In at least 150 words analyze Hemingway’s choice of not giving the male character a name ?
Anna11 [10]
I'm not sure what you read or what this question is really about, but I'm guessing the answer would have something to do with him making the character relatable and applies to everyone who reads it. Maybe the reader is able to see some of themselves in the traits of the character?

Papessa [141]

<u>Answer:</u>

Imagery has been vividly used in this excerpt. The light and dark have been used in symbolizing the good and evil things in that order Gandalf is the white that stands for good deeds. When Galadriel gives Frodo the Phial, this symbolizes the light that came during the darkest time.

The black rider stood for evils and everything that Mordor had covered with the blackness of shadowy. Each time Naqul passed near the overhead, the sun and moon became black.

arlik [135]

Answer:

d. He states that sending children to the butcher would be as simple as "roasting pigs."

Explanation:

Jonathan Swift was an English writer, critic and poet who had also greatly written about the political issues of his society and time. The essay "A Modest Proposal" was anonymously published by him as a form of critiquing the impoverished nature of the Irish people and their economic troubles.

The excerpt from the essay shows Swift suggesting sarcastically that poor families should produce children and then sell them as meat for the rich. He implies that this will not only give an endless supply of food (meat) for the rich to entertain their guests but also provide a steady source of income for the poor people too. This will enable the balance in the economic situation of the Irish people.

An understatement is the presentation of something that is serious in a far less serious manner. This makes the issue seem less serious or less important. Swift uses an understatement when he stated that sending children to the butcher would be as simple as "roasting pigs". Sending children to be killed and eaten as meat is a serious and horrifying thing to do, but he compares it to a simple act of "roasting pigs", thus making it an understatement.
