Clever wordsmiths that we are, we often cloak our actions in words and phrases to hide their impact or to mitigate and alleviate

blame. Centuries of divine condemnation have made us very sensitive to the rational or irrational consequences of imagined and real culpability. Blame can put you in jail, take away your rights, deny you an afterlife, or worse-cause you to change your behavior. Which word in the last sentence makes the sentence satirical?

Answer:

Blame can put you in jail, take away your rights, deny you an afterlife, or <u>worse </u>- cause you to change your behavior.

Explanation:

The word <em>satire</em> refers to the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to criticize people or their ideas. For example, politicians have always been easy targets of satire.

In the last sentence, the word <em>worse</em><em> </em>stands out. The narrator says that it's worse if blame changes your behavior than if it puts you in jail, takes away your rights, or even denies you an afterlife. Objectively the change of behavior is the least severe of the listed consequences, but the narrator for some reason says otherwise.

What are some of the common elements a writer uses to reveal information about a character?
gayaneshka [121]
They use adjectives to describe the characteristics of their character, and when using dialogue they'll sometimes have them use witty remarks or have them be more bland based on the personality that hey wish to convey. Also, an author will, after or before dialogue, add an adjective to what they're saying. For example: "I've been there before" Victor, said casually. Or: Ashley yelled "Well you should have known!" punctuation is also a key element in conveying a character well.

The last winter vacation that I spent with my Uncle Jake was the best I have had so far. In the mornings, my uncle and I would g
DENIUS [597]

If the story were to continue, the author would mostly likely discuss, the way the author and Uncle Jake escaped from the bison herd.

Answer: Option B.

Explanation:

The above given excerpt provides details about how the author used to spend his vacation at his uncle's place and the things he used to do over there. As the story moves forward, we come across an incident where the author and uncle Jack have encountered a group of bison. The bisons were coming near them, they were frightened and confused as to what should be done now, and that's when the story ended. So the continued part of the story would most certainly be, how Uncle Jack and the author have escaped the bison herd.

Does the heroic code expressed in beowulf conflict with a christian sensibility?
oksano4ka [1.4K]
<span>That is a difficult one because Christian believes and Beowulf is a matter of interpretation. What one may view as sensibility is actually just a matter of common sense. However, every aspect of life is covered in the Bible and thus to suggest (if this is what you are suggesting) Beowulf is explained taking Christian values into consideration? No. Things were different at that time and thus the perceived sensibility to Christian belief</span>
