Explanation:

If something is ironic it's unexpected, often in an amusing way. If you're the world chess champion, it would be pretty ironic if you lost a match to someone who just learned to play yesterday. Ironic is the adjective for the noun irony. In contemporary speech, when we call something ironic, we often mean sarcastic.

Many people in our society stop reading, or read very little, after high school or even after middle school. Why do you
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Families don't enforce reading enough

Explanation:

Personally, I feel like reading applies to every aspect of your life, even when reading a restaurant menu, you have to read the options that the restaurant has to eat. I feel like this problem lies within families and individuals. In underdeveloped countries, many families do not have enough money to live life so they send there kids to work labor and earn under minimum wage. See, this is why I think that many people in our society stop reading after high school or even after middle school

“The Lottery” is a prime example of a dystopia. For each of the following characteristics of a dystopia, find one example from “
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

The beginning of “The Lottery” doesn’t seem very odd. The people seem relatively normal, the adults are working, yet there is a sense of uneasiness. It soon becomes clear that the “lottery” that keeps getting mentioned is what causes this sense of unease. Yet the reader is still unaware of what part of this lottery is making them uncomfortable, and it starts to become clear that winning the lottery is not a good thing. Slowly the reader puts together various pieces of the story, and it becomes clear what will happen: the winner of the lottery is stoned to death, supposedly to ensure a good harvest. The story becomes darker and darker as one realizes that no one really even knows the origin of the ritual and why it cannot be done away with. It becomes clear that “The Lottery” is a prime example of a dystopia, because propaganda is used to control the citizens, which leads to the freedom of information being heavily restricted. This happens to the point where citizens from different towns rarely speak with one another. One must question why this information is restricted (or rather, has it simply been forgotten?) how it came to be this way, and why the citizens don’t work to change it.

In Walk two Moons what is most likely true about the disapperence of Mrs. Winterbottom
worty [1.4K]
<span>As it turns out, Mrs. Winterbottom leaves to reconnect with a son she gave up for adoption before she married Mr. Winterbottom. She never told anyone about this son for fear of not seeming "respectable." She is very worried about being "respectable," perhaps because Mr. Winterbottom cares so much about being respectable, too.</span>
