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.

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. The wallpaper in the “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman symb
Gemiola [76]
<span>QUESTION 1:  B. The narrator’s mental state.

In “The Yellow Wallpaper,” the wallpaper symbolizes the narrator’s mental state. The narrator actually once describes the wallpaper has having a look like a broken neck and, too, mentions it looks like it committing suicide. The descriptions of the paper get odder and odder with regard aesthetics to eventually what can be interpreted as crazy, and this parallels the narrator’s steady decline into insanity. Because of this parallel, again, the wallpaper can certainly be said to symbolize the narrator’s mental state.

QUESTION 2: B. Feeling of being trapped and her desire to escape.

The narrator of “The Yellow Wallpaper” projects her own feeling of being trapped and her desire to escape onto the woman creeping behind the wallpaper. As the story progresses, the narrator becomes less and less content with her status within the house/room with the yellow paper. As the story progresses, she begins to see a woman in the wallpaper behind what appear to her as bars. Thus, because the narrator desires to escape her situation as does the woman behind the bars in the wallpaper, it can be said that the woman she sees is a projection of feeling of being trapped and desire to escape.</span>
