2 answers:

3 0

He refused to sit on the chair that he made because the chairs were made of the hair of the king of Brobdingnag. In the 7th chapter, the King had shaved his hair and Gulliver had weaved the hair into chairs just to satisfy the Queen of Brobdingnag’s curiosity.

Answer: Title: What we all say

One day I woke up from a dream,

Still scared it would seem,

wondering what I want in life,

considering slitting my throat with a knife,

I don't deserve anything here,

to take my own life I fear,

no one understands me,

for my heart, locked away with no key.

I wish someone would hear my silent cries for help,

If I were a vegetable I would be kelp,

No one likes me,

I'm just trying to make you see,

You ask me how I am, and I say "ok",

But isn't that what we all say?

How does alliteration affect the epic poem Beowulf?

snow_tiger [21]

Given that Beowulf is an epic poem, it was orally communicated to the listeners, and alliteration is one of those stylistic elements that have a profound impact on the sound experience. It means repeating of the initial consonants in adjacent words, such as in "The glorious gift God had allowed him" (the sound g repeats, to dynamize and vivify the experience).

In at least one hundred words, explain how Flannery O’Connor uses irony to create dark humor in “A Good Man Is Hard To Find.” Ci

fomenos

In her book, 'A good man is hard to find', Flannery O'Connor works with different linguistic tools to give the story a sense of dark humor. One of these tools, being the use of irony.

The first appearance of this technique is at the beginning of the book, when O'Connor explains the reason behind her grandmother getting dressed for a car ride. "In case of an accident, anyone seeing the dead on the highway would know at once that she was a lady."

The writer then keeps on building the story line around the judgment that the grandmother holds up to everyone she meets. After the car crash and the Misfit makes his appearance, O'Connor writes: ""Listen," the grandmother almost screamed, "I know you are a good man, you dont look a bit like you have common blood. I know you must come from nice people!.""

The irony in this is that the grandmother believes that she can properly asses people based on how they look or act, at first encounter, when in reality the Misfit is a sociopath that is measuring all of his actions to get what he desires.
