Read this passage from “In Another Country.” In what way is Hemingway using characterization to describe the Major? The major ca

me very regularly to the hospital. I do not think he ever missed a day, although I am sure he did not believe in the machines. There was a time when none of us believed in the machines, and one day the major said it was all nonsense. The machines were new then and it was we who were to prove them. It was an idiotic idea, he said, "a theory like another".
Indirect characterization – the major is relating his own thoughts to the reader
Indirect characterization – the narrator is relating the major’s thoughts, words, and actions.

The correct answer is B. Indirect characterization – the narrator is relating the major’s thoughts, words, and actions.

Explanation:

In literary works, indirect characterization occurs as the narrator or author of the text allows the reader to know about a character through the thoughts, words, and actions of this character. This is the opposite of direct characterization in which the narrator explicitly describes the personality or traits of a character.

In the case of the excerpt presented, there is mainly indirect characterization because instead of describing the personality of the major the narrator let the reader know him through his actions "The major came very regularly to the hospital", words "The major came very regularly to the hospital" and thoughts or beliefs "he did not believe in the machines" to show he is a skeptic person.

Answer:

Indirect characterization – the narrator is relating the major’s thoughts, words, and actions.

Explanation:

The direct characterization is when the qualities of the character are tell to the audience, for example “The rude girl looked at the boy”, here we do not need to assume her personality by her actions or thought we already she is rude, it is explicit in the sentence, however in this excerpt we assume the personality of the major based on his thoughts and actions, this is the indirect charavcterization.

Vonnegut uses satire to expose which societal
Tasya [4]

Answer:

I believe it's the last one.

Explanation:

One needs to look now farther than the first paragraph to realize that Vonnegut's tale is laced with irony and satire.  The strongest hint is when he mentions that there are over 100 ammendments in the Constitution.  All these ammendments are designed to make society "perfect."  Later on George and his wife Hazel are discussing how George's handicaps, the bags of birdshot tied to his legs, are terribly inconvenient and painful.  Hazel suggests George break a law and remove the bags since he isn't competing against anyone at home.  George replies that if he broke the law so would others and they'd end up right back in the "Dark Ages".  These examples depict there is no such thing as a perfect society.  Equality does not bring about perfection and competition is essential for a thriving economy.  In every society there are winners and losers.  

Sorry if i'm wrong.

1.Read the passage and answer the questions given.
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

One day, on a small farm in Maine, a man sat in a barn watching a large gray spider spin a web. The man was E.B. White. E.B.—or Andy, as he was called—thought spiders were spectacular creatures. He thought that one day he might like to write a children’s book about a spider.

But writing was hard work for Andy. He had written many articles and essays and poems. He had also written one children’s book, Stuart Little. But Andy could never just rush to turn an idea into an article or book. He told his editor that he needed to let his ideas “ripen.”

So for years, Andy continued to think about writing a children’s book about a spider. He did some of his best thinking while he meandered around his farm.

Once while he was cleaning his barn, he found a spider’s egg sac. Andy wanted to see the eggs hatch. But he was scheduled to leave for a trip to New York City. So he found a small box and carefully placed the egg sac inside. When he got to his hotel, he put the box on the dresser. One morning he woke up, and there were hundreds of baby spiders scurrying across the dresser!

Years later, Andy finally began writing Charlotte’s Web, the story of a spider named Charlotte and a pig named Wilbur. Andy created most of the book sitting by himself in the tiny boathouse of his farm. Sometimes he stopped writing and doodled pictures of spiders. Andy always said Charlotte’s Web was more than just a children’s story about animals. It was a timeless story about true friendship.
