Answer:

A.

Explanation:

The irony that Mary Shelley used in the passage when Felix teaches Safie English was the choice that he makes in choosing the book "Ruins of Empires" by Volney. The book speaks about the "slothful Asiatics" about the wars, etc.

While Felix teaches English to Safie, the monster also learns the language. and while learning language he also learns about the vices of humans to each other. Another irony we can find in the text was that the monster is by name monster but in nature, humans are monstrous because of the deeds that they do with each other.

The correct option is A.

Answer:

dialogue is character conversations

Explanation:

Alice, is not repelled by wonderland, instead she is astounded by it.

make sure the thing she says supports the idea that she likes wonderland

conversations with mad hatter for example.

what effect did lincoln have on douglass's life? in what respect did douglass carry on lincoln's work?
Nookie1986 [14]
Lincoln affected Douglass's life, as he always looked up to Abraham and his ways. He had always felt very strongly about abolishing slavery, especially when having the chance to talk to Abraham Lincoln about taking an act on finally abolishing slavery. (I apologize for the repetition! I honestly have no clue about this. Hope this helps! :) )
