Read the line from “Hills Like White Elephants” and answer the question.

<em>“Would you please please please please please please please stop talking? </em>

Question: Hemingway is known for his spare writing style.<em> </em>What does his use of repetition most reveal about Jig?

Options:

  • It highlights the anger Jig feels toward the American.
  • It implies Jig will remain when the American boards the train.
  • It shows Jig’s strong desire to end the topic of conversation.
  • It suggests Jig’s wish to end the argument they are having.

Answer: The correct answer is: <u>It shows Jig's strong desire to end the topic of conversation.</u>

Explanation: Ernest Hemingway wrote the short story ''Hills Like White Elephants”. It opens with an American man and his girlfriend. They are sitting at a table outside a train station in Spain, waiting for a train to Madrid. The American man mentions that he wants his girlfriend “Jig,” to have an operation. It is never specified what kind of operation but the American mentions that things will be fine afterward and that it will fix their problems. He emphasizes how much he cares for Jig; however, she mentions that she doesn't care about what happens to herself. They argue for a while until the girl gets tired and asks the American the following: “Would you please please please please please please please stop talking?'' Hemingway uses repetition to reveal Jig's strong desire to end the topic about the operation and her decision of whether or not to go forward with it.

I would assume it shows Jig’s strong desire to end the conversation, since he is pleading with the person to stop it.

In his 2012 State of the Union Address, President Barack Obama said:
wolverine [178]
When Obama says " Last year, we relied less on foreign oil, than in any of the past sixteen years" he is using persuasion. He is persuading the listener by appealing to their sense of being independent from having to get oil from some of the foreign countries that we were at war with. When he states "A strategy that's cleaner" he is appeasing the people who are environmentalists and who want to do what they can for the planet. He also manages to intrigue the common working man by stating that the country will be "full of new jobs."

When doing a multimedia presentation, what might you prepare in advance in case the equipment fails during your presentation?
guajiro [1.7K]
When doing a multimedia presentation, the thing that one might be prepared about in advance in case the equipment failure during presentation is to keep giving the speech and using the chalkboard to provide the visuals. This will keep the people interested in listening without caring about the failed instrument.
