“The lottery” "There was a great deal of fussing to be done..." Why would this statement
be considered ironic?
a. the postmaster has on a clean shirt
b. the heads of the family gather
n
c. the box is falling apart and there is never a consistent ritual.
d. Mr. Summer is proper and important.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is B)

Explanation:  

In the 7th paragraph, the writer makes the statement "There was a great deal of fussing to be done before Mr. Summers declared the lottery open."

Fussing here is ironic because in the second sentence of that paragraph, they were going to make up lists of people family heads, and family members, who were supposed to partake in the lottery.

Going by the rules of a lottery, names ought not to be made up. But to be collated as -s from the list of those who ought to partake in it. Going the normal route would have been the actually fussing. But they decided to take a shortcut.

Cheers

What reasons does Jason Reynolds give to show that poetry can change someone's opinion about reading?

Answers

Answer:

1. The amount of words in poetry is less compared to prose and other literary pieces.

2. The rhythm produced from one line to another adds a natural flow to poetry.

3. The small chunks of words at a time helps to make the reading less threatening.

4. The white space left on the pages makes the reading breathable and less choking.

Explanation:

Jason Reynolds, an author explains that the reason why many young people are not being helped to overcome their fear of books is that the teachers and instructors still bombard them with voluminous books, thus adding to their fear. He compared it to a person scared of dogs still being confronted with a Pit Bull or other intimidating dogs.

To solve the problem, Reynolds explained that the less volume of words contained in Poetry can help instill a love for reading in the students. They can enjoy the rhythm created as they move from lines and stanzas. The small chunks of words also makes reading less intimidating.

Review lennox's speech in lines 1-20 of scene 6. What words and phrases in this speech convey an ironic tone?

Answers

Answer:

The phrases that convey the ironic tone are:

My former speeches have but hit your thoughts,Which can interpret farther. The gracious Duncan Was pitied of Macbeth: marry, he was dead.

Explanation:

This question is about "Macbeth" a play written by Shakespeare that shows how Macbeth usurped the throne of King Duncan who was also his personal friend and the consequences that this attitude led.

Lennox's speech is a great example of verbal irony, where Lennox is extremely sarcastic while presenting the hostility he felt towards the nobles who were listening to him.

We can see this sarcasm in the lines:

My former speeches have but hit your thoughts, Which can interpret farther: Where Lennox says that the nobles can interpret his words, however they want, however, he knows that there is only one conclusion and one interpretation of his speech, which means that the nobles agree with all his words. The gracious Duncan Was pitied of Macbeth: marry, he was dead: Where he mocks Macbeth's suffering and grief over Duncan's death. He claims that Macbeth suffered so much for the death of his friend, that he killed him himself, so that he could have a worthy mourning.

How was a school in the 1930’s different from school today

Answers

The number of students being educated was steadily growing in the first part of the twentieth century, but the Great Depression presented many challenges for students, teachers, and schools. During the Depression, many schools faced budget cutbacks, forcing them to come up with creative ways to keep schools running or close their doors altogether. Although education was highly valued by Americans prior to the 1930's, the limited amount of funds changed the way many Americans thought about education — it was a luxury that could not always be afforded. Now the schools from today are high tech, we have high devices in electronics and more! Hope this helps! Mark brainly please!

Explanation:

Segregated schools were common during the 1930's. Although separate schools for black and white children were required under the law to be “separate but equal,” the buildings, classroom supplies, books, and the treatment of students and teachers were most often unequal.

We usually do a fun activity this time of the year for Earth Day. This year our teacher assigned us a class project to help save the world. I wanted to work on something to help families recycle their trash. I started doing my research at the library when I saw a book titled: Save The Sea Turtle: An Endangered Animal. I sat there for at least 15 minutes looking through the beautiful pictures and reading about how the sea turtle was endangered (they are about to disappear/only some left). I read that they would soon be extinct (they would be all gone) if we do not do something to help save them. My heart sank when I read this. That was when I knew what I would do for Earth Day.
I decided to conduct more research on this topic. I found different organizations and decided to write to them to ask what I could do to help. After a few days, I received a call from a lady named Jackie, from Sea World. We spoke for 30 minutes, and she invited my family to visit and learn more about these endangered species. I told my teacher, and she was extremely proud of my dedication to this project. After visiting Sea World and conducting a few weeks of research, I was ready to present my project to my class. I had created brochures, posters, and a presentation to get everyone involved. I even had approval to start the “Save the Sea Turtles Fundraiser” at my school. The most important thing Jackie told me was that awareness would help these creatures and many others that are endangered. Many more people are now aware of these beautiful creatures and will join in the fight to save them.

Why does Elizabeth think that "it should be her privilege to know what the black veil conceal[s]," and why does Elizabeth's "calm energy" change to terror when she tries to persuade Mr. Hooper to remove the veil? Moreover, why does Hooper deny Elizabeth's request and choose to remain behind his black veil, when he could remove the veil and marry Elizabeth instead?

Answers

Answer:

1. Elisabeth believes she has the privilege of knowing what the black veil eschews because she was engaged to the minister and was going to marry him soon. She believes that there should be no secrets between them, since they will be married forever.

2. Her calm turns to terror because while she insists that he reveal what the veil hides and remove the veil, she feels guilty for not trusting him, as well as being afraid that he is hiding something serious it's terrible.

3. Hooper refuses to remove the veil because he believes that Elisabeth must show confidence and loyalty to the man he will marry, in any circumstance.

Explanation:

This question is about "The Minister's Black Veil" written by Nathaniel Hawthorne, where we are introduced to Minister Hooper, who decides to use a black veil that covers his entire face. The minister never removes the veil and the population begins to be afraid of this attitude. Although the minister was an honorable and God-fearing man, the veil makes people see him as sinful, somber and to be avoided. This shows how religious society is judgmental and often hypocritical, even within their religions.
