Answer: B) It creates humor in that the son of a justice of the peace would find manual labor a more satisfying career.

Explanation: an irony is a state of affairs or an event that seems contrary to what one expects and it often has an amusing result. In the given excerpt from "Life on the Mississippi" by Mark Twain, we can see an example of an irony in the fact that the speaker is the son of a justice of the peace (that was a very respected and important career), but he finds a manual labor (like being a stemboatman or a cabin-boy) more satisfying.

What effect does Stephen Crane achieve by repeating the phrase "the sacred cheese" in the short story "The Open Boat"?
Karolina [17]

Answer:

  1. A.) The crew's determination to realize their slight chance of reaching land.
  2. C.) compares the men to mice who must struggle to survive but have their efforts go in vain.

Explanation:

"The Open Boat" is normal for Crane's naturalistic style. Naturalism in writing is a point of view that frequently underscores the material, the physical condition as a determinant in human conduct.  

In "The Open Boat," one of the best short stories in the language, Crane depends on tone and symbolism to depict the cold blooded detachment of nature. The popular opening line, “None of them knew the color of the sky,” sets up a quick dreariness, a world drained of the emotional value of color. The sea is described as gray and the only green, suggestive of hope, is that of the land that the men cannot reach.
