Westkost [7]3 years ago

Answer:

When they are finished, Oedipus steps in, rather pridefully, and assures them that he has the situation well in hand. His pride while addressing them, and his assurance that he can handle the situation (rather than praying to the gods as a more humble man might do), certainly increases the dramatic tension in the play.

What is the authors purpose for including the following passage? Two boys faced each other. There was a brilliant world of hunti
IceJOKER [234]

In this case, the purpose of the authors with this passage is to emphasize the rivalry between Jack and Ralph, this is shown as the author explains the differences between Jack and Ralph ideas about survival. This passage shows Ralph would us commonsense, logic and civilized principles to survive through "the world of longing" (what is real) and the "baffled common sense". On the other hand, Jack would use more barbaric strategies such as "hunting" or "fierce exhilaration".

These opposite points of view are confronted during the story as Jack becomes the antagonist and a barbaric leader. While Ralph attempts to be the  civilized leader of the group.

Different types of irony
Reil [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is: situational, dramatic and verbal irony.

Explanation:

The irony is a literary device we use to express certain meanings by using language that signifies the opposite, to indicate a higher negative implication through the positive wording.

There are three types of irony: dramatic, situational, and verbal.

Dramatic irony represents the situation when the audience understands what is happening in a certain situation better than the characters. The best example of this type of irony can be found in Shakespeare's <em>Romeo and Juliet</em> when Romeo dies because he believes Juliet is dead.

Situational irony occurs when some action has the opposite result from what is expected.

For example:

John realizes it's his wife's birthday. He goes to buy her a present, and after buying it, he realizes the birthday was three days ago.

Verbal irony occurs when the speaker says the opposite of what he/she thinks.

For example:

The cousin you hate is coming to see you and you are saying: <em>What a nice surprise</em>!

What happens to Mama’s trust in Walter, as a result of his poor judgment? How does this affect the role he plays within the Youn
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Mama's trust in Walter waned because of his poor judgement.

His role in the Younger family was affected negatively as the other family members rejected him.

Explanation:

Walter was desperate to accept Mr. Lindner's offer of money so that his family, the Younger's family do not move into their own house. Walter was eager to accept this money which mama told him to reject. He became defiant and downhearted as a result of this. His sister Beneatha even said that he was no longer her brother. All of this made Walter feel worse.

However, when Mr. Lindner finally came with the money offer, Walter made the decision to reject the money and move with his family. This made his mother proud of him.

I believe the answer would be apathy because it sounds like she did not care about school any more. She did not even bring a backpack or paper.
Hope you have a nice day.
