Answer:
This story may well be one of O'Connor's most humorous stories. Even though the story as it now stands appears to focus on the attempts of two equally unscrupulous characters to gain an advantage over the other, O'Connor, through the use of color imagery and somewhat obvious symbolism, manages to make the story more than merely a humorous tale. Yet it is the humor, ultimately, which first catches the attention of most readers.
Some of O'Connor's humor is similar, at least in part, to the tradition of such Old Southwest humorists (1835-1860) as Johnson J. Hooper and George W. Harris. Hooper's Simon Suggs and Harris' Sut Lovingood are both similar to O'Connor's Shiftlet. This is especially true in Shiftlet's "swapping session" scenes with Mrs. Crater. These swapping session scenes are also reminiscent of the Armsted-Snopes exchanges in the fiction of William Faulkner. Each of the major characters in O'Connor's story is aware that he, or she, has something that someone else craves, which slowly increases the apparent value of the offer until the final bargain is struck.
Answer:
D. Mr. White accepting the paw and the resulting tragedy
Explanation:
The word "foreshadow" is an intransitive verb that means to represent something or signify something that will happen, beforehand.
From the passage, the sergeant-major talks about a paw that had a spell cast on it by an old fakir who granted three wishes for three separate people who found it and anyone that tried to interfere with fate would have sorrow to pay for it.
The sergeant-major explained that he got the paw after the first man that found the paw had his third wish to be death. So, the soldier accepted the paw and the resulting tragedy, which was the death of the first finder of the paw.
The answer to this question is hidden within the question
itself. How so? Well, first we need to be aware of what
satire is. What is satire? Satire is when an author pokes fun of (almost
mockingly) the element of a government that the author deems a flaw, failure,
or weakness. It doesn’t necessarily need
to be humorous because humor is subjective, and so for every 10 people who find
something funny, there are 10 other people who find the same thing not
funny. As such, satire is best determined
to be scorn. That said, because we know
satire is scorn for the government, the question is almost self answering in
that satire exists within “Top of the Food Chain” because of how he scorns the
government.
