Summary on the war of the worlds book

English
1 answer:
xeze [42]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:The War of the Worlds chronicles the events of a Martian invasion as experienced by an unidentified male narrator and his brother. The story begins a few years before the invasion. During the astronomical opposition of 1894, when Mars is closer to Earth than usual, several observatories spot flashes of light on the surface of Mars. The narrator witnesses one of these flashes through a telescope at an observatory in Ottershaw, Surrey, England. He immediately alerts his companion, Ogilvy, “the well-known astronomer.” Ogilvy quickly dismisses the idea that the flashes are an indication of life on Mars. He assures the narrator that “[t]he chances against anything manlike on Mars are a million to one.” The flashes continue unexplained for several nights.

Read the excerpt from “ the lady’s dressing room”: the goddess from her chamber issues, array’d in lace brocades and tissues .
snow_tiger [21]

The correct answer is option A ("Sarcastic").

In this short excerpt from Jonathan Swift's poem "The Lady's Dressing Room", we have <u>a couple of clues</u> that clearly enough indicate a sarcastic tone.

Primarily, what I'm looking at is <u>the choice of words</u> from the author:

The woman is not being addressed as a simple human but rather a female deity or <u>goddess</u>. Her struggles (as large as they may seem to her), are somewhat dismissed or mocked by the poet considering that the lady is surrounded by luxury. The mention of <u>brocades</u> also points towards that tonal direction, given that it's a highly expensive fabric most commonly laced with gold or silver.


Hope this helps!
