Read the excerpt from Act I of The Importance of Being Earnest. Jack. My dear Algy, you talk exactly as if you were a dentist. I

t is very vulgar to talk like a dentist when one isn’t a dentist. It produces a false impression. The main effect of the pun in the excerpt is that it confuses the reader. creates a funny moment. creates a serious moment. explains something to the reader.

I found it somewhat amusing, so I'm going to say it creates a funny moment.

The right answer is that it creates a funny moment. This excerpt is part of a humorous dialogue between Jack and Algernon. Algernon wants to know why Jack's cigarette case bears the inscription "From little Cecily with her fondest love," since Jack wants to marry Algernon's cousin Gwendolen. At first Jack denies knowing anybody with that name. He then says she is his aunt, but Algernon does not believe him, since, as he reveals, the full inscription reads "From little Cecily with her fondest love to her dear Uncle Jack." If she is his aunt, why does she call him uncle? And why does she call him Jack, if Algernon has always known him as Ernest? Jack replies that he has two names, one for the city and for the countryside, but, since he does not explain why his "small aunt" calls him "dear uncle," Algernon finally says: "Come on, old boy, you had much better have the thing out at once." This comment reminds Jack of the way a dentist would address a patient, hence his witty reply.

Write an essay to present an argument that either supports or opposes the decision to award a singer-songwriter the Nobel Prize
stich3 [128]

The Nobel Prize for Literature aims to reward a writer, regardless of his nationality, who has developed a literary work of the highest quality and remarkable meaning that must be disseminated and awarded.

In one of the Nobel Prize for Literature, Bob Dylan, a musician and composer was awarded and had the honor of receiving this award, which generated a great debate within the literary society that presented controversial reasons for this permission. That's because Dylan was not a writer but a musician, causing many not to believe that he should receive an award for literary works.

However, we must not forget that music is nothing more than sung poetry and like all poetry, it must be written with literary devices, correct grammar, coherence, cohesion, rhyme, tone and all the other factors that make up a literary work. . A composer is a writer, and is one of the most notable writers, since the music must convey a sunjunctive message, but full of meaning.

Based on this, we can say that it is impossible to doubt the merit of Bob Dylan and any other composer to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature, since his work is nothing more than a literary work.
