Read the passage. A 40-ton creature, spinning around and around in the water, was coming right at my boat. We could hear its fin

s slapping the water with each revolution. The brute exhaled, and salty water sprayed us before it dove again. The sight of its tail flashing past and barely missing the boat sent shivers down my spine. When it came to the surface again, we could have counted the barnacles on its enormous head. What type of animal is the writer describing? A. shark B. seal C. penguin D. whale

A whale. (because of the weight, the fins, the fact that it sprayed salty water and the barnacles on the head)

The answer would be a whale. A penguin is out because it has no tail to splash with. Plus, only a whale would be 40 tons and have barnacles on it.

abruzzese [7]

Each author uses non-English words and figurative language.


The authors uses the words tortillas, pachucos, Oom-pah, and Gorditas. These are non-English words. They also use figurative language. When he says took the "tortillas out of his poetry", he is talking about how he is removing evidence of his Hispanic culture from his poetry. He thinks it will give him a better chance. In the second passage they are talking about overhearing someone who seems to wish for a heritage, not realizing that America has a heritage. The sensory detail of the American trees dangling their branches over his head is used to emphasize this.

What do you think is the theme of “A Journey”? How does Wharton use irony hint at deeper message about life that the author want
Andre45 [30]

The theme of this story may be somewhere in the lines of "live your life to the fullest, don't waste any opportunities".

Wharton uses irony to express and convey this idea of living life and being free. For example, the writer mentions that the woman in the story hadn't had the chance of people envying her wedding presents (while her husband was very sick and in bed rest) This meant that she was more worried about living her life and people knowing she was a newlywed than her husband actually dying.

The story describes how this woman felt life hadn't been fair with her and she only wanted to live life up to its fullest, regardless of her surroundings and what was happening to her.
