Which excerpt from O’Connor’s “Good Country People” best reveals the irony of Joy’s name? Mrs. Hopewell thought of her as a chil

d though she was thirty-two years old and highly educated. Joy would get up while her mother was eating, and before long, Mrs. Freeman would arrive at the back door. Another was: that is life! And still another, the most important, was: well, other people have their opinions too. She would make these statements, usually at the table, in a tone of gentle insistence as if no one held them but her. [A]nd when Joy had to be impressed for these services, her remarks were usually so ugly and her face so glum that Mrs. Hopewell would say, “If you can’t come pleasantly, I don’t want you at all,” to which the girl, standing square and rigid-shouldered with her neck thrust slightly forward would reply. . . . She saw it as the name of her highest creative act. One of her major triumphs was that her mother had not been able to turn her dust into Joy, but the greater one was that she had been able to turn it herself into Hulga.

The following question refers to Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift. Which sentence describes the culture group interaction be
astraxan [27]

It is possible to argue that the sentence that best describes the culture group interactions between Gulliver and the Brobdingnagians is that they are kind to Gulliver but do not treat him as an equal. Despite the fact that he was taught their language by a nine years old girl - Glumdalclitch - who stood ¬not above 40 feet tall, being small for her age" his conversations with the King proves that the Brobdingnagians consider humans in general as below themselves, the King consider the English particularly "the most pernicious race of little odious vermin that nature ever suffered to crawl upon the surface of the earth". The king also scalds Gulliver when he tries to o interest the statesman in the use of gunpowder.

They find human institutions way below their own and they do not favour too much interaction or contact with humans, their laws are simple and straightforward, contrary to most human institutions; they value reason over emotions and it can be said that they are a race of mathematicians, being also profoundly interested in poetry and literature.
