The theme of this story may be somewhere in the lines of "live your life to the fullest, don't waste any opportunities".

Wharton uses irony to express and convey this idea of living life and being free. For example, the writer mentions that the woman in the story hadn't had the chance of people envying her wedding presents (while her husband was very sick and in bed rest) This meant that she was more worried about living her life and people knowing she was a newlywed than her husband actually dying.

The story describes how this woman felt life hadn't been fair with her and she only wanted to live life up to its fullest, regardless of her surroundings and what was happening to her.

Which answer choice best describes how the plot of "All for a Paisa" unfolds? (A) It unfolds in a collection of scenes that sugg
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

(C) It unfolds in a few brief scenes that show readers why the merchant’s wife continues to believe in their son’s capacity to learn and grow.

Explanation:

"All for a Paisa" is a riddle presented in a folklore story with slightly varied versions in different regions and societies.

"Paisa" in the Indian sub-continent means hundredth part of a rupee. It is somewhat like to penny, hence very small/negligible amount of money.

A summary of one of the versions of the story is as follows;

A merchant is unwilling to marry his son because he does not believe in the intelligence and abilities of his son. His wife however speaks favorably about their son, and succeeds in getting a chance for his son from his husband. The merchant in order to test his son's intelligence and capacity to learn gives him one paisa to and asks for buying with this something to eat, something to drink, something to chew, something to plant in a garden, and something as food for the cow. The son by the advice of iron-smith's daughter buys a watermelon which fulfills all the requirements. His father is impressed even after knowing the truth about iron-smith daughter's helping his son. He arranges his son's marriage with that girl.

Option C is correct because the story has few brief scenes.

Option A is incorrect because son's mother thinks very positive about his son's abilities.

Option B is incorrect because the story is not one extended description of just merchant's views.

Option D is incorrect because although merchant's son has average intelligence, but his willingness to go and buy such a thing and his unhappy expression are a sign that he is willing and able to learn.

How does the setting help emphasize that Mrs. Stevenson is alone?
Vlad1618 [11]

I read this play! I loved it!

She stated many times, frantically, that she was alone.

The setting helped by showing her in her bedroom by herself.

I kinda think this may not have helped...

But I hope it did in some way!

Puns were used by shakespeare to explain what?
Dima020 [189]
Puns were used by Shakespeare to explain meaning, to make sense of the world around his characters. If a certain scene in his play was a bit confusing, he would often use a pun, which is a play on words, in order to explain what is happening in more detail. His puns were very clever, and many of them are still used today, without people even realizing how old they actually are.
