Read the passage from "The Storyteller.” (Links to an external site.) The children moved listlessly towards the aunt’s end of th

e carriage. Evidently her reputation as a storyteller did not rank high in their estimation. In a low, confidential voice, interrupted at frequent intervals by loud, petulant questionings from her listeners, she began an unenterprising and deplorably uninteresting story about a little girl who was good, and made friends with every one on account of her goodness, and was finally saved from a mad bull by a number of rescuers who admired her moral character. "Wouldn’t they have saved her if she hadn’t been good?” demanded the bigger of the small girls. It was exactly the question that the bachelor had wanted to ask. "Well, yes,” admitted the aunt lamely, "but I don’t think they would have run quite so fast to her help if they had not liked her so much.” "It’s the stupidest story I’ve ever heard,” said the bigger of the small girls.
Which statement best explains the situational irony that occurs in the passage?

The aunt expects the children to laugh at the story, but they do not.
The children expect their aunt to tell a funny story, but she does not.
The children do not like the story, even though it is very interesting.
The aunt tells a story with a moral, but the children ignore the lesson.

Answer:

The aunt tells a story with a moral, but the children ignore the lesson.

Explanation:

From the text we know that the children already acknowledge the poor storytelling abilities of their aunt and thus do not expect much from the story.

Despite the boring nature of the story, the aunt does try to lacklusterly include a moral, but the moral is completely ignored by the children who notice instead the many faults of the story.

After bringing back the silver apple to Aslan, Digory forgets his troubles and feels content. Why do you think he feels this way
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

After giving the apple to Aslan, Digory feels more content, peaceful. C. S. Lewis wrote the Chronicles of Narnia to be Christian fiction therefore this scene symbolizes giving up temptation(s) to God. Digory was tempted to take the apple to heal his mother, to eat the apple, to take part of the apple to his mother. He was relieved of all this temptation when he gave it to Aslan, who let him take one from the new tree that sprouted from the one Digory had brought back to heal his mother.
