In a story Describe what an ironic ending is

English

vodka [1.7K]3 years ago
7 0
Hello Tiffany,

Irony comes in many different shapes and sizes, but the main gist of irony is that it serves as a humorous contradiction.

An ironic ending then, would be an ending that concludes in a way that is different that what is expected, or that directly contradicts a character’s desires.

For instance, if a snail spent the whole story trying to run a one mile track, and then the story ended with the snail getting stepped on right before he crossed the one mile line. This is ironic for two separate reasons; one, because as readers we expect that the snail will finally complete the track, and the twist of events contradicts the ending we formed in our ahead. And two, the ending directly contradicts the snail’s desires and what he has been working for.

9. Which word has a negative connotation?<br><br> standpoint<br> view<br> perspective<br> bias
Serga [27]
Connotation is the emotion that a word incites in someone. It doesn't have to do with the word's actual definition, (denotation) but is very important to its usage.

The words "puppy" and "doggy" have a good connotation, making them sound cute and diminuitive.

The words "mutt" and "hound" have a bad connotation, which makes them sound dangerous.

The words mean the same thing (they have the same denotation) but the sentence changes a lot depending on which one you choose.

As for the examples you gave, "standpoint," "view," and "perspective" are all pretty neutral. (not good or bad) However, a "bias" is a view which is clouded by something, usually personal interest. Note that not only is the connotation of this word different, but the denotation is too.

Which detail from "Tenth Day: Tenth Story" in The Decameron best demonstrates Griselda's stoically patient attitude? She begs he
Luba_88 [7]

The detail that best demonstrate Griselda's stoically patient attitude is She admits that her "lowly condition" is "at odds" with her husband's nobility.

Stoically attitude is about holding serenity even in adverse life situations and in the Tenth Day: Tenth Story even after being through many patient tests from Gualtieri when Griselda is back to her father's house she still admits to herself that with having her both children killed, her marriage ended is her condition the reason of all, adopting then a rational view rather than emotional attitude to her problems.

How does Huck Finn symbolize America
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Few books in U.S. history have been as influential--or as controversial--as "Huckleberry Finn," which traces the rafting voyage of a white boy and the black, runaway slave he befriends. Few novels have been as widely debated or as frequently banned. The book got some new, and this time welcome, attention this week, thanks to a PBS series by documentary filmmaker Ken Burns that looked at the life of Mark Twain. "Huckleberry Finn" not only has survived the efforts to bury it, it has thrived and it has grown as a teaching tool. Innovative high school teachers now use it to talk to students about the imperfect America that forged Twain. They draw the connections between that America and the nation's lingering problems of racism.
