Study the cartoon Creating Entitlement Minded Winners by Ed Wilson. How does exaggeration create irony in this cartoon? The larg

e speech balloons create irony because readers expect the son to be an accomplished athlete. The large font size of "wow" creates irony because the reader does not expect anyone to be impressed. The oversized trophies create irony because readers expect that they are for winning, not participation. The colored shirts create irony because the reader does not expect color in the cartoon.

Answer:

C. The oversized trophies create irony because readers expect that they are for winning, not participation.

Explanation:

The large trophies are exaggerated in size as a symbol. They don't usually award those kind of trophies for participation.

Answer: I would contend that the right answer is the C) The oversized trophies create irony because readers expect that they are for winning, not participation.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that irony, which reflects an incongruity (an inconsistency) between what is expected and the actual result, is more clearly created here by representing huge trophies. A trophy is something that someone wins or receives in recognition of a victory, and the reader expects the son to be a true winner, due in part to the fact that the trophies are very ostentatious. However, one of the trophies in the cartoon, in particular, has the shape of a hand with the index finger raised, forming an angle with the thumb, which suggests the letter L (a visual symbol for the word "loser"). This, together with the answer from the father, emphasize the ironic message of the cartoon.

Write a speech on Obesity : A Curse
Alexus [3.1K]

When constructing a speech, the thing to keep in mind is there are three main parts—an introduction, the body, and the conclusion.  In the introduction, you’ll want to have an attention getter that draws the audience in.  One way to do this if speaking about Obesity: A Curse is to, perhaps, mention a shocking statistic or even an anecdote.  Then (think of a speech like an essay where you’ll have a thesis statement), preface the speech by mentioning the three points you’ll discuss.  Then, in the order you mention your three points, discuss the points in one paragraph each for the body mentioning your strongest point last and second strongest first.  After that, with your conclusion recap all of the points mentioned and have a call to action for the audience or even a “what if” scenario if obesity is not addressed.
