Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
"How does a comparison of Maui and his brothers create a comical tone in the passage
?
One of the most common stories of Maui found throughout Polynesia is related to how he pulled up islands from the ocean floor. There are several versions of this fable applied to different islands depending on their natural make-up. For instance in Hawai’i Maui pulled up the islands by tricking his brothers into paddling their canoe with all their might to haul up each island which he had hooked using a great and magical fish hook called Manaiakalani, telling them it was a massive fish. He repeats this trick for each island.
"
Answer:
The passage shows us a comic tone showing how Maiu was smart in deceiving his brothers.
Explanation:
The excerpt manages to add a comical tone to the narrative because we can see how Maiu tricked his brothers so that they could do the heavy lifting of the activity that Maiu himself wanted to do. This "deception" shows a small joke between brothers that makes reading funny and allows the reader to perceive a comical tone, making the narrative more fun.
Revision involves: C-clarifying purpose and meaning.
Sure! So, for starters, you want to compare and contrast two things that are similar, not very different. For example, you would compare and contrast reading a book to listening to an e-book, and you would not compare and contrast reading a book to ridding a bus.
so, for an example of this:
Reading a book is the same as listening to an e-book because both ways you are getting the same information. Reading a book and listening to an e-book are different because reading needs, you guessed it, reading, but you don't need to read to listen to an e-book.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Carl Sandburg's poem “Grass” is an unusual war poem in that it personifies grass. In the personification, the grass directly addresses the reader, placing the human perspective to the side. For example, Sandburg writes, “Pile the bodies high at Austerlitz and Waterloo. / Shovel them under and let me work -- / I am the grass; I cover all.” Grass, like human beings, is abundant, and from the perspective of grass, human life seems unimportant, and is therefore dismissed. This personification acts as a metaphor for how humans are treated in war.
Explanation:
Top of the Food Chain is about how horrible the human race is to one another and to other living beings. Poison was used to get rid of the mosquitoes they had. That didn't work so they brought in geckos, that died from the poison because they ate the mosquitoes. Then, some cats ended up eating the dead geckos which made the cats die. The whole process caused rat infestation. So the people brought in more cats to resolve the issue which made the cycle start all over again multiple times.
