I would say tipped his hat because without it you need a word phrase or else the sentance wouldn't make sense.
Hope this helps! Happy Studying!
Direct characterization is when an author clearly states in the text what kind of personality the character has. For example, if the author writes " Cidney was always sad" That would be direct characterization. Indirect characterization would be " Cidney always seemed to be frowing or pouting" which would then lead you to believe she's always sad. Both of those examples pretty much mean the same thing exept one is direct and the other is making you infer.
i think its "Its irony helps the reader understand that such an idea is not acceptable and isn't meant to be taken seriously."
Answer:
Animals have taught us:
Compassion.
Patience.
We're All Connected.
Humans Aren't as Different as We Thought.
Respect Your Elders.
Responsibility.
Listen Carefully.
Animals have taught us so many things with life and as we can see animals aren't as different as us humans; They've taught us responsibility (some proof on that fact is such as taking care of your young and gathering food for the pack/family/tribe) Listening carefully is also a good one something all animals need to have to survive, they use this technique for hunting, looking out for predators, etc. It is used in everyday life. Patience is something all animals need to help them throughout the day its not all easy to catch a fish with your mouth you know!
I hope this helps you! Let me know if it's wrong!! :)
