How does the alien with the baseball bat contribute to the effectiveness of the political cartoon?

English
1 answer:
Mila [183]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

It uses humor to show that unknown factors keep damaging the probes humans send.

Explanation:

The political cartoon "Mars Probe" by Mike Keefe shows a Mars probe trying to land on the red planet while there are three aliens playing baseball. The one in the middle exclaimed <em>"Get ready! Here comes another one!"</em> to the one with the bat while the third is in the background standing ready to catch anything that hit the bat.

This political cartoon uses humor to show that unknown factors contribute to the damaged condition of the probes sent by humans to Mars.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.

What is the resolution of the story int the happies boy in the world
jeyben [28]


Connor Sephton answered

In the story, The Happiest Boy in the World, by the late Filipino author, N.V.M. Gonzalez, a man writes a simple letter to his landlord, inquiring about possible accommodations for his son. Throughout the story, the father thinks of his son, and of his old landlord, and wonders if the landlord will agree to take on the boy as a boarder, so that he can attend a school in town. The father is very poor, and his mean circumstances grate on him and he puts pen to paper and attempts to beg his old landlord for more charity. 

Memories
Occasionally, as he writes the letter, the father stares over at his young and innocent son, who slumbers by a bag made of burlap. The smells of poverty assail the father's nostrils as he scratches out word after word, trying to say just the right thing. During the writing of the letter, memories of his own experiences with the landlord, who was generous with rice, but demanded twice its value at payback time, pop into his mind, coloring his moods and emotions. All of this time, as he struggles with memoriesand tries to express himself for the sake of his son, his good nature and pure heart are obviousto the reader. 

Hope and faith
After finishing the letter, the father asks a worker to take it into town and deliver it to the landlordpersonally. In time, the father's son grows very curious about the contents of this letter, and he finds a way to sneak off and read it. As he sees what his father is trying to do for him (to give him a better life, and allow him to get schooling that will help to release him from the endless cycle of poverty), he feels a glow in his heart, and soon realizes that he is indeed, the happiest boy in the world. 

However, we are left hanging, since we never do find out if the landlord agrees to the father's proposed scenario. Rustic and beautiful, this very short story has authenticity, and it is quite touching in its own way

klasskru [66]

Answer: She thought of the flour in her kitchen at home--half sifted, half not sifted. She had been interrupted, and had left things half done. What had interrupted Minnie Foster? Why had that work been left half done?

Her eye was caught by a dish-towel in the middle of the kitchen table. Slowly she moved toward the table. One half of it was wiped clean, the other half messy. Her eyes made a slow, almost unwilling turn to the bucket of sugar and the half empty bag beside it. Things begun--and not finished.

Minnie wasn't worried about the things that she should have been worried about.

"Well, I don't think she did," affirmed Mrs. Hale stoutly.
