This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Read the excerpt from "The Storyteller."
"Why weren't there any flowers?"
"Because the pigs had eaten them all," said the bachelor promptly. "The gardeners had told the Prince that you couldn't have pigs and flowers, so he decided to have pigs and no flowers."
There was a murmur of approval at the excellence of the Prince's decision; so many people would have decided the other way.
How does the characterization of the children create satire?
Answer:
The characterization of the children create satire because:
B. They are pleased to learn that the prince chooses pigs over flowers.
Explanation:
A satire exposes the difference between our beliefs and reality. In the short story "The Story-Teller", by Saki, the satire comes from the situational irony presented in the bachelor's story. The bachelor is traveling in a train wagon with three children and their aunt. The aunt tells them a story with the purpose of teaching them a moral lesson. To her disappointment, the children find the story boring.
The bachelor begins to tell a story himself. Unlike the predictable story told by the aunt, his story is filled with surprises and ironic incidents. Instead of teaching kids that they should be good, he teaches them that being too good may be an awful thing. <u>The children's characterization in the excerpt creates satire because they are pleased to learn the prince in the story chose to have pigs instead of flowers. Their reaction contradicts what society would expect of them. It goes against what the aunt - a representative of society - thinks is appropriate. They are not pleased by what is right or good - they are pleased by what is entertaining.</u>
D: The sentence is purposefully written incorrectly to allow the reader to understand the speaker's upbringing, culture, and education.
A selfless person is an individual that places others needs above their own.
Synonym: Unselfish
Antonym: Selfish
Examples:
- A mother placing her childs needs above her own.
- A doctor performing surgery for free despite not gaining money.
- A cop working overtime to protect the citizens.
- A student picking another student's trash after lunch.
Not sure what you meant but a impetuous person would be like a person with sudden or rash movement great emotion. it's basically like saying their thick-headed that once they have a decision they go straight for it without thinking about it.
<span>B. Then, after we've stuffed ourselves</span>
