Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

It foreshadows Tom’s departure from his family at the end of the play.

Explanation:

By going out to the fire escape and smoking, Tom is choosing to distance himself from his mother and sister. His mother frowns upon his excessive smoking, and his sister is afraid for his safety and well-being when she sees he is constantly unhappy. His further alienation from them and the rest of the world by going to the movies continuously only solidifies this argument.
I also have taken a unit test on the book and got this one right, if that convinces you any more. Good day everyone!

Answers

The last two options show sentences where the desperation tone of the story is highlighted.

The sentences are:

"Marin, under the streetlight, dancing by herself, is singing the same song somewhere. I know. Is waiting for a car to stop, a star to fall, someone to change her life.""Minerva is only a little bit older than me but already she has two kids and a husband who left. Her mother raised her kids alone and it looks like her daughters will go that way too."

What is the tone of a story?

The tone is the feeling conveyed from the text to the reader. In the sentences selected above, we can see Marin being desperate with her situation, to the point of staying on the streets hoping that anything will happen and change the way she lives.

This can also be seen in the sentence where the narrator shows how families cannot get rid of unpleasant situations due to a lack of resources and opportunities, causing daughters to have the same difficult life as their mothers and to be trapped in these uncomfortable and desperate situations.

Which excerpt from O’Connor’s “Good Country People” best reveals the irony of the main character’s name, Joy? Mrs. Hopewell thought of her as a child though she was thirty-two years old and highly educated. She would make these statements, usually at the table, in a tone of gentle insistence as if no one held them but her. And when Joy had to be impressed for these services, her remarks were usually so ugly and her face so glum... She saw it as the name of her highest creative act.

Answers

Answer:

b edge 2022

Explanation:

The excerpt from O’Connor’s “Good Country People” best reveals the irony of the main character’s name, Joy "when Joy had to be impressed for these services.... reply. Thus, option C is correct.

What is the theme of “Good Country People”?

In 'Good Country Folks,' Flannery O'Connor explores a number of issues. Themes are the major themes that are covered in a tale. Identity, love, life and existence, religion, education, society, and class are all topics in this novel. This narrative is a satire on the deceptive nature of self-identity.

The following paragraph from Flannery O'Connor's "Good Country People" clearly demonstrates the irony of Joy's name:-

When Joy had to be convinced to give these services, Mrs. Hopewell would remark, "If you can't come politely, I don't want you at all," to which the girl would answer by standing upright, stiff-shouldered, and with her neck thrust slightly forward. Hence, option C is correct.

Answers

c because their opinion and feelings matter and makes them who they are

Character's perspective is their opinion or feeling about an event or topic. Thus, the correct option is C.

What is character?

A character in fiction is a person or other object that appears in a story. The distinction between a "real" and "fictional" character may be made depending on whether the character is wholly imaginary or is based on a real-life person.

A type is a person who serves as an example of a particular class or group of people. Both generic characters and completely customized ones fall under the category of types.

In fiction writing, authors use a variety of techniques to develop dynamic characters. Characters are occasionally conjured from imagination; other times, they are developed by enhancing a genuine person's character attribute into a fresh fictional creation.

The person they know, a historical figure, a current figure they haven't met, or even oneself might be used by an author or creator to base a character on a real person. The latter is either an author-surrogate or an example of self-insertion.
