In "The Carp," by Yun Wang, the use of the carp to represent something deeper is an example of Synecdoche. The carp is used to represent the pain and injustice of her father’s imprisonment. “The Carp is dedicated to Wang’s father, and many of the poems in her little book tell stories from that period.

Remember, a symbol is an object that takes on a meaning other than its literal meaning.

In the poem, the carp is literally a fish that takes on a deeper meaning. Confucius named his son Carp, and his son died young. The speaker's father was imprisoned and beaten. Therefore, the carp represents sadness and pain.

Throughout the poem, the significance of the carp changes. In the first section, we learn about the 20 pound carp. This symbolizes luck, good fortune and hope. However, the carp turns into a negative symbol when we learn about Confucius's son. He was named "carp," but he died, representing bad luck.

The carp continues to be a negative symbol as the author tells us about how his father was betrayed. We see that those who loved the father but turned against him tasted the carp. Towards the end, the carp's meaning is one of negativity, representing pain and humiliation.

What resulted from the emergence of the Soviet Union and the United States
fredd [130]

US and the USSR emerged as the two greatest powers for two reasons. Firstly, they had plenty of recourses and manpower, and the industry to use them. Both the US and the USSR had lots of factories, so they could turn their iron, coal, steel, and oil into goods. They could also use these resources to rebuild their Nations, although in the case of the US this was not necessary. This bring me to my second point, they were the only ones left. The British were bankrupt and London was in ruins, at the same time their colonies were diserting them, France was bankrupt as well, and was also losing its colonies. In addition France never had the industry or population of even Britian. Germany was being occupied, so that gets them out of the picture. China was in the middle of a civil war, and did not have very much industry. Japan was in ruins, and was occupied. I would add that despite its problems Japan was able to become a powerhouse. There are other reasons, but it would take to long to write

Which part of this passage is an example of ridicule?
marta [7]

Despite the lack of a passage in this question, it is still possible to identify the option containing a subject of <em>ridicule.</em>


The correct answer is: Squealer calls the other animals ignorant.


"To ridicule" means to perform an action that undermines the reputation of someone or something in order to make them/it seem foolish. This is accomplished in the sentence as the subject, Squealer, humiliates the object, the other animals, by calling them "ignorant".
