Is “everyone went to the dance, but me” a compound sentence?

Answer:

"Everyone went to the dance, but me," is not a compound sentence.

Explanation:

A compound sentence is--similarly to the sentence in the question--something a comma is present within. The similarities basically end there. A compound sentence is the joining of two separate thoughts with--in general--the first being a <em>complete sentence</em> with a subject, and the second being an <em>incomplete sentence</em>, but having a different subject.

  • "I just lost my dog, but my cat seems to be happy about it." is a compound sentence.

In the above sentence, the first clause is a complete thought that could be on its own,

  • "I just lost my dog."

but the second sentence is incomplete without the first even with a subject and verb.

  • "But my cat seems to be happy about it."

That's the best explanation I can give on compound sentences.

In your case with the sentence, "Everyone went to the dance, but me," there may be a subject, verb, and <u>complete sentence</u> in...

  • "Everyone went to the dance."

but even with, "But me." being incomplete, the fact there is no subject nor verb removes the possibility of it being a compound sentence.

How is the theme of economic inequality evident in “a modest proposal” ?
notsponge [240]

With "A Modest Proposal," Swift's persona draws attention to the economic disparity between Ireland and England. The author's satire addresses the topic of the exploitation of the Irish by wealthy Irish people on a social level and by the English on a political one using the themes of poverty, class, politics, mercantilism, and greed.

<h3>What does A Modest Proposal's key message entail?</h3>

Swift exhibits deep sympathy for Ireland's beggars at the outset of the essay by outlining their plight in considerable detail. Swift used a satirical tone in his essay "A Modest Proposal" to mock the public for failing to take action or even develop viable solutions to issues like fetal removal, population growth, and poverty.

Swift initially recognizes a problem in this satire: the miserable lives that the Irish poor are experiencing. Then he makes a plan to lessen this load by reducing the population, locating a new food source, and ending begging. The essay, which is disguised as an economic dissertation, suggests that Ireland's poverty be reduced by killing its underprivileged children and selling them to the English landowners as food. Swift's suggestion is a scathing critique of England's economic and legal exploitation of Ireland.

Which sentence in this excerpt from mark twain‘s “the 1,000,000 bank note” is an example of satire
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

An example of satire here is: "Those two old brothers had been having a pretty hot argument a couple of days before, and had ended by agreeing to decide it by a bet, which is the English way of settling everything"

Explanation:

When we talk about a satire, we need to know that is a technique that authors used to express humor, exaggeration, irony or to expose or ridicule people's behavior or vices. Here we have some irony in the sentence especially in this part: "<em>which is the English way of settling everything</em>" Here he is making fun of the way that English people resolve their problems. He is trying to say that problems are serious and to resolve them you need more than just a bet.
