One day, Waverly and her mother were walking through some stores, when her mother started to talk about all of Waverly's accomplishments. This made Waverly so embarrassed that she ran away.

**PLATO QUESTION, PLEASE ANSWER CORRECTLY, ONLY ONE CORRECT ANSWER, THANK YOU**
ddd [48]

Answer:

A. It helps the reader understand the implication of events better than the narrator could.

Explanation:

By definition, dramatic irony is the phenomenon of the reader knowing more about the reality of the matter than the characters themselves.

This literary technique in especially useful in works with unreliable narrators because it gives the reader the opportunity to know and understand the plot of the story independently of the narrator's words. In other words, the reader does not need to rely on the characters to understand the events of the work, thus being able to detect unreliability, where present.

How does jim o'connor feel about his own future in the glass menagerie
ira [324]
In the character descriptions preceding the play, Jim is described as a "nice, ordinary, young man." He is the emissary from the world of normality. Yet this ordinary and simple person, seemingly out of place with the other characters, plays an important role in the climax of the play.

The audience is forewarned of Jim's character even before he makes his first appearance. Tom tells Amanda that the long-awaited gentleman caller is soon to come. Tom refers to Jim as a plain person, someone over whom there is no need to make a fuss. He earns only slightly more than does Tom and can in no way be compared to the magnificent gentlemen callers that Amanda used to have.

Jim's plainness is seen in his every action. He is interested in sports and does not understand Tom's more illusory ambitions to escape from the warehouse. His conversation shows him to be quite ordinary and plain. Thus, while Jim is the long-awaited gentleman caller, he is not a prize except in Laura's mind.

The ordinary aspect of Jim's character seems to come to life in his conversation with Laura. But it is contact with the ordinary that Laura needs. Thus it is not surprising that the ordinary seems to Laura to be the essence of magnificence. And since Laura had known Jim in high school when he was the all-American boy, she could never bring herself to look on him now in any way other than exceptional. He is the one boy that she has had a crush on. He is her ideal.
