In <em>The Giver</em>, we encounter a community that stores all its memories in the person of "the giver." The purpose of holding memories in this way is that the memories are not a burden for people anymore. Instead, they become the responsibility of a single person. However, if the person leaves the community, the memories reattach to people. In one instance, the old receiver was released, and afterwards, the community was flooded with memories and feelings that they had never experienced before.

Which of these sentences from the short story "the yellow wallpaper" by charlotte perkins gilman uses verbal irony?

vodomira [7]

Hi. You did not present the answer options, which makes it impossible for your question to be answered. However, when searching for your question on the internet, I was able to find another question exactly like yours, which showed the answer options present in the attached image below. In that case, I hope the answer below can help you.

Answer:

It is so hard to talk to John about my case, because he is so wise, and because he loves me so.

Explanation:

Verbal irony refers to a moment in the text when the narrator or character speaks something contrary to reality. It is possible to see this in the sentence above because the narrator says that her husband loves her and cares a lot about her, but this is not true, since "The yellow wallpaper" tells the story of a woman who, when presenting symptoms of emotional exhaustion, was locked away by her husband who began to "paint" her as a crazy woman and acted in a way that made her more dependent and out of touch with reality.

choose a topic based on what you read in act 2 or act 3 of romeo and juliet. then write a thesis statement.

Alekssandra [29.7K]

In Act II, Scene III, of Romeo and Juliet, Romeo visits Friar Lawrence and declares his love for Juliet. He then asks the Friar if he will marry them:

I’ll tell thee as we pass, but this I pray:

That thou consent to marry us today.

The Friar is shocked that Romeo wants to marry Juliet because he claimed to be madly in love with Rosaline, a silent character in the play. In fact, Romeo was quite love-sick and it was the Friar who tried to convince Romeo to let Rosaline go because she did not reciprocate his feelings. The Friar then goes on to scold Romeo because he did not want him to abandon his love for Rosaline only to go on to fall in love with another woman. However, when he realizes that Romeo is serious about Juliet and that she reciprocates his feelings, he agrees to marry them. He also recognizes that this marriage is an opportunity for the two warring families to be reconciled:

For this alliance may so happy prove

To turn your households' rancor to pure love
