Explanation:
Rip Van Winkle is an exaggerated American myth. The author Irving incorporated several characteristics into it.
The protagonist Rip falls asleep just to wake up about 20 years later. He had become old when he woke up and he discovered that things were already different.
Myths and legends were used to convey this short story, the characters are set in the distant pastor in an almost non existing past. These characters were all exaggerated.
The story has a positive message about a nation and it's citizens. These characteristics are parts of what makes the reader to love the story.
Five prominent examples of irony that builds tension in the story are:
- Elizabeth wants Proctor to testify that the accusations are false, but she is unaware of his role in the situation.
- Elizabeth gets mad at Proctor because he says he was alone in a room with Abigail. However, she does not know that the two were in fact having an affair.
- When asked to say the Ten Commandments, Proctor forgets the one that forbids adultery. This is ironic as this is the commandment he violated.
- Mary brags about the fact that she is keeping Elizabeth out of jail. However, Elizabeth is charged because of the doll that Mary gives her.
- Even though Mary works for Proctor, and he is more powerful than her in every way, she is able to defy him by accusing him of lechery.
All of these examples tie to Miller's purpose for writing <em>The Crucible</em>. In these examples, we see that Miller wants to highlight the power that the girls were able to achieve in a community that does not respect them or takes them seriously. This leads to irony because it is a situation that neither the readers nor the characters were expecting. Moreover, Miller is able to show how the web of lies and deceit that the characters are weaving will eventually lead to tragedy for all of them.
Answer:
The statement which best explains how Jack's motivation leads to a conflict is:
A. Jack's preference for activities other than his sculpture project causes him to disappoint his art teacher.
Explanation:
According to the passage, Jack had a couple of excuses to not do his art work. First, the basketball practices, then the chores. Let's say Jack did not have a choice concerning the practices, after all playing a sport may be a big deal in his student life. He might, for instance, hope for a sports scholarship when he goes to college. However, we cannot say Jack did not have a choice concerning his chores. He could very well have spoken to his parents and told them he had an important art project to work on. It is very likely that they would have allowed him to go work on it instead of do chores. Why didn't he say anything then?
We can assume that Jack would rather do other things than work on the art project. If that weren't the case, he would have tried harder to find the time for it. Now, his teacher is disappointed, and Jack will certainly be in trouble. With that in mind, we can choose letter A as the best option:
A. Jack's preference for activities other than his sculpture project causes him to disappoint his art teacher.
