Burlesque humor is a literary device which is used to cause laughter. This could be done in many ways: by caricaturing the serious topic or just treating the subjects ridiculously. In English, it has been used since 17th century. Early successful users of burlesque include Shakespeare, Cervantes and Chaucer.  

One example of burlesque in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is Huck's attempt to rescue Jim after learning that he has been sold. The lines "All right then, I'll go to Hell to rescue Jim out of slavery" mention this event. The plan to save Jim is described in a literary manner which is known as burlesque. Tom's thoughts on escaping Jim and the humor alongside with it is a notable example.

Answer:

In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain employs a particular type of satire known as burlesque humor. The word burlesque is an Italian term that means “mockery.” It’s a term that originated in the theater, most notably in the dramatic works of Shakespeare and Chaucer In literature, burlesque refers to ridiculous exaggeration. It describes scenes in which characters are placed in exaggerated situations, providing an opportunity for the author to develop his theme through comedy. A prime example of Twain’s use of burlesque in chapters 10 and 11 is when Huck decides to dress as a girl to find out the latest news from town.

The correct answer is <u>B: Most people are honest enough not to commit major theft.</u> The reason why is because one i did th test but the explanation behind it is that he says in the excerpt that "From Feldman’s perspective, an office worker who eats a bagel without paying is committing a crime; the office worker probably doesn’t think so." in context hes saying that most people are honest and will say they took something small like a bagel, but at the same time they wouldn't think of a bank robbery or something.

That's how I see it, I hope i helped have a great day and good luck with class.

Answer:

The Talking Skull

Explanation:

In Donna L. Washington's "The Talking Skull-A fairy tale by Cameroon," the theme involves how you might be bothered by speaking too much about yourself and talking too loud. In order to teach the lesson, the author utilities the character of the talking skull. A man who sees himself as a philosopher and who speaks and talks about topics that are just essential to him, but who nobody else needs to know, discovers a skull. In other words, the skull responds directly to what triggered her death, "Talking."

ddd [48]

You forgot to mention that this question is about the article "The Flight from Conversation".

Answer:

With the use of oxymoron, Turkle meant that we live constantly alone, but always in "contact" with the people we care about through technology. This statement influences the entire article showing how this ability is affecting our personal relationships.

Explanation:

The article shows how technology has enabled an atificial and shallow form of community. This is because technology allows us to talk to anyone, anywhere in the world, however, this communication does not form bonds and we are always alone.

However, we are alone in a collective way, since all people use this same type of communication. This results in the creation of large groups, which in fact do not exist, are not substantial. As the author of the article says, technology makes us come "a tribe of one."
