1. What are some allusion in "Goodbye to all that" by Joan Didion? Explain why it is an allusion.

English
1 answer:
sattari [20]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

1. I read the whole essay and the only allusion that she uses is Xanadu. Joan Didion writes, nobody lives at Xanadu meaning nobody lives in the paradise.

Allusion is a brief and indirect reference to a person, place, thing or idea of historical, cultural, literary or political significance. It does not tell in detail the thing, idea, place or person.

Xanadu is a mitical place. It is located in the north of Shangri La that was introduced in 1933 in the fictional novel Lost Horizon by author James Hilton.

2.- The symbol that Joan Didion uses is that nobody lives at Xanadu that it is paradise on earth for her because New York was appealing to the author even though she was not well paid and didn't have the best food on the table.

Question 1) The answer is A. The description of the mother’s love as “a river” coveys its abundance, and the mentioning that that it’s “inside me still” suggests that it’s never ending. This is especially clear when compared with B and C, neither of which fit the sentence as much as A.

Question 2) The answer is C. The sentence compared the usefulness of the assembly instructions to a camel in the Arctic. A camel, obviously, would not fare very well in a climate like the Arctic. The answer A is possible, but there is nothing in the sentence that suggests that the instructions were specifically not in English. Therefore, it can be most logically inferred that the instructions were not very helpful.

Leto [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Romanticism concerns itself with ideals. Realism concerns itself with more concrete, factual, everyday matters. Romanticism idealizes nature, while realism attempts to address the often harsh facts of nature in a matter-of-fact fashion. The two schools share nearly nothing as common ground

Is there word meaning "Laughing at oneself?"
julia-pushkina [17]
There's nothing really that means exactly "laughing at oneself," as far as I know, but some related words are self-ridicule and self-belittlement, though these have a more negative connotation. Hope this helps.
