Read the excerpt from Act II of The Importance of Being Earnest. Cecily. [Rather shy and confidingly.] Dearest Gwendolen, there

is no reason why I should make a secret of it to you. Our little county newspaper is sure to chronicle the fact next week. Mr. Ernest Worthing and I are engaged to be married. Gwendolen. [Quite politely, rising.] My darling Cecily, I think there must be some slight error. Mr. Ernest Worthing is engaged to me. The announcement will appear in the Morning Post on Saturday at the latest.
Part of this excerpt would be considered an understatement because

when Cecily says, “There is no reason why I should make a secret of it to you,” she actually does have a reason to keep it a secret.

when Cecily says, “Mr. Ernest Worthing and I are engaged to be married,” she is actually making a joke.

when Gwendolen says, “I think there must be some slight error,” she is actually referring to the large error of Cecily saying she is engaged to Ernest.

when Gwendolen says, “The announcement will appear in the Morning Post on Saturday,” she is not telling the truth.

Describe Josephine March and Meg March from the book Little Women
padilas [110]
Jo additionally adores writing, both perusing and composing it. She creates plays for her sisters to perform and composes stories that she in the end gets distributed. She emulates Dickens and Shakespeare and Scott, and at whatever point she's not doing tasks she curls up in her room, in the edge of the attic, or outside, totally ingested in a good book.

Meg, short for Margaret, is the most oldest and (until Amy grows up) the prettiest of the four March sisters. She's the most typical of the sisters – we think about her as everything that you may expect a nineteenth-century American young lady from a good family to be. Meg luxury, nice things, dainty food, and great society. She's the only sister who can truly recall when her family used to be wealthy, and she feels nostalgic about those past times worth remembering. Her fantasy is to be wealthy once again, and have a big mansion with tons of servants and costly belongings. She's additionally somewhat of a sentimental; when she needs to tell a story to delight her sisters, it's about love and marriage, and Jo begins to suspect at an early stage that Meg may have a genuine Prince Charming in her thoughts. Meg is sweet-natured, devoted, and not in the least flirtatious – truth be told, she's unreasonably great and proper. Maybe that's the reason she's so alarm by her sister Jo's boisterous, tomboyish behavior.

How did the new camp appear to elie in the Night
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer :

The lines "The camp looked as though it had been through an epidemic: empty and dead. Only a few "well-dressed" inmates were wandering between the blocks." from the book "Night" by Elie Wiesel describe how the new camp appeared to Elie.

The new camp that Elie talks about in these lines is the Buna concentration camp where he and his father had recently been brought. The camp appears to him as if it had been through an epidemic as many of the inmates mostly old men and children have been sent to the chimney or crematorium to be burnt alive to death.
