An example of how Wilde pokes fun at the upper-class lifestyle is "Algernon says it is hard work to live in this leisurely manner".

In <em>The Importance of Being Earnest</em>,<u> Jack and Algernon are described as wealthy gentlemen</u>. Moreover, they come from important families. In this excerpt, <u>Wilde uses Algernon and his belief that doing nothing is hard work to satirize the upper-class; however, Wilde does not seek to make fun of mere individuals but to make fun of this society as a whole</u>. The author's aim throughout the play is to amuse and to make fun of the Victorian upper class.

How to ask for extension on assignment
ch4aika [34]
I evaluate a student's request and grant extensions based on the following criteria:

1. Their inclinations. Do they always arrive late or procrastinate?

2. When they inquire. Do they request an extension the day of, the day before, or three days before the event? This shows me whether they are well-organized or just looking for an excuse.

3. Their action plan. Do they want a week's worth of work with no specifics, or do they tell me how many pages they need to complete?

Ones, at least excellent teachers, simply want students to learn. Teachers also have a class of kids that can be swayed by a single decision. Being accommodating with one student may require me to be flexible with all of them. This may have an impact on the overall quality of schooling. Teachers will most likely grant you an extension if you are sincere and committed to studying.

Here's an example of something I'd like to hear:

"Hello, Ms. Naomi," I said. Last week, you assigned us a report, and I've been working on it. I became quite interested in the subject and looked into the perspectives of this and that author. It took longer than I anticipated. I'd like to do a thorough job on the report, so a two-day extension would be OK. I have all of the materials, but I need time to organize them, and I estimate that researching this one other author with a different perspective on the matter will take many hours. I understand that this may cause you inconvenience by delaying your grading schedule, therefore I will do my best to make it as simple as possible for you to grade." - I'd offer this person a week's grace period.

Note: This includes your passion for the assignment, what you’ve been doing until now, detailed reason of why you need the extension, an exact time of extension, and consideration of how this extension would affect me.

I hope this helps you

Read this excerpt from Richard Connell’s “The Most Dangerous Game.” Which two emotions does the story’s setting inspire in the r
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

fear and anxiety

Explanation:

hi! it seems like these people are looking for somewhere as well as seem a little lost. it is also nighttime which makes most people afraid because they are afraid of the unknown. i definitly would not say happy because nothing in their tone gives that indication and i would not say angry because they seem pretty civil with each other. that leaves fear and anxiety which i think seem like two emotions anyone would feel in their situation!
