The correct answer is A) Mr. Shiflet has just deceived an old woman for personal gain and yet he does not think he’s part of the “rottenness of the world”.

<em>The option that best describes the irony of the excerpt is “Mr. Shiflet has just deceived an old woman for personal gain and yet he does not think he’s part of the “rotteness of the world”. </em>

Lucynell is deaf and mute, and her mother give Mr. Shiflet money to marry Lucynell. Mr. Shiftlet accepts the money and marries her. They go to their honeymoon and abandon Lucy and then it comes to his mind that “he felt that the rottenness of the world was about to engulf him. He raised his arm and let it fall again to his breast. He prayed: ‘Oh Lord! Break forth and wash the smile from this Earth.”

We are referring to the short story “The Life You Save May Be Your Own” written by Flannery O’Connor that can be found in the book “A Good Man is Hard to Find” (1955).

In what way does Mirikitani’s “Attack the Water” compare to Muriel Ruckeyser’s “Poem”?
Amanda [17]
Mirikitani's "Attack the Water" relates to Rukeyser's "Poem" because they both focus on what civilians experience during wartime. "Attack the Water" describes the struggle of Vietnamese people living during (and after) the Vietnam War, and of Japanese-Americans in the era of Japanese Labor camps. "Poem" reflects on the struggle of people living during both of the World Wars, trying to get by and to get through such a tragic time. Both of these poems show that even when people are not involved directly in a war, war can still have an immense impact on their lives.

Your boss, Jane Smith, has suggested changing the time off policy to allow employees to use their 15 days in any way they want,

Dear Ms. Smith,

I have read your new proposal for the workers' free days policy. After analyzing it, I consider that the extension and freedom in the use of our free days is excellent. Many times we get sick and decide to stay at home resting but then we have to do many medical procedures to prove our illness on the days we did not attend, with the new policy, workers should not be worry about getting medical notes when they are sick, this is really an advantage because it will allow us to rest peacefully.

About taking two consecutive days off is a great idea, many times the workers want to take a couple of days off to make small trips or to do some personal matters but we are embarrassed to ask for two days of rest in a row, so we prefer to wait until the weekend or wait until it is vacation time.

Although the proposal is very beneficial for the workers I think it is necessary to create some regulation parameters. For example, no more than three workers from the same department should take their two consecutive days off the same day as this can be counterproductive and generate a workload on other workers.

Also, although workers have the freedom to take a personal or sick day it is necessary to inform the head of the department as soon as possible in case there is any work that must be completed that same day, in this way the work that worker should do that day do not delay the work of others.

In conclusion, I believe that the new time off policy for workers is excellent and can improve the work performance of workers if it isregulated correctly. I hope that my answer will be useful to help you establish this new policy.


Best regards,
