"For a Lady, I Know" by Countee Cullen uses irony and allusion.

"She even thinks that up in heaven her class lies late and snores, while poor black cherubs rise at seven to do celestial chores."

The allusion is represented by the words Heaven and Cherubs which represent well-known words in the bible and in most religions. These words are emblems of holy and sacred things.

The irony is presented by her position as a high society woman who has black servants and believes that because of her social and economic position she will go to heaven despite de mistreat she has with her employess.

<span>The literary device used in this poem is HYPERBOLE. Hyperbole is defined as exaggerated claims that are not meant to be taken literally. In this poem, the author exaggerated that the lady thinks that social segregation exist in heaven. This is an exaggerated statement used by the author in order to emphasize his points.</span><span />

Answer:

A. There is total government control.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Dystopian society is characterized by futuristic view of the human life where people are under surveillance, state strives to control every aspect of human life and thinking, public information is designed to suit the government`s goals and evil plans, there is no freedom of speech or thinking, nature is destroyed - environmental disasters are all around, every person that tends to be different than others is categorized as an enemy, people are afraid of the world outside of it, there is always a great leader`s cult. Example of dystopian society in literature we can see in George Orwell`s 1984. Basically there is always an oppressive regime limiting freedom.

Answer: Grandpa: 60 Granddaughter: 6

Explanation: When I first saw this, I noticed you can not get one solid whole number with a number like 54, so I rounded it up to 60, because 10 percent of 60 is 6. It IS possible for someone to be 5.4, but with age, not a lot of people care to go down to the decimal point. I then checked the other part. 60 IS 54 years more than 6, so 60 is correct.
