Derek was doing his homework on his computer one night when he saw an ad banner for a free Playstation 9000. He clicked on the a

d with great interest and was taken to a webpage with details about the offer. It seemed simple enough. All he had to do was post some content to his social networking pages and complete a few offers. Derek didn't really approve of the content that he was required to share, but he really wanted the new PlayStation so he shared the required links with all of his friends and family. Then Derek began completing the offers. The offers were organized into three tiers or parts. According to the website, he had to complete three offers in each tier and then he would get his PlayStation for free. So, Derek started completing the offers in the first tier, which required him to create accounts on a bunch of websites that he had no interest in joining. He completed the first tier in a couple of hours and he was really getting excited about getting a free PlayStation 9000. The second tier required Derek to become a member at more websites and to get three of his friends to sign up for the program. Signing up to the websites was pretty easy (though time consuming), but getting his friends to participate in the program was much harder. Most of them warned Derek that he was falling for a scam, but Derek finally found three 7th graders who agreed to participate. Derek was excited! Unfortunately, the third tier required him to convince his parents to sign up for satellite TV service, change their phone service provider, and get approved for several credit cards. Derek finally did what he should have done from the beginning and walked away from these offers.

In two or three sentences, explain what dramatic irony is and in what way Ulysses’ entering his own palace as a beggar is an exa
pishuonlain [190]

Answer and Explanation:

<u>Dramatic irony is related to a situation in which the audience knows and understands something that the characters themselves don't.</u> In the epic poem "The Odyssey", the main character and hero Odysseus finally arrives home after years journeying back from the war in Troy, but his palace has been taken over by suitors trying to marry his wife. Odysseus is then disguised as a beggar by the goddess Athena.<u> This is an example of dramatic irony because no one knows that beggar is in fact the owner of that palace, not even his own son and wife. Odysseus, a wealthy, brave man appears to the characters completely changed when it comes to his looks. But his heart and mind are the same, and he soon claims his island and family back</u>.

Note: Since you only need two or three sentences, feel free to ignore or change the summary in the middle of the answer.

Remember that aesthetic is refered, in simple words,  as the theory of beauty. It is used a lot in art, in this case literature. To fulfil it's purpose some questions are asked. For example: What makes things beautiful? or Which elements contribute to it's beauty and how?

As you can see, this a very complex concept, philosophers, artists, and intelectuals continue debating on it's elements and characteristics. In this case we are talking about an aesthetic impact, that means a feeling that is inspired by the beauty of a story.

My answer would be: B. A woman who grew up poor strikes it rich with an innovation that helps others.

I chose this option because of the previous story that can be infered. We can infer she had a difficult time growing up, fighting against a lot of obstacles. Knowing that in the end she was able to overcome all that with the characteristic that she did it in a way she is helping others, makes the reader feel satisfied as he had joined her in her experiences through the story.
