In "A Raisin in the Sun" by Lorraine Hansberry, when the Youngers receive an insurance check of $10,000 from Mr. Walter's death, each character sees it as an opportunity to obtain their own dreams. The insurance check symbolizes false hope in achieving those dreams.

What examples of irony does Saki use to create satire? Check all that apply. Bertha feels lonely. The pigs ate the flowers. Bert
anzhelika [568]

Examples of irony that Saki uses to create satire would be options C and D. Option C is irony because Bertha felt sad that she was not going to be tempted, usually you're not sad over temptation, and for Option D it was mentioned that pigs were more important than flowers which is a bit ironic because usually that would be said the other way around.

I hope this helps! Have a good day

You have just finished a lesson that discussed the philosophical argument of Kate Chopin’s “Story of an Hour.” Her philosophical
yarga [219]

There's plenty of evidence in the story that arguments her point of view. The irony in "Story of an hour" is a good example of how women were treated and expected to behave. She was thought to be depressed and sad about his husband's death but she's actually happy and cheerful about the good news of his death. Although she feels joyful, she can't understand her feelings because she knows she's not expected to feel that way. Another good example is the ending, everyone thinks she died because of joy at seeing his husband alive but in fact, she may have died from a heart attack because her happiness only lasted for an hour. Society's expectations and pressures on women are still a present issue. Beauty standards, gender roles, and the fashion industry are just a little few examples of how society shapes women's lives. Social media, propaganda and the fashion industry show women of a certain race, age and body type. They just stick the beauty standards and these tell women how they should be in order to have beauty, but it doesn't encourage them to love themselves as they are.

Another example is the thought that a woman without a husband is miserable and incomplete. Her family thinks that he's destroyed because her husband should be her whole world but actually she doesn't care about being lonely at all, she just thinks about her freedom. The society's pressure for getting married has changed a bit but it differs in many countries and societies. However, it is still a present issue that women are not taken seriously when they said they won't get married or have children. They are thought has selfish because of having a different perspective and plan for their lives different from the one everyone expects them to follow.

Which of the following is an action taken during the editing process? A. Replacing specific examples with general statements B.
Mrac [35]
In my opinion, the answer is D, varying sentence lengths. Meaning that you should have simple, compound, and complex sentences, and vary them. Because you should always have specific examples, not general statements. Cliches should be avoided. And paragraph indentation isn't the crucial element in a paper.
