taurus [48]

Answer:

Mark Twain's observations in his writings made him an undisputed, and for many insurmountable, master of the art of irony.

With a popular and humorous style, Mark Twain contrasts in his works the idealized world of childhood, innocent and at the same time rogue, with a disenchanted conception of the adult man. In his later works, however, the sense of humor gives way to pessimism and bitterness expressed with irony and sarcasm.

Explanation:

Some examples of his ironic style are the following:

"It is stated that German wine is distinguished from vinegar solely by label."

"The new fashion philosophers declare that it is urgent to buy land because it is no longer being manufactured and it is very necessary."

"The new thinkers pose the great need of women for humans because without them there would be very few inhabitants of the earth."

"I, Mark Twain, assure you that if you ban me from smoking in heaven I will retire from there."

"I think if you could cross the human with the cat, it would improve while the human would decay."

"Building walls around a cemetery is a useless expense because those who are inside do not want to leave and those who are outside do not want to enter."

"When I die, I will choose paradise for the weather and hell for good company."

Watch this video of Endurance collapsing. Crew member Frank Hurley captured this footage. How do the tone and representation of

leonid [27]

Your answer should include some of these points:

The scope of the chapter is completely different from that of the video. The video is of a small segment of the expedition.

The video’s mood is gloomy because it shows the destruction of the ship Endurance. Although the memoir describes the three men facing extreme hardship, the mood is less dismal because the men follow their plan with determination.

The video is shot by crew member Frank Hurley, and the memoir is written by Shackleton. As the expedition’s leader, Shackleton’s level of involvement is much deeper than Hurley's.

The tone of the memoir is personal and the point of view is first person. The video is dramatic and evokes shock in the audience.

The memoir is a realistic but emotional description of the trek and evokes both sympathy and hope in readers. The video is realistic and documentary in style.

Solemnly and solemnity both come from the root word solemn, which means “serious” or “joyless.” Why might the author have writte

Leona [35]

The reason why the author might have written the scene with such a serious tone is:

The narrator in "Rules of the Game" knows the importance of being obedient and being "a good girl" in Chinese culture.
Having a Chinese mother, she knows she should answer the Santa Claus's question seriously, solemnly, and so she does. She solemnly replies that she has been a "very, very good girl."

- The narrator in "Rules of the Game,", a short story by Amy Tan, is Waverly Jong, the daughter of Chinese immigrants.

- There is a scene that, although seemingly simple, is described by the narrator with a serious tone:

"[Santa] then solemnly asked if I had been a very, very good girl this year and did I believe in Jesus Christ and obey my parents. I knew the only answer to that. I nodded back with equal solemnity."

- The man who is dressed like Santa is most likely asking such questions to every single child he talks to.

- His solemn tone is probably a part of his role as Santa, to sound as if it matter if the child has behaved or not in order to receive presents.

- However, the question have serious implications for Waverly. She answers solemnly because she takes them seriously.

- Having Chinese parents, she has learned the importance of being obedient and of behaving.

- In conclusion, we can say the narrator uses such a serious tone to show that Waverly, being raised by Chinese parents, understands the importance of being a good, obedient girl.
