English
1 answer:
Valentin [98]3 years ago
3 0

Tituba's prayer is an example of dramatic irony because she prays to God only to show off to the people.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • Dramatic irony occurs in a play when the audience knows the situation in the play and understands it, but the character doesn't understand the same.
  • The words and the actions of the characters are often contradictory in this case.
  • Tituba is a woman from Barbados who does black magic and she prays to God just to show to the people about her believes in God and is on God's side.
  • But she was the one who did black magic, planned the dance in the forest and conjured the bad souls.
  • Thus, her act is an example of dramatic irony.

Answer:

         On July 19, 1799, during Napoleon Bonaparte’s Egyptian campaign, a French soldier discovers a black basalt slab inscribed with ancient writing near the town of Rosetta, about 35 miles east of Alexandria. The stone contained fragments of passages written in three different scripts: Greek, Egyptian hieroglyphics and Egyptian demotic.

        The ancient Greek on the Rosetta Stone told archaeologists that it was inscribed by priests honoring the king of Egypt, Ptolemy V, in the second century B.C. More startlingly, the Greek passage announced that the three scripts were all of identical meaning. The artifact thus held the key to solving the riddle of hieroglyphics, a written language that had been dead for nearly 2,000 years.

        When Napoleon, an emperor known for his enlightened view of education, art and culture, invaded Egypt in 1798, he took along a group of scholars and told them to seize all important cultural artifacts for France. Pierre Bouchard, one of Napoleon’s soldiers, was aware of this order when he found the basalt stone, which was almost four feet long and two-and-a-half feet wide, at a fort near Rosetta. When the British defeated Napoleon in 1801, they took possession of the Rosetta Stone.

         Several scholars, including Englishman Thomas Young made progress with the initial hieroglyphics analysis of the Rosetta Stone. French Egyptologist Jean-Francois Champollion, who had taught himself ancient languages, cracked the code and deciphered the hieroglyphics using his knowledge of Greek as a guide.

       Hieroglyphics used pictures to represent objects, sounds and groups of sounds. Once the Rosetta Stone inscriptions were translated, the language and culture of ancient Egypt was suddenly open to scientists as never before.

Alik [6]

Name: Tay

Question: Explain Atticus’s comment that “Every mob in every little Southern town is always made up of people you know—doesn’t say much for them, does it?

Answer: Atticus, therefore, bases his definition of a mob on one particular characteristic: "being made up of people." Therefore, Atticus is simply stating that only one thing universalizes a mob, it is simply a group of people. Atticus does this so as to calm the fears of his children, Jem and Scout
