Wilde is the master of satire and triviality, for good reason. At the end, when all is revealed, he keeps things lighthearted by continuing the jokes, so to speak. Instead of showing the women getting angry, he shows them scheming how to go from there before teasing them and forgiving them. Let us also not forget the entrance of Lady Bracknell, who while imposing, does present an interesting relief from trivialities. Because she's so serious about things, she's comical because you can't take her seriously. She's just one other ridiculous character in a ridiculous play.

2. What effect do Miss Watson's repetitious commands to Huck have on the reader?
Marat540 [252]

Through repetitive commands, the reader understands that Miss Watson is an unhappy woman who does not understand children, as shown in option C.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Miss Watson becomes Huck's guardian for a while, but acts very rigidly, not giving the boy any freedom.
  • She gives orders all the time, expecting Huck to behave like an adult.
  • This behavior shows how Miss Watson does not know how to deal with children and does not understand how to act with them.

This chaotic relationship between Miss Watson and Huck, makes Huck very disobedient, which makes Miss Watson very unhappy and disgusted with the direction her life is taking.

This question is about the book "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn."

THE MATCH

There never was a time when the world was without fire, but there was a time when men did not know how to kindle fire; and after they learned how to kindle one, it was a long, long time before they learned how to kindle one easily. In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble because we can easily get a match; but we must remember that the match is one of the most wonderful things in the world, and that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make one. Let us learn the history of this familiar little object, the match.

Fire was first given to man by nature itself. When a forest is set on fire by cinders from a neighboring volcano, or when a tree is set ablaze by a thunderbolt, we may say that nature strikes a match. In the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark. The first method, then, of getting fire for use was to light sticks of wood at a flame kindled by nature—by a volcano, perhaps, or by a stroke of lightning. These firebrands were carried to the home and used in kindling the fires there. The fire secured in this way was carefully guarded and was kept burning as long as possible. But the flame, however faithfully watched, would sometimes be extinguished. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out. Then a new firebrand would have to be secured, and this often meant a long journey and a deal of trouble.

In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar.

How does the author convince readers that the match was "the most wonderful thing in the world"? Please respond in three to five complete sentences, using evidence from the text to support your answer.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We note the author's intriguing statement at the outset when he said "that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make" a match.

Also, he further highlighted how problematic it was to depend on nature when he said "in the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark".

To express the problems further, the author also says that <em>they would have to guard the fire but the fire would still go out sometimes</em> and then they would have to go on long and difficult journeys.
