Answer: C) “I’m a person who couldn’t ride a public bus when she first arrived, and now I’m someone who watches tractor pulls on obscure cable channels.”

Explanation:

When using satire for humour, one uses ironies, reversals, exaggeration and ridicule in such a way that the situation is funny in its unexpectedness.

In this excerpt, the woman could not do such a simple American thing as riding a public bus but she is now so in tune with American culture that she watches tractor pulls on obscure cable channels.

This reversal in situation shows satire as when she first came to the US, she would not have expected to be doing such things as watching tractor pulls in the future.

Symbols found in the story a sound of thunder
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

  • A sound of thunder is used to represent the T-Rex steps and Travis’s gun. The two things that cause giant turns in the story.
  • The butterfly Eckels kills is easy—the butterfly effect. Also, butterflies represent freedom, a freedom he killed when his actions changed the outcome of the election.
  • The path they’re supposed to stay on is written destiny. It’s the path that needs to be taken in order to get back to their normal lives.
  • The bullets represent the disturbance of the past, and future, all at once.

I hope that this helps you! :)

During the meal at the palace that the beggar/Odysseus attends, Athena inspires the suitors to behave even more poorly than they
Anon25 [30]
Athena is a god who follows Odysseus in all of his adventures, advising and helping him in thousand different ways. In this particular situation, she wants to fuel Odysseus' anger even more, so she entices the suitors' worst traits and attitudes. She wants Odysseus to have his revenge, and doesn't want to risk him getting soft on the suitors. As a goddess of wisdom, she wants the order to be restored, and the offenders to be punished as they deserved.
