Answer:
The monk was sent by Count de Guiche to deliver a letter to Roxane telling her about his decision to stay back from the deployment for her sake.
Roxane tricked the monk into believing that she had been ordered by the Count to get married to Christian that instant and thus, led him into the house to officiate the marriage.
Explanation:
<em>Cyrano de Bergerac</em> is a play by Edmond Rostand that revolves around the love complications of Roxane with three different guys. One is her own cousin Cyrano, the second is the handsome nobleman Christian and the last being Count de Guiche. Roxane (Magdalene Robin), the women they are all wooing, loves Christian because of the letters she received from him, though in truth, it was written by her cousin Cyrano.
In scene 3 act X, the Capuchin monk had come to Roxane's home to deliver a letter from the Count to tell her about his stay behind even though his troops had gone for the war (which is not true).
The monk did not know the contents of the letter so Roxane pretended to read aloud the letter and told him that he had been sent to her place to officiate the marriage between Roxane and Christian, the man she loved deeply. The monk ended up marrying the two lovers which was never the motive of the letter.
Answer:
Whenever the author uses the word <em>American </em>with quotation marks, it is to ridicule the Americanized people who started believing they are truly American and decided to leave behind their heritage and history. The author, Anzia Yezierska, talks about how she finally moved to America in order to pursue her dreams, happiness, and financial stability, and started living with and working for a family from the same Polish village she comes from. The family completely forgot about where they come from and pretended they were truly American, or rather "American" as Yezierska would put it.
Through this usage, we can see how quickly the author's thoughts and feelings about the "land of freedom" changed. She moved there in order to earn her own money and finally be happy. However, what she encountered was loneliness, misunderstanding, shame, hatred, inadequacy, etc. which she wasn't hoping for. Therefore, her feelings about America shifted from childish exhilaration towards sad acceptance and ultimately hatred.
Answer:
Chronological order is useful when a writer wants to help readers understand details and connections about the story's events.
In this excerpt we can clearly see the development of Jeremiah's mother. At first, she forbids him of playing soccer but she is torned because she knows that he should be out there playing. Then she is willing to consider it and talk to his coach.
It's a lineal chronological order that allows us to understand her personal and inner conflicts.
