What is a humorous imitation of a popular literary style, genre, or author called?

English

strojnjashka [21]3 years ago
7 0

The correct answer is parody.

Parody happens when authors try to imitate another piece of literature, or the entire genre, or another author, but do so in a humorous way, or sometimes, even a mocking one.

In literature, we can find a famous example of parody in Alexander Pope's narrative poem 'The R.ape of the Lock,' which is written in order to parody the genre of epic, heroic poems, and their seemingly grand themes.

Why are Sarah Goode and Sarah Osborne considered easy targets for the girls crying out against others “witching” them.
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

Sarah Good was born to a prosperous innkeeper in 1653.However, her father's estate became entangled in litigation leaving Sarah Good in poverty. After the death of her first husband, she married William Good. The Goods lived a life of begging and poverty in Salem Village. Sarah was regarded as an unsavory person and has come to be regarded through literature as the stereotypical witch, a disreputable old hag. Good was among the first three women accused of witchcraft in 1692 and was the first to testify. She never confessed guilt, but, like Tituba,she did accuse Sarah Osburne, an act that was credited with validating the witchcraft trials and accusations. Good was hanged as a witch on Tuesday July 19, 1692,but not until after the imprisonment of her six year old child Dorcas, also accused of witchcraft, and the tragic death of her infant in prison.In February of 1692, Sarah Osborne became one of the first three victims to be accused of witchcraft in Salem Village. As the widow of Robert Prince-a Salem Villager who purchased a 150-acre farm next to his friend Captain John Putnam's, Osborne was required (by Prince's will) to carry-over their estate to their two young sons. However, by attempting to overtake possession of the property for herself and her new husband, Irish immigrant Alexander Osborne, Sarah Osborne upset social norms that consequently resulted in accusations of witchcraft by the Putnam family. She died in prison on May 10, 1692.

What is the BEST way to combine the information in the two clauses below? Eddie left his soccer practice early. So that he could
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

B. Eddie left his soccer practice early so that he could make his tutoring appointment.

Explanation:

A clause can be defined as a group of words that comprises of both a subject and predicate (finite verb).

In English language, there are two (2) main types of clause used in forming a sentence and these are;

I. A dependent clause: it can be defined as a type of clause that is inserted into another clause to make meaning or express a complete thought.

II. An independent clause: it can be defined as a clause that expresses a complete thought while standing alone as a simple sentence and comprises of at least a subject and a verb (predicate)

In this scenario, "Eddie left his soccer practice early" is an independent clause while "so that he could make his tutoring appointment" is a dependent clause.

Hence, the best way to combine the information in the two clauses given above is to remove the punctuation mark (period) after "early" and then combine both the dependent clause and independent clause with a lowercase phrase "so that."

In conclusion, when an independent clause is followed by a dependent clause, no comma is required to separate them.
