Vonnegut uses satire to expose which societal

English
1 answer:
Tasya [4]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

I believe it's the last one.

Explanation:

One needs to look now farther than the first paragraph to realize that Vonnegut's tale is laced with irony and satire.  The strongest hint is when he mentions that there are over 100 ammendments in the Constitution.  All these ammendments are designed to make society "perfect."  Later on George and his wife Hazel are discussing how George's handicaps, the bags of birdshot tied to his legs, are terribly inconvenient and painful.  Hazel suggests George break a law and remove the bags since he isn't competing against anyone at home.  George replies that if he broke the law so would others and they'd end up right back in the "Dark Ages".  These examples depict there is no such thing as a perfect society.  Equality does not bring about perfection and competition is essential for a thriving economy.  In every society there are winners and losers.  

Sorry if i'm wrong.

SAR NEED HELP PLEASE!!!:How does Emily Dickinson's poetry reflect her perspective of the role of women in society?
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Emily Dickenson wrote about problems and thoughts of women in her time, their struggle to subjugation to men, and marriage. She paints the images of real, honest women, but remains critical of the expectations that are put onto them.

Explanation:

Emily Dickinson lived in the 19th century, during a time in which women had barely any rights and were not supposed to be independent. Women were supposed to marry and live agreeable life in accordance with their husbands.

<u>However, Dickinson was nonconformist, almost seen as rebellious – she wanted independence and never did marry. </u>

<u>This attitude of hers is evident in her poems</u>. For example, in the poem Poem #732 (“She rose to His Requirement”) she writes about the mildness of women who subdue to patriarchy and are intimidated by the dominant men. It is the poem that <u>speaks of the hardship of the women and their status in society.</u> “I gave myself to him” similarly takes the viewpoint of the married woman who bows down to her husband, and paints the marriage almost as the pure financial transaction and the mutual agreement – but also the risk. We do not see much of the gain for the woman, as she talks of depreciation and ownership.

<u>Her poems paint the critical image of the marriage and dominance of the men, and, as such, try to accent the problems of women in society. </u>Indecently, Dickinson does not paint independent, strong women – she rather presents them as mild and regretful, fighting in their sphere, trying to comprehend their emotions. She has produced the real image of women of her time, along <u>with their struggles and inner problems, but she also sends the critical and analytical message that makes the reader think about women’s role and position.</u>

How does Hutchinson’s charge of Puritans living by a “covenant of works” support Elson’s larger argument regarding Puritan law?
MAVERICK [17]
(There was a gleam of truth in the charge of Mrs. Hutchinson9 that the Puritans lived under a covenant of works10. This was because they had not yet fully grasped the whole truth of divine revelation. No further proof of the legalistic tendencies of Puritan worship is needed than a glance at their own laws. A man, for example, was fined, imprisoned, or whipped for non-attendance at church services.) this all what I know hopefully will help you
