
B He died in such an unlikely way
C) He had predicted he would die
D) He had died before getting to fight
Answer:
The correct option is B) He died in such an unlikely way.
Explanation:
Billy had stepped on a mine that blew off his leg then went on to die from a heart attack.
The unlikeliness is dual in nature:
- First, Billy triggers the heart attack, leading him to die. After his foot is decoupled by a land mine, he panics, thinking he will die. Not even the pain killers or the opportunity to go home served to calm him down. In the end, Billy’s fear of death ignites a heart attack that kills him.
- Second, how is it that a soldier would be so scared to death he eventually dies from his own fear of death rather than in the battlefield? If he was so afraid of death, how did he end up as a soldier in the first place? These are the questions going through Paul's mind.
Cheers!
Answer:
- Magdalena wishes not to have to take care of her brothers but to be free to paint.
- She wants to be cherished by her father.
- She wants to paint like her father.
- She wants to spend more time with her father.
Explanation:
When we know Magdalena's wishes, we realize that this story is based on the lack of independence that women had in years ago. That's because Magdalena has a strong desire to be a painter, but the time she lives limits women to housework, making her parents not give her permission to paint. We also have as a background the idea that male children were valued, since Magdalena cannot spend much time with her father, as she must stay at home helping her mother to take care of the children.
By reading Magdalena's wishes, I could see how cruel society is to women, suppressing their wishes because of social standards that oppress them and prevent them from reaching goals.
