The fact that the job market was in bad shape when the narrator graduated from college sets him/her to be more open to accept any kind of job, as long as he/she gets to write every day. His/her lack of success in the prior months makes him/her more attentive, in search of any opportunity when it shows up. He/she is determined to find a job as soon as possible, as can be appreciated from the fact that he/she has read job search materials. So he/she gave it a shot.
Although he/she wasn’t planning on being a reporter, he/she was set to make a good job despite the lack of experience and knowledge. He/she went out there, used the basic knowledge he/she knew about reporting (to make a good article, answer these questions: Who? What? Where? When? Why? and How?), got a “crash course in interviewing” and a list of sources for his/her future stories. So, if the job market hadn’t have been in bad shape when he/she graduated, he/she wouldn’t have het such a challenging and rewarding first job.
Irony is when the opposite of the expected outcome occurs. The answer would be C. The desire to make people safe leads to a future in which everyone is confined to their beds.
The idea would be that everyone would be save to live how they please, but being confined to their beds does not allow them any opportunity for life.
Hope this helps!!
The meaning of this idiom is that you should never feel hopeless when times get hard or difficult because difficult times always lead to better days. The difficult times are like dark clouds that blocks the sun. When we look at the edges of the cloud more closely, we can see the sun shining there like a silver lining.
Dexter is one of the men who chase Judy Jones.
Explanation:
Judy wishes to live in her own way and she uses men and then disposes of them. Dexter is very humble but throughout the story, Judy is very harsh towards Dexter.
Dexter is a man of emotions and he is enticed by her beauty. But Judy had fancy for men and wealth and lived in her own way. She used her beauty to attract men and money.
It can be inferred that Judy Jones was the peak of Dexter's life. He even gave up his job for her.
