The correct answer is A) Mr. Shiflet has just deceived an old woman for personal gain and yet he does not think he’s part of the “rottenness of the world”.

<em>The option that best describes the irony of the excerpt is “Mr. Shiflet has just deceived an old woman for personal gain and yet he does not think he’s part of the “rotteness of the world”. </em>

Lucynell is deaf and mute, and her mother give Mr. Shiflet money to marry Lucynell. Mr. Shiftlet accepts the money and marries her. They go to their honeymoon and abandon Lucy and then it comes to his mind that “he felt that the rottenness of the world was about to engulf him. He raised his arm and let it fall again to his breast. He prayed: ‘Oh Lord! Break forth and wash the smile from this Earth.”

We are referring to the short story “The Life You Save May Be Your Own” written by Flannery O’Connor that can be found in the book “A Good Man is Hard to Find” (1955).

dangina [55]

The correct answer is A. persuasive essay.

Indeed, Wilson had sent a series of messages to Congress in order to persuade them to declare War on Germany and the Central Powers. It is a clear utilization of Pathos as he dismisses the idea that the war is being waged due to conflicting European imperial interests but due to the “savagery” of Germans. Historically speaking he was alluding to the decision of Germany to resume its U-Boat war against neutral civilian passenger ships. He is using relatable, emotional arguments to Congress and Americans who would be horrified if their own “men, women and children” were the victims of German “wholesome destruction”.
