Alifa Rifaat's short story "Another Evening at the Club" paints a clear picture of the powerless, inferior role of women in Egyptian society: the main character Samia is trapped in an arranged marriage in which she is repeatedly forced into betraying her own values and beliefs.
For example, when Bey, her husband, says to Samia "Tell people you're from the well-known Barakat family and that your father was a judge," she is obliged to lie about her own family's social status, in spite of how she was raised to be an honest person, just for the sake of making Bey look more important in the public eye.
In the end, Bey forces Samia into the ultimate act of dishonesty: protecting a lie that is causing their servant to be tortured, only to avoid his husband's embarrassment, when he says "By now the whole town knows the servant stole the ring—or would you like me to tell everyone: 'Look,folks, the fact is that the wife got a bit tiddly on a couple of sips of beer and the ring took off on its own and hid itself behind the dressing-table."
As the guest walked into the room they held there nose. Looking around you could see old trash and Ugly stains of a unknown substance.
Form this you would infer that the room would smell bad.
An adjective phrase connects to a noun
An adverb phrase connects to a verb.
1. at soccer.
Adjective Phrase : at what?
soccer is a noun
So I THINK it's an adjective phrase.
When a sentence uses the active voice, the subject of the
sentence performs the verb as in the following sentence:
The boy kicked the ball.
Here we see that the boy is performing the action of
kicking.
When the subject of the sentence has the action performed to
it, then, that is what is called the passive as in the following sentence:
The ball was kicked by the boy.
Here we see that the subject, the ball, was receiving the
action/verb of being kicked.
The rhetorical device used in this sentence is repetition.
Hope this helps =)
