English

Monica [59]3 years ago
8 0

Answer and Explanation:

Mark twain presents the serious and sad moments in this story in a playful, ironic and demonstrating way that the result of these terrible moments led to situations so surreal that he could only find grace in them and mock them with much sarcasm.

Sarcasm is primarily responsible for Twain's humor in this work and can be seen at various times, even when he irks a man's motto, as can be seen in the paragraph below:

"Presently, when things began to look dismal again, a desperado killed a man in a saloon and joy returned once  more. I never was so glad over any mere trifle before in my life. "

How does the fault in our stars title relate to the story relate ti the book?
34kurt
Hello!

The title comes from a line in one of Shakespear's plays.
"The Fault in Our Stars" is kind of like another way to say "our really bad luck". I believe the title relates to events that take place in the story. Events such as Hazel getting cancer, Augustus getting cancer and having his leg amputated, and Gus' death.
Of course, Hazel and Gus didn't cause the cancer - it just happened. Although they went to the doctor and for treatments frequently, they weren't able to avoid it. Nor were they able to avoid Gus' death.

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

The deaths gave support to critics who believed that women were not mentally or physically able to be good pilots. After Quimby's death, the New York Sun said, "As a rule, they lack strength and presence of mind and the courage to excel as aviators." (lines 124-125) Amelia Earhart pointed out that companies didn't want to hire women pilots because even minor accidents received a lot of publicity .
