The author used situational irony in the passage. It was ironic that Jeremy wasted all his time studying for a time management test, only to have the text actually be the next week.

Answer:

Situational irony

Explanation:

Situational irony is a literary device that you can identify in a piece of writing when the outcome of a story, or statement, is opposite to what you, the reader, expected. This outcome tends to be whether tragic or humorous. When reading the first sentence of the excerpt, the reader may expect that Jeremy is good with time management, as he spent all weekend studying for it. However, the outcome turns out to be the opposite of that, and becomes humorous at the same time, as Jeremy had mistaken the day of the test!

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer: B. Letty doesn't make a lot of money waitressing.

Explanation: In the given excerpt, we can see the description of Letty's daily routine, where she balances two jobs with the school. From the text, the best inference that we can make, is that Letty doesn't make a lot of money waitressing, because she is in the morning shift, and she says that the early customers don't tip very well, also, she has a second job at a factory, which means she doesn't make a lot of money as a waitress.

Theme is the central message or insight that is revealed through a story. Anyone can find the theme just by analyzing the characters' actions and the consequences of their actions. For example,  If a character's actions help him or her reach her goals, then that action may be viewed more positively by the reader.  In the short story "Rules of the Game" by Amy Tan, Lindo Jong works very hard to impart daily lessons that will ]help her success to her daughter. The actions she used to encourage her daughter is to try to succeed by mastering the art of "invisible strength". Finally based on the characters' actions and the results of their consequences, I believe that the theme is that true strength is calm, patient, and strategic.

Why did S.E. Hinton not give a specific town or date in The Outsiders?
Oksana_A [137]
Ponyboy explains that the greasers rule the poorer East Side of town, while the Socs run the wealthier West Side of town. This oversimplification of the Tulsa setting reflects the characters’ longstanding beliefs that people belong to either one gang or the other, and there is no middle ground. Ponyboy longs to live in a place where no greasers or Socs reside, and he wants to live around “plain ordinary people.” The geographic and social division between the greasers and the Socs doesn’t fade until Ponyboy and Johnny hide out in Windrixville, a pastoral town in the mountains. There, they immerse themselves in nature and spend time reflecting on “the colors of the fields and the soft shadings of the horizon.” In this setting, Ponyboy and Johnny literally shed their social identities when they cut their trademark greaser hair. After saving the children from the burning church, Ponyboy and Johnny become heroes to the Windrixville citizens, solidifying that there exists a setting where they can truly shed their “hood” identities.
