In Angela’s Ashes, which sentence in the excerpt does the author most likely use to express humor? Question options: a) “‘Do you
want to know why I’m in the Fever Hospital?’” b) “‘Especially you, Francis, after thousands of boys prayed for you at the Confraternity.’” c) “Diphtheria is never allowed to talk to typhoid and visa versa.” d) “She tells me I better not get the notion she’ll be running up to this part of the world every time I have a little pain or a twinge.”
I believe the best option would be letter C) Diphtheria is never allowed to talk to typhoid and visa versa.
Explanation:
"Angela's Ashes" is a memoir written by Irish author Frank McCourt. The book is known to be filled with humor and anecdotes of McCourt's childhood.
At a certain point, Frank is hospitalized. But, due to his love of literature, he is constantly trying to communicate with Patricia. She is at the hospital too, and she has books with poems that delight Frank. When he is about to find out what happened to the Highwayman and his lover, the nurse comes in and yells, "I told ye there was to be no talking between rooms. Diphtheria is never allowed to talk to typhoid and visa versa." This line is quite humorous for the way it addresses people and diseases. It's as if people stopped being people and became the disease they had. Diseases don't talk; sick people do. But not to the nurse's eyes.
My goal would be to understand the persons point of view while making them understand my point of view. Listen to them and process where they’re coming from and after they made their point hope they listen to my opinion on the situation.
I would say yes, you’re technically not considered “grown” at that age, and you’re still at the point where you wanna hang out with your friends and be children, even at that you could just call it free time if the kids think they’re too old for recess.
The correct answer is the use of black-and-white shadow puppetry in the Balinese production of The Tempest puts more emphasis on the dialogue than on the actors.
