The first sentence of "Salvation"--"I was saved from sin when I was going on thirteen"--proves to be an example of irony (Links

to an external site.). After reading the essay, how might we reinterpret this opening sentence?

Answer:

We can reinterpret the opening sentence, because we know that this was the moment when the narrator recognized that he could be spared some things if he acted the way they expected him to act, even if he was lying. This can be ironically reinterpreted, showing that his moment of salvation was actually the moment of perdition and imprisonment.

Explanation:

After reading the text, we can see that the author did not really want to be saved, but was doing what his aunt wanted, to avoid problems for himself. He was not accepting God in a true way in his life, but by keeping and doing what was expected. At that time, the author knew the power of dishonesty and childish corruption, making it an unsaved, but impure, figure.

Write a story ending with the saying "it was a false alarm​
inna [77]

Answer:

It was an average day, my friends and I hanging out in my room playing video games. Just as I made another kill, as always, my mother screams from downstairs. Of course I jump up to see what her matter is, and my friends follow me.

"Johnny, the heater is pluming smoke, it's about to explode! Hurry, out of the house!" my mother exclaims, practically pushing us down the stairs. We all ran as fast as we could out of the house, and after we were a safe distance away, my mom called 911. Soon enough there was a whole fire department outside my home, all of them ready to hose down our house. After a while of nothing happening, a firefighter named Rick went inside to check it out. After a minute, he came out saying that nothing was going to happen, and that it was just steam coming from boiling water and our humidifier. Well, I guess you could say that it was a false alarm. ;)

Explanation:

Just a random story I typed out for you. :)

Westkost [7]
This is a literary technique known as conceit.

A conceit<span> is a kind of metaphor that compares two very different things in a remarkable and smart way. In this poem, the two opposing forces are light and darkness. But still, the author was able to equate them together in a surprising way to relate them both to the theme of beauty.</span>
