What is the effect of the following description from chapter one: The windows were ajar and gleaming white against the fresh gra

ss outside that seemed to grow a little way into the house. A breeze blew through the room, blew curtains in at one end and out the other like pale flags, twisting them up toward the frosted wedding-cake of the ceiling, and then rippled over the wine-colored rug, making a shadow on it as wind does on the sea.

Answer:

- Engross the readers in the narrative and pose the lighthearted tone by using descriptive diction and expressive imagery.

Explanation:

As per the question, the effect or impact that Fitzgerald wishes to create through the given description is to engulf the readers in the plot of the story and establish the tone that would provide the readers with a specific perspective to view the text and feel about it.

He employs descriptive words like (frosted wedding-cake, wine..colored rug) along with the vivid imagery (like pale flags, gleaming white..fresh grass') that assists the readers to visualize and experience themselves being present in the room and connect to it effectively. Along with that, he combines the natural with the artificial reflected through the invoking images of breeze('blew through the room') and grass('seemed to grow'). The flowy composition of sentences and the words like 'fresh and rippled' connotes a cheery and blithe tone.

Why is creon the antagonist in the play antigone
Alinara [238K]
Because he stands between the protagonist and her goal. Creon is the force that Antigone goes up against. Hes the kind of antagonist that's really stupid and is not well-liked. He treats Antigone badly.

What is one way in which irony surprises the reader? by emphasizing relationships by not fulfilling expectations by not creating
Vanyuwa [196]
The answer is 'by not fulfilling expectations'. The other options don't really surprise the reader, and if the plot is going into one direction, and then what you'd expect to happen doesn't actually happen, you are surprised, and the element of irony is achieved.
