This is the story entitled "The Importance of Being Earnest".
Miss Prism's expressing concern for Jack and admiration for his devotion
to his brother are ironic because she knows from the start that Jack’s
pretences of having a brother are eventually real. He then finds out that
Algernon is his younger brother upon questioning Miss Prism at the last part of
the story.
<span>The story is an example of situation irony because the audience did not
expect that Jack has a brother and that it will be Algernon, as opposite to
their expected ending. </span>
Monuments honoring Christopher Columbus are being defaced and destroyed. This year’s
Columbus Day celebrations will spark strong debate over the explorer’s legacy, but by looking
at Columbus in the big picture of history, one can see today’s anti-Columbian fury is either
misguided or part of a blind political agenda to demonize early European activity in the New
World.
First, let’s consider the matter of European disease transmission, principally smallpox, which
is estimated to have killed 70 to 80 percent of Native Americans. While those numbers are
staggering, the deaths happened over many decades. Holding Columbus responsible is
beyond preposterous. Further, calculating an actual number of deaths is impossible because
estimates of pre-Columbus populations vary enormously. In Hispaniola, for example, the range
runs from 250,000 to 3 million.
