How does the characterization of the children create satire? They are curious about what is in the garden. They are pleased to l

earn that the prince chooses pigs over flowers. They interrupt the bachelor just as much as they interrupt their aunt. They sometimes interrupt because they like the story they are being told.

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>

Prompt: Write a paragraph that objectively summarizes Jonathan Swift’s "A Modest Proposal" and explains his purpose. Based on th
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

To describe the most important ideas in Swift’s essay and explain his reason for writing.

Explanation:

This is the statement that best describes Swift's purpose for writing the essay "A Modest Proposal." In this text, Swift uses satire to describe a revolutionary, but most likely un popular idea: the fact that rich English people should buy poor Irish children in order to eat them. Swift argues that this will reduce the problem of poverty in Ireland. However, the text is a satire intended to criticize the way in which Irish people were abused by the English government.

Read the counterclaim from an argumentative essay.
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The counterclaim given is as follows: Albel Bob Dylan's lyrics are just as effective without musical accompaniment.

The best repudiation for the counterclaim is A) which states that it is impossible to separate song lyrics from the music that accompanies them.

Explanation:

The counterclaim tries to throw weight behind the lyrics to Dylan's songs. There is no problem with this as his songs are incomplete without the lyrics.  

However, to say they (the lyrics that is,) are just as effective without musical accompaniment is to assert that anybody can pick up those lyrics and express how they want (like a poem for instance) and still achieve the same effects they had with the musical accompaniment. This, of course, is impracticable as it in a way diminishes the musical aspect of Dylan's work.  

Some of the awards that Albel Bob Dylan has received include the Presidential Medal of Freedom, ten Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award. As far as history has it, no award has been given to him for the best poem or work of literature.

Awards are recognition of one's efforts. It's away of saying one's efforts meets a certain degree of perfection/standard. The more recognised an award is globally, the more authoritative it is considered to be.

Therefore, to agree with the statement from the counterclaim is to invariably assert that the bodies responsible for recognising superior musical prowess globally (such as the Grammy, Golden Globe and the Academy awards) might have issued the awards to him in error.  Even if one of the bodies did issue him an award in error, it is impossible on, on the balance of probabilities, for same error to be repeated across various organisations several times, over the same constant - Bob Dylan's music.

Cheers!
