A few lucky actors and musicians have achieved the utmost zenith of fame. Those lucky few achieve success and recognition through sheer good fortune or by using their talents. Regardless of the origin of fame, performers thrive on constantly being in the public eye. The public interest spurs on performers' success. However, fame does come with a price. Stars often yearn for privacy in their public world. Those who value their privacy find that protecting their personal lives from the media is a true task. Rabid fans yearn to learn more about their favorite stars, and the media seeks to provide more information. Therefore, famous performers must find their own balance.

Based on the passage, which of the following is an example of irony?
A.
A performer believes that protecting his or her personal life from the public is a chore.
B.
A performer gains loyal and supportive fans if he or she demonstrates some talent.
C.
A performer relies on being in the public eye for success but still yearns for privacy.
D.
A performer achieves success by using his or her talents instead of depending on luck.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C.  A performer relies on being in the public eye for success but still yearns for privacy.

Explanation:

The irony is when what happens is contradictory to what is expected or wanted. In other words, the irony is a rhetorical device that occurs when what one expects and wanted does not happen but rather, the contrary/opposite happens.

In the given passage about performers, the irony is that they rely on public opinion and the public's support for their success as performers. But then, they wanted privacy and to be away from the public. So, this is a complete irony in that while they desire the public for their success, they also yearn for privacy.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

Answer:

Awesome poem. This poem is about making choices in life that will determine your future. The person in the poem comes to a cross road - or a fork in the road.

Explanation:

You need to determine if you are willing to take risks throughout your life and not let others set your future for you. The poem shows also that when you get older, you question if you made the right choice - took the right road - and what would your life had been like if you would have taken the other route? Because of the person you are, would you have the same outcomes or would the outcomes be different?

Wherever we have lived. Six places in my sixteen years.

Did it
migrate, the way we did? From city to village
to island?
Do kools over miss their old nests? Was she singing about

Answers

Answer:

Do kools over miss their old nests?

Explanation:

The word, "Misgiving," means a feeling of doubt or apprehension about something. When the young girl observed the Asian Koels which are a breed of birds, she wondered if they ever missed their old nests.

This was a feeling of doubt that can be related to her own situation. Just like the Asian Koels that migrated from one end to another, the young girl might have reasoned that perhaps the Koels did miss their old nests just as she missed her former homes. Thus, she expressed her apprehension or doubt about the consequences of moving from one part of the world to another.

and at least 200 words discuss how Nadine gordimers political beliefs are reflected in this story (once upon a time) what literary devices does she use to develop her political themes

Answers

Answer:

Gordimer's political convictions are apparent in this narrative in the way she uses pejorative languages to express her viewpoint. “Art is the negative knowledge of the actual world,” for example, according to “Reconciliation Under Duress.” Art, on the other hand, investigates the unknown, and, as Adorno puts it, "art does not become knowledge with reference to ordinary immediate actuality." Gordimer avoids using the phrase "immediate actuality" in her writings. As Ettin notes, we never obtain a complete picture of the storyline and must instead orient ourselves by thinking about what hasn't been communicated. Gordimer illustrates the enormous attraction of this German, Jewish theorist by drawing on Adorno's views, further separating herself from the genre of black authors and redefining the goal of a political book.

Annabeth is mad at Percy for putting himself in so much danger; if he dies, her opportunity to go on a quest is over. Annabeth tells Percy that the only way to really test your abilities as a hero is to survive in the real, mortal world.He didn't try to persuade Percy (most likely) because he knew that his fatal flaw was loyalty. He knew he couldn't be persuaded and if he survived to be 16 he would remain loyal to the olympians. Therefore he try's to kill him to make sure he isn't the one spoken of in the prophecy.
