Explanation:
"Atonement" by Ian McEwan tells the story of the main protagonist Briony and her life during the Second World War. It starts with her younger days till her adulthood, introspecting and looking back at what she had experienced and done that led to her writing of the play "The Trials of Arabella".
In the play, Briony included several ironic events that are reflective of the rel life events that will later be seen in the whole story, her own life story. Arabella was a character in the play that was composed by Briony. But out of the options given in the question, the pirates that Arabella laments as absent are Leon and Paul is wrong. This sentence is not part of the ironic events that Briony will include from her real life events.
Both W. H. Auden and William Carlos Williams wrote ekphrastic poems about Pieter Brueghel's Landscape with the Fall of Icarus. Both poems point out that Icarus’s drowning is ignored or goes unnoticed. Williams's poem uses short groups of three lines and an objective tone. Auden's poem uses longer lines and more description, and it refers to ideas and images outside of the painting. Williams provides a matter-of-fact account of what happens in the painting, while Auden connects the painting to the overall idea of suffering.
possessive nouns show ownership and/or possession, and it helps with narrative writing because it helps to tell the story about the characters and their conflicts or other parts of the story.
