Read the following excerpt from a narrative about the Wild West: Mills sauntered into town; dozens of wary eyes regarded him sid

ewise. “Is this Deadwood?” he asked, flicking the safety from his pistol. “Depends on who’s asking,” replied a man lounging in a doorway, a sheriff’s star glinting on his chest. The sun burst through a cloud and flooded the town square with blazing heat. Cowboy Mills tipped his dusty hat, squinting at the sheriff. The sheriff squinted back. “I’m here to take over. Mills is the name.” What revision would you make if you wanted to speed up the pace of events? Why?
A. Remove the dialogue; it would focus the narrative on the setting, which is essential to the events.

B. Remove the dialogue; it would focus the narrative on the potential conflict between the sheriff and Cowboy Mills.

C. Remove the descriptive details about the weather; it would make the conflict between the sheriff and Mills happen more quickly.

D. Remove the descriptive details about Cowboy Mills and his pistol; it would help focus on the events that come next, not the tension that builds to them.

What is ironic about the way that the narrator treats Doodle?
Flauer [41]

Doodle (the baby) is treated in ironic way in many situations in the play "The Scarlet Ibis" by James Hurst. For example, when he is born his mother ask for the building of a coffin for him. This is rare because no mother expects his baby dies. Since the baby does not die, the coffin is stored. Another example of irnony is that "Brother" expects Doodle to learn how to walk and talk before he could be able to do it. Brother thinks this is a way to help his little brother but in the process he pushes Doodle so hard that the young boy dies.

The big irony is that when they expected the baby dies he lived and when Doodle is forced to perform the above mentioned activities, he dies. Probably Doodle would have lived longer if everyone accepted him as he was.
