How is satire used in "Top of the food chain"?

English
1 answer:
Leto [7]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Boyle's tone in Top of the Food Chain can be called over-the-top, meaning there is a certain contrast between the confidence of the speaker and the actual meaning of his words. In exposing what the character is saying, readers are able to see how ridiculous the words and meanings are that are being spoken, making the person speaking look stupid and impossibly arrogant, but the speaker cannot see this because of a blind-spot of defensiveness and thinking all his actions are "right" and "with good intentions."

Compare Zaroff’s and Rainsford’s point of view on the hunt. How does this tension contribute to the moral stakes of the story?
stiks02 [169]

Answer and Explanation:

<u>Zaroff and Rainsford are characters in Richard Connell's short story "The Most Dangerous Game". The whole story revolves around what is moral and what is not, as well as the characters' ability to empathize with others.</u>

It is interesting to notice that Rainsford and Zaroff are more similar than they are different. They are both skilled hunters who also happen to be quite arrogant about their profession. Both fail to empathize with their prey. However, this is where the difference begins and ends.<u> Rainsford hunts wild animals. </u>He does not think of a jaguar's feelings when he fires his gun to kill it.

<u>Zaroff, on the other hand, hunts men. </u>He knows very well he is hunting rational beings like himself. But he does not care. He sees the men he hunts as inferior to him, just like Rainsford sees the animals as mere huntees. Yet, <u>Rainsford is incapable of condoning with Zaroff's behavior and perception. To Rainsford, what Zaroff does is pure muder.</u>

<u>This tension and the conflict this difference generates are what advances the plot. Both hunters have similar views, only one of them has taken it to the next level. Is only Zaroff wrong? Are both of them murderers? Is Rainsford a better men simply because he has a different sense of moral when it comes to other human beings, but no moral when it comes to animals? Thus, the moral stakes of the story make us wonder and question the characters.</u>

If a playwright chooses to reinterpret a traditional story she will most likely
GenaCL600 [577]

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

In contrast to the horrific Indian Removal Act, the Indian Reorganization Act and the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act aimed to correct many of the mistakes made during the nineteenth century. The Indian Reorganization Act passed in 1934 and gave Native Americans the right to open businesses and created a system through which Native Americans could have access to vocational training and credit. The Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act was even bigger, as it granted tribes the right to govern their own territory (limited tribal sovereignty) while still giving them access to federal money.
