8 0

Answer:

Characterization can be defined as the way a writer presents and develops  a character which can be direct characterization or indirect characterization. In "The gift of the Magi" by O. Henry, The statement '<em>He looked thin and very serious' is</em> an example of direct characterization.

Explanation:

The irony of "The gift of the magi".

There is<em> situational irony</em> present in the gift of the magi" Situational irony means that there is a gap between expectation and what happens. This irony is shown in when Della and Jim bought each other gift which turned out to be useless. Jim sold his gold watch to buy Della a set of fancy combs and Della sold some of her locks to buy Jim a watch, This is a clear example of situational irony.

The theme of <em>Love </em>is shown in "The gift of Maggi" Della and Jim have deep love for each other as they were willing to sacrifice their possession for each other.

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Langston Hughes' message about group pressure in "Salvation" is that B. It can cause people to make decisions they could later regret.

Explanation:

Langston Hughes told his story about how he attended a church revival meeting with his aunt when he was 12 years old.

In his memoir, he recalls going for that revival full of faith about God but leaving the place doubting God.

He felt pressured by his aunt to receive salvation at that revival but ends up lying about his feelings and loses faith in God. He was the last person that was "waiting to be saved" and so he lied because of group pressure so as not to "hold up the procession"
