Does anything seem “off” about the two characters and their relationship? Explain.

English
1 answer:
pentagon [3]3 years ago
3 0

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>Yes</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The two characters of the story, House Taken Over by Julio Cortazar are Irene and her brother who wasn't named.

<u>Here are two things that seem “off” about the two characters and their relationship:</u>

  1. <u>In their forties and still are both unmarried</u>
  2. <u>they both live in the same house.</u>

1. By stating that both characters are old enough to be married but yet aren't creates a sense of surprise to an avid reader because it is rare to find such a situation in society.

2. We are also told both siblings live in the same house which they inherited. This creates another surprise to the reader that grownups who are siblings can stay in the same house for a long time.

Therefore
you are to tie me up, tight as a splint, 
erect along the mast, lashed to the mast,
and if I shout and beg to be untied,
take more turns of the rope to muffle me.

He is one of the heroes in Homer's epic poem called Odyssey. He was a man that steadfast, brilliant, and versatile. These lines tell of his bravery and that he would be willing to make the necessary sacrifices for the good of all.</span>
