By Kate DiCamillo
His sister, Merlot, tries to show him how to nibble paper. She takes him to a book and tells him which parts are yummy, but when Despereaux looks down at the page, something crazy happens—he's able to read the words! ... After she leaves, Despereaux turns to the page and starts reading the story.
<span>Plot: A plot is a sequence of events which lead up to a climax, turning point or resolution in literature or movies. The sequence of events are all the various incidents in which the characters interact to the finale.</span>
We need to make sure we know what each of these words mean before we can decide which answer is best.
Satire is the use of humor, comedy, or exaggeration to criticize people's vices.
Irony is expressing your meaning by using language that is the opposite of what you mean, usually for humorous effect.
Dialect is a particular form of language that is specific to a region or group.
Hyperbole is extreme exaggeration.
With these definitions in mind, we can knock hyperbole off immediately as there is nothing exaggerated about the words we're looking at. Satire doesn't quite fit either because it's not obvious or apparent what is being satirized here. Irony also isn't a good choice because what is ironic isn't immediately obvious. Dialect is your best choice because the last part--"a-comin"--implies someone has dropped the g at the end of coming and makes it sound like a dialect.
The answer would be B because the antagonist of the story is the one who opposes someone or something.
