Why is it ironic that Pip's benefactor is the convict?

English
1 answer:
kramer3 years ago
3 0

Answer: Pip, despite all of his snobbery and finery, got his fortune from a class of person Pip disdains and shuns.

Explanation:

In the book, <em>Great Expectations </em>by <em>Charles Dickens</em>, Pip Pirrip believed that his benefactor was a Miss Havisham and that through her, he had become engaged to Estelle. He strives to become an improved person so that he may join the upper classes of society where Miss Havisham and Estelle seemingly belong.

He was therefore shocked when he found out that his benefactor was indeed a convict named Abel Magwitch whom Pip had been kind to when Pip was younger. This was ironic because Pip in his quest to join the upper classes, looked down on people like Abel and yet it was those kind of people that were funding him.

QUESTION: How effective is the argument? How does Elizabeth Warren use valid and sufficient
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The argument is very effective. Elizabeth Warren uses valid and sufficient evidence by specifying numerous ways by which the act will put an end to discrimination while preserving justified differences in pay.

Explanation:

Two pieces of quoted evidence from "Why Equal Pay is Worth Fighting For" by Senator Elizabeth Warren dated April 17, 2014, supports the effectiveness of the answer. Warren says:

<em>"The effects of this discrimination are real, and they are long-lasting. Today, more young women go to college than men, but unequal pay makes it harder for them to pay back student loans. Pay inequality also means a tougher retirement for women. . . . For middle-class families today, it usually takes two incomes to get by, and many families depend as much on Mom's salary as they do on Dad's, if not more. Women are the main breadwinners, or joint breadwinners, in two-thirds of the families across the country, and pay discrimination makes it that much harder for these families to stay afloat." </em>

<em>"Employers can still pay different workers different salaries based on factors like skill, performance, expertise, seniority, and so forth—the Paycheck Fairness Act doesn't touch any of that." </em>

Throughout the argument, Warren has pointed out the reasons and effects of this pay discrimination based on gender. She has also explained how employers should and can pay the employees various wages based on certain justified factors and not gender.
