Sitting on the porch swing with her eyes closed and her headphones on, Ana saw her mother leaning out of the kitchen door. Her mom gestured for her to remove her headphones and said, "I'd like you to complete your homework before you begin lounging around this afternoon."

"I just need a break, Mom," Ana replied.

"There may be time for a break later, but algebra needs your attention now," insisted her mother as she turned and headed inside.

With a deep sigh, Ana removed her headphones. She reached for her discarded backpack, wishing she could have just a little unstructured time.

Which of the following literary techniques is used in this excerpt from Gwendolyn Brooks's poem, "The Truth"?
"Though we have wept for him,
Though we have prayed
All through the night-years-
What if we wake one shimmering morning to
Hear the fierce hammering
Of his firm knuckles
Hard on the door?
Shall we not shudder?
Shall we not flee
Into the shelter, the dear thick shelter
Of the familiar
Propitious haze?"
allusion
irony
dystopia
hyperbole

Answers

Answer:

Irony

Explanation:

Irony is a literary device where what was expected to happen differs from what actually happens. This device was used by Gwendolyn Brooks in this poem above because even though it was expected that people had longed for the truth and were expected to embrace it when faced with it, the opposite seemed to be the case for they ran away from the truth. This can be further narrowed down to Situational Irony because what was expected to be the case was actually not what happened.

Which is an example of a paradox within the excerpt?

And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which, as they kiss consume:
the sweetest honey / Is loathsome in his own deliciousness
Therefore love moderately; long love doth so;

Answers

Answer:

the sweetest honey / Is loathsome in his own deliciousness.

Explanation:

A figure of speech which is produced when two contrasting statements are combined to produce a somewhat puzzling or absurd superficial meaning. However, when researched may prove to hold or be true.

In the excerpt above, a paradox could be picked in the statement ;

"the sweetest honey / Is loathsome in his own deliciousness"

Here, honey as popularly known and described here as sweet, then still regarded as loathsome, which means repulsive.

Hence, Loathsome in deliciousness, that is repulsive and delicious seems very contradictory atleast superficially.

A dreadful night of my life essay

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

I still remember that dark and gloomy night. it was raining heavily outside. As I was scared to sleep alone in my room, my mother stayed with me till I fell asleep.

Then suddenly a strange noise woke me up. I found myself alone in the room. I gathered courage and opened my eyes to look through the window. The only thing I saw was a strange shadow dancing near my window with its eyes wide open. I started screaming with fear.

My parents came running to my room and found me crying. When they asked me, I told them about the strange noise and the shadow.

After listening to my story, my father looked out the window and started laughing. He hugged me and holding my hands brought me near the window. I was still very scared to look through the window.

Gathering courage, I opened my eyes and looked. What I saw, made me laugh too. It was the old tree outside my window. Its branches were making the noise because of the strong winds outside, and its leaves were forming the dancing shadows. As for the eyes, they belonged to an owl sitting on the tree!

I felt very foolish. I promised my parents that I would be braver and stronger in future.
