Read the excerpt from act 2 of A Doll's House. Helmer: Krogstad's dismissal. Nora: Call her back, Torvald! There is still time.

Oh Torvald, call her back! Do it for my sake—for your own sake—for the children's sake! Do you hear me, Torvald? Call her back! You don't know what that letter can bring upon us. Helmer: It's too late. Nora: Yes, it's too late. Helmer: My dear Nora, I can forgive the anxiety you are in, although really it is an insult to me. It is, indeed. Isn't it an insult to think that I should be afraid of a starving quill-driver's vengeance? But I forgive you nevertheless, because it is such eloquent witness to your great love for me. [Takes her in his arms.] And that is as it should be, my own darling Nora. Come what will, you may be sure I shall have both courage and strength if they be needed. You will see I am man enough to take everything upon myself. Nora: [in a horror-stricken voice]. What do you mean by that? Helmer: Everything, I say— Nora: [recovering herself] You will never have to do that. What dramatic irony occurs in this passage? Select two options. Helmer thinks that Nora's worry about him is related to his reputation and is a sign of her love for him, while the audience knows that it is the risk she took to get a loan that shows her love. Nora thinks that Helmer will be furious with her for taking out a loan to help him, but the audience knows that Helmer loves Nora enough to forgive her for committing a crime to save him. Nora thinks that Krogstad has written in the letter that she is having an affair, and is afraid that Helmer will find out, while the audience knows that Krogstad has written about the loan. Helmer thinks that Krogstad is angry at Nora, and he wants to protect his wife, while the audience knows that it is Nora who is angry at Krogstad and has inside information about his lies. Helmer thinks that Krogstad's vengeance will be against him, but the audience knows that Krogstad will take vengeance against Nora and her reputation as an honest woman.

The two correct answers are “Helmer thinks that Krogstad's vengeance will be against him, but the audience knows that Krogstad will take vengeance against Nora and her reputation as an honest woman” and “Helmer thinks that Nora's worry about him is related to his reputation and is a sign of her love for him, while the audience knows that it is the risk she took to get a loan that shows her love”. Taken from the three-act play called “<em>A Doll's House</em>” by Henrik Ibsen (1879), in Act Two there are instances of dramatic irony that the reader can easily spot. As regards “<u>dramatic irony</u>”, it is a stylistic device that storytellers use for creating situations in which <u>the audience knows more about the situations before the actors</u>. For instance, the audience already knows that Krogstad will take vengeance against Nora and not against Helmer after being fired by him (<u>First correct answer</u>). Moreover, the audience also knows that Nora’s worry is not about Helmer’s reputation but it is about the risk to have gotten a loan breaking the law by forging her father's name on the loan in order to save her husband (<u>Second correct answer</u>).

When Levy was<br> growing up, why<br> was she "indifferent to Jamaica"?
kari74 [83]

Answer: She was trying to fit in and be as British as possible

Explanation:

In the essay, ''Back to My Own Country'' by Andrea Levy, we are introduced to Andrea's family who had moved from Jamaica to Britain where she was born.

Her family did not want to appear out of place in Britain and so strove to fit in by acting and talking as British-like as they could. Andrea inherited this and tried as well to act British. This led to her being indifferent to her home country Jamaica so much so that she never bothered to tell her friends about it (not that they cared).

netineya [11]
In report writing, or any case of technical writing, you must properly give credit to your resources or references. When you paraphrased the findings of another person, you can cite their work as references in the bibliography. But if you want to retain their statements word for word, you use quotation marks ("). Before doing so, you must use introductory words like "according to", "based on what he said", "and I quote", or any style that you want. 

From the choices, the correct use of quotation would be letter B.

In line 14 of "The Indian Burying Ground," Freneau mentions "arrows, with a head of bone" that are buried with the deceased. The
inysia [295]

An Indian arrow head or “head of stone”, symbolizes the opposite of a headstone namely, the enduring vitality of the dead person’s spirit unlike the cold, engraved memorial for a dead white man. The indians bury them in a sitting position; they think that the dead are with life, in their own world. The Christians, at contrary, buries their dead in an horizontal possiton, like they were resting for the ethernity. The posture we keep to our dead determines how we look at life after death. Death is not end but it is a release for life is seen as bondage. American Indians believe in life as lasting or existing forever it is an ad infinitum process. Christians don't, we believe in Heaven and Hell, and our actions or sins will determinate our destiny when we die.The Indian concept of life after death is quite different from Christian concept that believes in an annual of earthly activities after death.
