Read the excerpt from "The Storyteller." The child moved reluctantly to the window. "Why are those sheep being driven out of tha

t field?” he asked. "I expect they are being driven to another field where there is more grass,” said the aunt weakly. "But there is lots of grass in that field,” protested the boy; "there’s nothing else but grass there. Aunt, there’s lots of grass in that field.” "Perhaps the grass in the other field is better,” suggested the aunt fatuously. "Why is it better?” came the swift, inevitable question. "Oh, look at those cows!” exclaimed the aunt. Nearly every field along the line had contained cows or bullocks, but she spoke as though she were drawing attention to a rarity. "Why is the grass in the other field better?” persisted Cyril. Which instances of situational irony occur in the passage? Select two options. The aunt expects the boy to look out the window, but he does not. The aunt expects the boy to look out the window, and he does. The aunt expects the boy to accept her explanations, but he does not. The aunt expects the boy to show interest in the sheep, and he does. The aunt expects the boy to be interested in the cows, but he is not.

The instances of situational irony that occur in the above passage are:

The aunt expects the boy to accept her explanations, but he does not.

The aunt expects the boy to be interested in the cows, but he is not.

A situational irony is a form of irony in which the actions have an opposite effect of what it is intended. The outcome of the situation is totally different to what it is expected. In the above excerpt, the answers which the boy gets from his Aunt and the way he deals with those answers are an example of situational irony.

Describe the change in personality that the narrator has undergone the great gatsby
olga_2 [115]
In the beginning of "The Great Gatsby", Nick brags that he is not at all judgmental and is able to understand where people are coming from. This leads him to trusting people and thinking the best of them. By the end of the novel, after he has had so many uncomfortable and unfortunate experiences tangled up in the lives of Gatsby, Daisy, Tom, Jordan, etc, Nick finds himself to be very judgmental of their lifestyle and personalities, especially the Buchanans. He removes himself from their company and becomes more reserved, less trusting.
