Question

Read this excerpt from "If Anne Frank Only Knew."

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer to the question: How does the author´s use of the word "paradise" affect the passage, would be: It stresses the hypocrisy of North Korea.

Explanation:

"If Anne Frank Only Knew" is an article that was written by CBS correspondent Rebecca Leung and which was published in 2004 under the full title: "If Anne Frank Only Knew... Diary Used to Teach U.S Fear and Hate in North Korea."

The article mainly speaks about the famous Dutch book "The Diary of Anne Frank" and how it is being used by the North Korean regime not as Anne Frank intended it to be used, to proclaim the need for peace and tolerance among peoples and nations through her life´s story as a Jew under the deathly power of the Nazi´s, but rather as a way to make children in North Korea believe that the U.S is like Nazi Germany; an oppressive and cruel regime. The hypocrisy, according to the writer, comes because while these children are being shown that life as they know it in their country is a good one, the truth is totally the opposite of what Korean children know. In reality, this socialist nation uses labor camps, something particular about Nazi Germany, but North Korean people are being taught that their government is a just and good one, while the U.S is evil, corrupt and comparable to Nazi Germany.
