Answer:

Situational irony is when the expected action or response does not happen in reality. But, the opposite happens. In the passage: “Most of the aunt’s remarks seemed to begin with ‘Don’t,’ and nearly all of the children’s remarks began with ‘Why?’” is the situational irony.

The points that state the situational irony are:

The dialogues of the aunt and the children are given significance among the other characters.

All the other lines focus on the reaction of the characters after the story is narrated.

There is a sense of opposition between the aunt and the children.

Thus, the uncompromising attitude is conveyed through the word, ‘Why?’. The expectations that the aunt had on the children does not work out.

What is one universal theme illustrated by the character relationships in

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

D. People depend on each other.

Explanation:

Samuel Beckett's one act play "Endgame" tells of an absurd story of a blind protagonist and his power over the other characters who are also helpless in their own ways. This power dynamics among the characters, with the character of Hamm as the most supreme of the four, is evident in his constant need of help from Clov.

Throughout the play, we can see that Hamm depends on his servant Clov for whatever he needed to do. Meanwhile, Clov also have a sense of obligation to his master Hamm who had taken him in when he was alone. This subservient notion is numerously questioned by him but that did not overrun his feeling of obligation to Hamm. Also, the characters of Nagg and Nell shows the dependence of each other for their survival. The couple who re parents to Hamm also had to depend on their son, and Nagg constantly has to "kiss" Nell which seems to him the only thing that keeps him going. All these characters' relationships with one another shows the universal theme of a person depending on each other for their survival.

How does arn mange to "stay invisaible"?

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

Arn manages to be invisible by avoiding interaction as much as he can, and by doing things the Khmer Rouge would like. For instance, when in line for the Khmer Rouge to check people’s skin color, Arn rubs dirt on his face so he will look darker like one of them. That kept him a bit more invisible and alive for another day. He also uses this trick to make sure people who know him do not interact with him. A personal discussion could also lead to your death.
