Sav [38]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

I have to tell you that the comedy is incidental.

I read this when I was 15 with a good case of the measles. It was not good for my eyes.

He wrote both these short stories (Eve's Diary Adam's Diary) on the eve of his wife's death. I don't think they were published during his lifetime but I could be wrong.

What you have to understand is that there was only 1 woman in Twain's life and he came to know the sadness and pain in the marriage vow ('...till death do us part.')

He was overcome with grief on her death. So this is not truly a parody. It is a lament filled with pain and longing. If you do not believe me, read the last paragraph of the extract.

He wrote as he did because Livy was everything to him. He is showing the reality of the woman he loved, but it is not humor in the true sense of the word. He missed her terribly, and he was writing about her absence in the  only way he could. She was (to him) an innocent creature who shared his love.

Eve's diary and this piece are masterpieces of how men feel about the women they love if they are fortunate enough to find such a person. The diary to me then is how Twain educated himself to the great virtue that was in Livy. If ever there was a reality exposed about that love, it is certainly in the last paragraph.

So the question really does not apply. And whoever wrote it does not understand how humor covers up tragedy. We can come to know things through humor, but in the end we are saddened by the clown who laughs but feels deeply burdened by his life.

What is the tone of the passage?
wolverine [178]
"It would," said Sam.
Then the train began to move, and the soldier in the train sank back on his seat, took out a cigarette, and began to smoke. I found he had been twice out at the front, and was now home on sick leave. He had been at the battle of Mons, through the retreat to the Marne, the advance to the Aisne, the first battle of Ypres, and the fighting at Festubert. In a word, he had seen some of the greatest events in the world's history, face to face, and yet he confessed that when he came to writing a letter, even to his wife, he could find nothing to say. He was in the position of the lady mentioned by Horace Walpole, whose letter to her husband began and ended thus: "I write to you because I have nothing to do: I finish because I have nothing to say." The last part could be humorous, but it's mostly conversational

What are the dangers of wrong companies <br>​
Veronika [31]

Answer:

The first danger centres around support and the lack thereof. The most successful companies are generally built around an outstanding commitment to customer care. For example, companies like Apple and Amazon have built their reputation on making sure the customer journey, from initial purchase to after care is spot on.
