The phrases or sentences in the above excerpt from Kurt Vonnegut's "Report on the Barnhouse Effect" which demonstrates the use of irony is:

 “The television screens showed, from left to right, the stretch of desert which was the rocket target,”

“Ninety minutes before H-hour the radios announced that the rockets were ready, that the observation ships had backed away to what was thought to be a safe distance,”


Kurt Vonnegut's short story "Report on the Barnhouse Effect" is an example of postmodernism because of the use of irony on a serious topic.

He expresses his feelings about the war with his personal experience. His reaction to the war, bombings and the ills of scientific advancement brought distress in his life. He accepted the deaths as the result of the war in a very casual manner. Throughout the stories, he uses irony and sarcasm to bring the effects of the war in a different look. Using irony and sarcasm to describe serious topics like war and destruction is one of the characteristics of postmodern literature.

In particular, North Koreans and tourists visiting the country are prohibited from criticizing or insulting former leaders, Kim Jong-il and Kim Il-sung, as well as Kim Jong-un, or the state's political system. For example, foreigners, as well as North Korean citizens, should bow and deposit flowers in front of the monuments of the deceased leaders to pay tribute to them.  

As a consequence of it, something visible, is the relationship that North Korea keeps with the rest of the world: Tourism in North Korea is organized by the state agency "Korea International Travel Company" and it is highly controlled by the North Korean government. Due to the traditional isolation of the country, it is not a widely visited international destination and only about 1,500 Western visitors usually visit it per year. Being isolated in times of globalization is a negative aspect for healthy and diverse human development, which is why punishing freedom of speech is something

How did the Elizabethan era affect the performers in plays in England?
Vesna [10]

Answer:

D. Women were not allowed to work in the theater, so all the performers were men.

Quite often, the roles of women were played by young men, so they could at least make it look like a women is presented as a character. This is interestingly also a theme of a famous movie <em>"Shakespeare in love."</em>
