Read this passage from Kurt Vonnegut's “Report on the Barnhouse Effect”: At ten minutes before H-hour the general came in, sheph

erding the professor before him. The professor was comfortably attired in sneakers, gray flannels, a blue sweater, and a white shirt open at the neck. The two of them sat side by side on the love seat. What is the function of this description and how does it influence the development of the characters and the plot in the story? The placement of the characters on the love seat and the professor’s relaxed attire represents dramatic irony and the characters’ uncertainty about future events. The description of the time as “H-Hour” and the general “shepherding” in the professor reveals the seriousness of the impending situation. The contradiction between the general’s seriousness and the professor’s indifference show how Professor Barnhouse is a static character in the story. The professor’s casual attire and the characters sitting on a love seat just before the critical “H-hour” creates an ironic contrast and a playful mood.

In a well-constructed response, explain how Carrie Chapman Catt, the author of “Address to Congress on Women’s Suffrage,” demons
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

constructing her speech into three main parts that highlights the need for women suffrage.

Explanation:

In her “Address to Congress on Women’s Suffrage”, Carrie Chapman Catt uses the rhetorical device of kairos by constructing her speech into three main parts that highlights the need for women suffrage. This can be seen in the beginning of her speech when she mentions "Three distinct causes made it inevitable."

As kairos as a literary device means using balance and decorum in the speech/writing, Carrie makes sure that her speech contain step by step explanation for every objective. She then finally comes to the end of her speech by projecting the listeners and stakeholders of their part in the bringing a change.

Carrie uses the opportunity of kairos to direct her speech to the listeners and statesmen by asking them whether to support women's suffrage or not. This can be seen in the last lines of her speech "Woman suffrage is coming -- you know it. Will you, Honorable Senators and Members of the House of Representatives, help or hinder it?"

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.
