Answer:

Sarcasm indeed can be confusing.

Explanation:

Sarcasm indeed can be confusing to some extent. Sarcasm can be understood as "indirect criticism", what you say manifest exactly the oposite of what you really mean with the comment.

Sarcasm cannot be prevented, it is a very "human" activity due to the high symbolism, and complexities of human interaction, sarcasm is expected to exist in one way or another.

Yes, the continuing comments in the U.S about fake news may have something to do with the country's growingly "autistic" impatience with sarcasm and criticism.

How does the pacing of this passage affect the reader's
Zinaida [17]

This question is about "Animal Farm".

Answer:

The slowing of the pace shows readers the cause of the windmill's destruction.

The slowing of the pace creates suspense for readers about what is to come.

The slowing of the pace gives readers details about the storm and its aftermath.

Explanation:

We often prefer narratives with faster rhythms, but slow rhythms are very important and constitute an important element in the narrative, being able to create suspense and leave the reader motivated and anxious about the events that will happen. In addition, the slowdown can provide explanations about the reason that possible facts occurred and possible elements happened in the narrative, in addition to showing the details of these elements and situations. This would never be possible in a fast-paced narrative where events are shown in a rush and frantic manner.

Examples of effects of the slow narration can be seen in animal farm as follows:

  • The slowing of the pace shows readers the cause of the windmill's destruction.
  • The slowing of the pace creates suspense for readers about what is to come.
  • The slowing of the pace gives readers details about the storm and its aftermath.

Define the word “personification.” Provide an example from one of the following poems:
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

A personification is a literary element used to give human attributes to non-human things. In "A Caged Bird" Maya Angelou writes, "The free bird thinks of another breeze  and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees". Winds don't sigh actually, but a personification gives it the human ability to sigh.
