Read the passage from "Marriage Is a Private Affair” by Chinua Achebe. This passage is a conversation between a father named Oke

ke and his adult son, Nnaemeka. In the passage, Okeke speaks first.
"Whose daughter is she, anyway?”

"She is Nene Atang.”

"What!” All the mildness was gone again. "Did you say Neneataga, what does that mean?”

"Nene Atang from Calabar. She is the only girl I can marry.” This was a very rash reply and Nnaemeka expected the storm to burst. But it did not. His father merely walked away into his room. This was most unexpected and perplexed Nnaemeka. His father’s silence was infinitely more menacing than a flood of threatening speech. That night the old man did not eat.

When he sent for Nnaemeka a day later he applied all possible ways of dissuasion. But the young man’s heart was hardened, and his father eventually gave him up as lost.

"I owe it to you, my son, as a duty to show you what is right and what is wrong. Whoever put this idea into your head might as well have cut your throat. It is Satan’s work.” He waved his son away.

Which statement best describes how Nnaemeka challenges patriarchy?

Nnaemeka insists on marrying Nene even though his father immediately threatens him.
Nnaemeka respectfully asks Okeke's permission to marry Nene.
Nnaemeka says that he will marry Nene against Okeke's wishes.
Nnaemeka is so angry that he refuses to let Okeke eat.

Analyze Pope and Swift's pieces under the context of Juvenalian and Horatian satire. What are the differences? Your answer shoul
Arisa [49]

The two forms of satire are Horatian Satire and Juvenalian Satire. The first kind of satire employs mockery as its primary devices and accompanies adoration for the people being mocked. While, on the other hand, the second type of satire conveys an indignant tone and harshly ridicules its subject of satire.

Pope’s magnum opus The Rae of the Locke is the best example of Horatian satire. This wonderful creation by Pope conveys the style of mild mockery and indulgence in the society. In this epic poem, he parodies social shortcomings that accompany most of the individuals in the social world. His tools expose the absurd and foible attributes that prevail in within humanity.

Moving on, The Modest Proposal by Swift exemplifies the harsh, sneering satire of the second type. In this work of art, Swift acts directly on the menace he dislikes. He conveys his ideas by being outrageous and deplorable in his statements and suggestions in the book. For example, he mentions in his book that some individuals would be utilized as food in Ireland, which shows his direct and offensive approach in writing.

To conclude, the difference in both writers’ style is their approach to the readers, in which they present their thoughts, is obvious. While Pope utilizes mild tone and mocks gently, Swift acts like an indignant satirist with a direct revolutionary advancement of statements. Both portray all the needed attributes of Horatian and Juvenalian satire, respectively.

Explain how the use of specific poetic devices makes “Counting Small-boned Bodies” satirical.
marishachu [46]
<span>"Counting Small-Boned Bodies" is a short poem of ten lines and, as its title suggests, plays upon official body counts of dead Vietnamese soldiers. The poem's first line, "Let's count the bodies over again," is followed by three tercets, each of which begins with the same line: "If we could only make the bodies smaller." That condition granted, Bly postulates three successive images: a plain of skulls in the moonlight, the bodies "in front of us on a desk," and a body fit into a finger ring which would be, in the poem's last words, "a keepsake forever." One notes in this that Bly uses imagery not unlike that of the pre-Vietnam poems, especially in the image of the moonlit plain.</span>
