This question is about the article "The Flight from Conversation" by Sherry Turkle.

Answer:

Turkle uses the allusion to strengthen the argument she made in the paragraph.

Explanation:

In paragraph 9, Turkle shows why communication via devices has become so popular in our society. She says that this success is because the devices allow us to have communication as far as we can control. This is because this communication is neither too much nor too little, but it is enough within the standards that we ourselves have established. To emphasize this argument, she uses the allusion to Goldilocks effectively, which explains the tendency of people to like things that are not so simple, but are not so complicated.

Gala2k [10]

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald was born in September 24, 1896 and died in December 21, 1940. He was an American fiction writer, whose works helped to illustrate the ostentation and excess of the Jazz Age. While he reached popular success, fame, and fortune in his lifetime, he did not receive much critical acclaim until after his death. He was Perhaps the most notable member of the "Lost Generation" of the 1920s. Fitzgerald is now widely regarded as one of the greatest American writers of the 20th century. He finished four novels: This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and ...., The Great Gatsby, and Tender Is the Night. A fifth, unfinished novel, The Last Tycoon, was published after his death.

"Winter Dreams" is a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald that first appeared in Metropolitan Magazine in December 1922. It was collected in All the Sad Young Men in 1926. It is considered one of Fitzgerald's finest stories and is frequently anthologized.

sesenic [268]
The correct answer should be - the Byronic hero did not always consider himself innocent.
The Byronic hero is different from other Romantic heroes in that he is aware of his own flaws, as well as the flaws of those around him and the society itself. The Byronic hero is very pensive and indecisive about what he is supposed to do, always wanting to run away, but being unable to do so.
