One way to fix that sentence is to switch around the two phrases used; 'My mother and father are both scientists' and 'It must have been my destiny to become interested in biology.'
It must have been my destiny to spark an interest in Biology, as my mother and father are both scientists.
That's a way to fix that sentence used in your question.
Also, 'destiny' was spelled incorrectly.
This sentence may seem run on if you don't place a conjunction between the two phrases, or if the phrases are not switched.
If the sentence is to be used with a conjunction, it may end up like this....
My mother and father are both scientists, so it must have been my destiny to become interested in biology.
Or, you may just use a period, to change the two phrases used into two separate sentences.
Like this;
My mother and father are both scientists. For that reason, it must have been my destiny to become interested in biology.
ALSO, as you can see above, I have added a few words to the last sentence. Those three words, 'For that reason', give closure to the two sentences.
Hope this helped!
The example that best describes it is the 1st one; since "dramatic irony" occurs when the audience (<em>readers</em>) understands what's going to happen, and knows about certain characters' actions, or event, and the characters are unaware of it; hence the characters actions go on a different way.
The tactic is used to make the audience more involved; thus it often creates this feeling of being powerless in the readers' mind, to do anything about it.
So the best statement is: "<em>The reader knows that the human neighbors plan to destroy Animal Farm</em>"
Duncan addresses the crowd with "sons, kinsmen, thanes" (1.4), and in his final speech Malcolm repeats the greeting by saying "my thanes and kinsmen" (5.8), the echoing of this address shows that Malcolm holds the same level of respect and care for his people as his father did. He welcomes everyone into his speech--as Duncan did earlier--and makes it clear that he appreciates and respects each of them by increasing their titles. Duncan in the beginning similarly showed his appreciation to Macbeth, Banquo, and Malcolm--by giving more titles to Macbeth, jewels to Banquo, and the title of "Prince of Cumberland" to Malcolm. The way that they handle the traitor (the Thane of Cawdor first and then Macbeth at the end) also is similar. They make it clear that they had trusted those men, but that those who fell into their evil or ran from them will not be punished. This shows more of how caring and kind they are in their position as king.
Malcolm's speech unifies the play in a couple of ways. Thematically we get to see that theme of power, ambition, and fate vs free will come full circle. Malcolm was named next for the throne, and then Macbeth derailed that through the course of the play by trying to take his fate into his own hands. Malcolm's speech as he becomes king shows that his position was inevitable and that power and ambition can only get a character so far before he falls. King was always going to be Malcolm's fate, it just took longer for that to happen.
This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Read the excerpt from "The Storyteller."
"Why weren't there any flowers?"
"Because the pigs had eaten them all," said the bachelor promptly. "The gardeners had told the Prince that you couldn't have pigs and flowers, so he decided to have pigs and no flowers."
There was a murmur of approval at the excellence of the Prince's decision; so many people would have decided the other way.
How does the characterization of the children create satire?
Answer:
The characterization of the children create satire because:
B. They are pleased to learn that the prince chooses pigs over flowers.
Explanation:
A satire exposes the difference between our beliefs and reality. In the short story "The Story-Teller", by Saki, the satire comes from the situational irony presented in the bachelor's story. The bachelor is traveling in a train wagon with three children and their aunt. The aunt tells them a story with the purpose of teaching them a moral lesson. To her disappointment, the children find the story boring.
The bachelor begins to tell a story himself. Unlike the predictable story told by the aunt, his story is filled with surprises and ironic incidents. Instead of teaching kids that they should be good, he teaches them that being too good may be an awful thing. <u>The children's characterization in the excerpt creates satire because they are pleased to learn the prince in the story chose to have pigs instead of flowers. Their reaction contradicts what society would expect of them. It goes against what the aunt - a representative of society - thinks is appropriate. They are not pleased by what is right or good - they are pleased by what is entertaining.</u>
