Why is the name "Ship-Trap Island" in the short story "The Most Dangerous Game" ironic?

English
1 answer:
lesya [120]3 years ago

There's three different types of irony:

situational irony- an unexpected twist occurs at the end of the story

verbal irony- sarcasm

dramatic irony- the reader knows something that one of the characters do not


I would say that the name "Ship-Trap Island" is dramatic irony because the reader can infer that the main character will be trapped on an island, but the main character has no idea that he will soon be trapped on the island and hunted.

The correct answer is "It uses a specific example as evidence".

Literary evidence is <u>all information used to support a specific statement</u>. In the line given, we don't know exactly what assertion it is supporting. However, <u>we can deduce from the introducing phrase "One of the worst case" that it is presenting a testimonial example to strengthen a bigger theme, using it as evidence</u>. This makes the first option more fitting than the rest.


Hope this helps!

Why is Santiago such a memorable character?
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

Santiago is such a memorable character because he is determined to succeed despite his recent failures.

Explanation:

Santiago is a central character of one of Earnest Hemingway’s novel, ‘The old man and the sea.’ This novel depicts a story of Santiago who’s an old fisherman and who wasn’t being able to catch a fish for 84 days straight.

The reason by Santiago is such a memorable character of the story lies in his determination. Despite being so old and despite his several failures, he continues to go on for fishing. And eventually he was able to catch a big marlin fish. The fish was so big that even his boat couldn’t handle its size.

Santiago’s character depicts that if a man is determined enough to reach his goal, no force can stop him from achieving it.
