What rhetorical device does Douglass use in this quote?

English
1 answer:
Sladkaya [172]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The rhetorical device used by Douglass in this quote is IRONY.

Explanation:

IRONY is a figure of speech in which words are used in such a way that their intended meaning is different from the actual meaning.

In this case, if being a slave was bad, it was even worse to be a slave of a poor man (Colonel Lloyd).

What insight do we get into Curley's wife's way of life? Do you have newfound sympathy for her?
Sauron [17]

Answer:

From the beginning it was his intention to have her killed by Lennie.

Explanation:

. From the beginning it was his intention to have her killed by Lennie. Lennie has to do something terrible and unforgivable in order for George to decide to shoot him. This is what the story is about: a man kills his best friend out of compassion. Naturally we feel sorry for Curley's wife--but Steinbeck doesn't want us to feel too sorry for her because that would make us feel less sorry for Lennie as well as for George. Steinbeck inserted that memorable scene in which the girl frightens and humiliates Crooks in order to make her seem somewhat less sympathetic. Otherwise she is just an unfortunate, unhappy, very young girl who is an innocent victim of Curley, Lennie, and an underprivileged background. Steinbeck was trying to make the girl seem like a real person, trying to make her sympathetic but not too sympathetic, cruel but not too cruel, immoral but not too immoral. He did not want her to steal the spotlight from Lennie. If we feel too sorry for Curley's wife when she is killed, then we won't feel sufficiently sorry for Lennie when he gets killed; we would feel that he got just what he deserved. That would spoil Steinbeck's great dramatic ending, which was what he was aiming for from the time he wrote the first sentence of his book. Of Mice and Men is George and Lennie's story.

Discuss whether equality in hunter-gathering societies are of any relevance to 21st century society
ra1l [238]
I would say that equality in hunter-gatherer societies has a huge implication for the modern world.

The hunter-gatherer societies were the "original" societies, to which the humans evolved and the finding that the societies were much more egalitarian (both in terms of gender equality and social class equality) means that people cannot claim that inequality is somehow "natural" - it supports the need for equality in the modern world.

This novel begins with Moon Shadow living in the Middle Kingdom with his mother without knowledge of the man who is his biological father. Moon Shadow knows stories his mother has told about his father, but he has never met him because the financial nature of their country has forced many of the men to move to America to make the money they need to support their families in the Middle Kingdom. It is a difficult situation made harder for Moon Shadow's mother when her husband arranges for the child to join him in America.
