Which statement most clearly illustrates Yuchin's vanity in "The Bane of the Internet"?

<u>Answer:</u>

"You don't get it, sister. I cannot drive a Chinese model. If I did, people would think I am cheap and laugh at me."

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the short story, "The Bane of the Internet" by Ha Jin, this statement is written by Yuchin in an e-mail to her sister (who is also the narrator), demanding her to lend Yuchin a sum of $10,000 so that she could buy a foreign car, even if it was doubly rated (as the narrator mentions), because she didn't want to appear "cheap" by getting a Chinese car which was priced less. This sentence shows her excessive concern with her image and status, and hence clearly illustrates her vanity. Her sister realises that Yuchin had also caught the auto mania.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • The first one shows her need to be above or impress her ex-husband, which was not the real reason she was buying an expensive car, as the narrator later realises.
  • The second one shows her envy towards her niece for owning a car.
  • The last one illustrates her adamant and headstrong nature, bordering to manipulation, but not vanity.

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

I don't really think any emotion came over him. I think that was his problem. He was not weary of the perils that awaited him. Check out this quote,

"But all this—the mysterious, far-reaching hair-line trail, the absence of sun from the sky, the tremendous cold, and the strangeness and weirdness of it all—made no impression on the man. It was not because he was long used to it. He was a newcomer in the land, a chechaquo, and this was his first winter. The trouble with him was that he was without imagination."

Edgar Allan Poe, "The Fall of the House of Usher", Using clues from the setting, what do you think might happen next?
Firlakuza [10]

Explanation:

For example, Roderick says "I must perish in this bounden slave" (Poe, pg9) foreshadows that Roderick will die. Poe also foreshadows Madeline's death because she has a cataleptical disease that makes her sleep for long periods. This is an example because they can't really tell if she dead or just sleeping.
