Jack. May I ask you then what you would advise me to do? I need hardly say I would do anything in the world to ensure Gwendolen’

s happiness. Lady Bracknell. I would strongly advise you, Mr. Worthing, to try and acquire some relations as soon as possible, and to make a definite effort to produce at any rate one parent, of either sex, before the season is quite over. Jack. Well, I don’t see how I could possibly manage to do that. I can produce the hand-bag at any moment. It is in my dressing-room at home. I really think that should satisfy you, Lady Bracknell. –The Importance of Being Earnest, Oscar Wilde
In three to four sentences, explain how this passage uses humor to critique Victorian views about the importance of family.

Sample Response: Jack is concerned with making sure that Gwendolen is happy, but Lady Bracknell is concerned only with whether Jack can prove he has important family members. Lady Bracknell’s response is ridiculous because it is impossible to expect Jack to miraculously find one of his parents. Jack’s offer to produce the handbag as a suitable substitute for his parents highlights how ridiculous her request is.

To be born, or at any rate bred, in a hand-bag, whether it had handles or not, seems to me ... possible, and to make a definite effort to produce at any rate one parent, of either sex, before the season is quite over. Jack. Well, I don't see how I could possibly manage to do that. I can produce ... It is in my dressing-room at home.

How does the tone of the poem Siren Song change from start to finish?
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Overall the tone is intimate, ironic and confessional. It's as if the speaker is whispering to the reader, drawing them ever closer in, just as the song does with the sailors in the ancient Greek myths

Why, in spite of his practical objections, does Huck go along with Tom's crazy plans for the escape?
soldi70 [24.7K]
Huck goes along with Tom's crazy plans because he wants to be noticed and missed. He also doesn't want to let his friend down or disappoint him.

Help me guys :) I need good answer :)​
alexira [117]

Answer:

I think frozen is about a young girl with a lot of responsibilities placed upon her

she also has a power which can be dangerous to people around her but has to keep it a secret.

all she longs for is rest, and when she lost control over her abilities and caused chaos, the responsibility of taking care of a whole kingdom was taken away from her and even though it was a bad occurrence, it was a blessing in disguise for her.

I have no reasons, it's just my opinion
