Answer:

Satire.

Explanation:

Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales: General Prologue" gives the introduction of the pilgrims and their appearances, their vocations and their history. The narrator used this prologue to give a glimpse of the pilgrims to the readers.

In the General prologue of the tale, one such character is the pardoner. A pardoner is someone who is licensed to sell indulgences or relics of a religious belief. This pardoner is more of a trickster for he deceives people and works for his own gain. Thus, the use of the word "paragon" for the Pardoner is ironic in the sense that a paragon is someone or something that is regarded to be perfect or a model example of excellence. Far from this is the character of the Pardoner. It is satiric for the Pardoner is exactly quite the opposite of what a paragon is.

Thus, the use of the word "paragon" by the writer Chaucer is to show the satire in the characterization of the Pardoner.

What happens when Chris/Alex drives the Datsun into the Lake Mead National Recreation<br> Area?

Georgia [21]

Answer:

McCandless had driven his car to the Lake Mead National Recreation Area in July, and against posted regulations, had driven it off road in the park and had pitched a campsite. A few days later, flash flooding almost washed away his campsite, and his car’s engine got so wet he couldn’t get it to start. Because he wasn’t supposed to have driven off-road, he couldn’t get help from the rangers, and so he left the car with a note saying whoever can get the car to work can keep it.

I need 3 paragraphs of a compare and contrast of The Fall of the House of Usher and House Taken Over (If you can add an intro an

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The location was comparable in Edgar Allan Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher" and Julio Cortazar's "House Taken Over," because they both took place in a scary house. In Poe's story, though, the backdrop is a frightening, almost abandoned home. Cortazar's setting, on the other hand, takes place in a large, spotless house. Gothic literature is a type of literature that is set in the past, usually with a character who dies and a scary tone. The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allen Poe is a good example of Gothic literature since it depicts a guy visiting an old friend and seeing the deaths of his companion and his twin sister.

Because Iirene and her brother hear odd noises and are terrified by them, they leave portions of the home and never return until they have fully left the house in Julio Cortazar's " House Taken Over." “We didn't stop to look around; I grabbed Iirene's arm and forced her to run with me,” says the narrator. This scenario illustrates how Irene and her brother heard weird noises and assumed the worst, fleeing from something unexpected. As a result, “The House Taken Over” is an example of Magical Realism since it features an unnatural power that exists on Earth and interacts with ordinary individuals like Irene and her brother.
