According to a different source, this question refers to the play <em>The Diary of Anne Frank</em>.

In scenes 4 and 5 of Act 1, the author is able to achieve a balance between a feeling of suspense in scene 4 with a feeling of sadness in scene 5.

In scene 4, suspense is introduced through the device of Anne's nightmares. We learn that Anne dreamt that her family was captured by the "green police." This nightmare introduces foreshadowing. The author builds suspense by suggesting that Anne's family will indeed be captured at some point.

This suspense of scene 4 is followed by the sadness of scene 5. This occurs when it is time to celebrate Hanukkah in the Annex. In the middle of the celebration, a noise is heard downstairs, which leads everyone to believe that they are about to be captured. This establishes a clear link with the suspense of the previous scene. The reader is able to link this situation with that of Anne's nightmare, thus balancing the two events in his mind. Eventually, the families realize that a robber came in and most likely heard them. They worry about the robber going to the police and informing them of the Annex. As now they are fearful about being captured, the rest of their Hanukkah is a sad affair.

Why did Chopin choose to communicate so much of her theme, or message, through the literary device of irony?
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

<em>Chopin chooses irony as it added profundity to the story and made an immense impact on the readers.</em>

Explanation:

Kate Chopin wrote The Story of an Hour. She used irony throughout this short narration to make insignificant events appear important.

<em><u>For example</u></em>, Mrs Mallard is refereed to have a troubled heart. This was done to exaggerate her behavior regarding different things.  At another incident, Mrs Mallard is described to experience sudden, wild abandonment. This too is a perfect example of irony and symbolism portrayed by the author to make everything appear more heightened than usual.

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

The tiger, a symbol of fearless power, is angry and agonizing because of his confinement, and would much rather be free in the wild. The beast has been turned into a docile creature to the amusement of humans, and the tone in Norris´ poem indicates that it´s a sad situation that should not happen.

Explanation:

"A Tiger in the Zoo" is a poem by George Leslie Norris (1921-2006). Based on his work, Norris would most likely agree that animals have the right to freedom and should not be caged, because his description of a caged tiger reveals his feelings about the matter. All animals have the right to be free, especially when their confinement is only aimed at entertainment in disregard of animals' rights.
