LORD OF THE FLIES: CHAPTER 10
This chapter is meant to be a little bit of comic relief. What is comic relief? And what part of this chapter is supposed to be a little funny?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

Comic relief is a part of the narrative, which may be a sentence, a scene, a dialogue, a paragraph or any other element that has a humorous tone, even if it is quick.

In chapter 10 of "Lord of the flies" we have a quick comic relief when Jack and his gang steal Piggy's glasses. Seeing Piggy bewildered by the lack of glasses has a certain humorous tone and refers to children's games. However, this tone passes quickly when the reader realizes that this was done to make piggy fragile and easy prey.

During the voyage we touched at several islands, where we sold or exchanged our goods. We were one day becalmed near a small island. As its appearance was inviting, we determined to dine upon it. But while we were laughing and preparing for dinner, the island began to move, and at the same moment the people in the ship called out that we were on the back of a monstrous whale. Some jumped into the boat, and others swam to the ship; but before I could get off the animal dived into the sea, and I had only time to catch hold of a piece of wood that had been brought from the ship to serve as a table.

Which word helps readers determine when the island begins to move?

In at least 150 words, discuss Orwell's use of figurative and connotative language and the ways in which his language affects the tone of his works.

Answers

Answer:

Orwell makes extensive use of animal sounds and movements to describe action; his figurative usage turns ordinary description into onomatopoeia. Animal characters are "stirring" and "fluttering" in movement while "cheeping feebly" and "grunting" communications. Old Major, the father figure of the animal's revolution, sings the rallying song "Beasts of England." Orwell describes the answering chorus in a frenzy of onomatopoeic imagery: "the cows lowed it, the dogs whined it, the sheep bleated it, the ducks quacked it." As the ruling class of pigs becomes more human, Orwell subtly drops barnyard verbiage and instead uses "said" for dialogue attributions.

Orwell, in "Why I Write," says he often wrote for political purposes to expose propaganda as well as describe it. "Animal Farm" satirizes propagandized phrases by using extended metaphors to create slogans. For example, "Four legs good, two legs bad" becomes a constantly repeated, ultimately meaningless sentiment. Orwell's characterizing human beings as the metaphoric "Man" creates doctrine such as "Remove Man from the scene and ... hunger and overwork are abolished forever." The animal's former owner, Farmer Jones, becomes an extended metaphor for evil and oppression; if the animals shirk their duties, "Jones will come back."

Personified Rebellion:

When Orwell describes the animal revolution that threatens to overrun England, his figurative language recreates the rebellion and its song as living entities in personification. "A wave of rebelliousness ran through the country," he notes, and the "Beasts of England" ditty "was irrepressible." Humans that hearken to it "secretly trembled, hearing in it a prophecy of their future doom." Orwell even sends his personified tune as an invader into the community at large: "It got into the din of smithies [blacksmiths] and the tunes of church bells." Hammer, anvil or bell, the song persists.

Allusions to Stalin:

Orwell uses allusion to characterize his novel's antagonist as two despots in one. Comrade Napoleon, a Berkshire boar named for French world conqueror Napoleon Bonaparte, occasionally alludes to Joseph Stalin, Russia's totalitarian dictator. The boar maintains vicious dogs as secret police. He attacks the porker Snowball, driving him into exile as Stalin did his former friend and revolutionary supporter, Leon Trotsky. He has a personality cult that cries "Comrade Napoleon [the boar] is always right." He even has a propagandist, the clever Squealer, who, as Orwell notes, "could turn black into white."

We sat down and made a nest in the long red grass. Yulka curled up like a baby rabbit and played with a grasshopper. Antonia pointed up to the sky and questioned me with her glance. I gave her the word, but she was not satisfied and pointed to my eyes. I told her, and she repeated the word, making it sound like “ice.” She pointed up to the sky, then to my eyes, then back to the sky, with movements so quick and impulsive that she distracted me, and I had no idea what she wanted. She got up on her knees and wrung her hands. She pointed to her own eyes and shook her head, then to mine and to the sky, nodding violently.

Please complete the sentence with the correct word: The new big sister

frantically
tentatively
impromptu

Answers

First lets start with some definitions:

Frantically-in a distraught way owing to fear, anxiety, or other emotion.

Tentatively-in a way that lacks confidence; hesitantly.

Impromptu-done without being planned, organized, or rehearsed.

Usually when you need to handle babies very gently, so in this case frantically wouldn't work. Panic is another word for frantic, and when you are panicking gentle is not usually the first thing on your mind.

Impromptu is when you do something in the moment and don't really think much about it before hand. This wouldn't fit, because it really has nothing to do with a small child.

Tentatively on the other hand is the exact opposite. In many types of sentences it has a connotation or another meaning. (Similar to saying "cheap" and "inexpensive". Even though they mean the same thing by definition, the connotation is different.) Tentatively can be another way of saying gently so this answer would fit.

Entreat: E (to ask earnestly)

Hearkens: B (pay close attention to)

Lament: A (express ones grief)

Defray: D (pay cost or expense)

Myriad: C (extremely large number)

Explanation

These are all the definitions of each word :) hope this helps

After reading the words and the possible definitions, we can match them in the following manner:

1. mourn; express one's grief - lament

2. pay close attention to - hearken

3. extremely large number - myriad

4. pay a cost or expense - defray

5. to ask earnestly - entreat

When we lose someone dear to us, we lament their death. That means we mourn them or express our grief in some way.The word "hearken" is an archaic (old) for of saying "to listen attentively".When there is a number of people or things too large and that we cannot specify, we can use the word "myriad." For example: I saw a myriad of flowers in the fields.To defray simply means to give or provide money in order to pay for a cost or an expense.Finally, to entreat is to ask  someone to do something urgently.

What do you understand by the word building?

A building is an enclosed structure with a roof and walls standing more or less permanently in one place, such as a house or factory. Buildings come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and functions, and have been adapted throughout history for a wide number of factors, from building materials available, to weather conditions, land prices, ground conditions, specific uses, prestige, and aesthetic reasons.

To better understand the term building compare the list of nonbuilding structures. Buildings serve several societal needs primarily as shelter from weather, security, living space, privacy, to store belongings, and to comfortably live and work. A building as a shelter represents a physical division of the human habitat.

The word building is both a noun and a verb: the structure itself and the act of making it.

However, the look of disgust in their faces and the shaking of the heads show that they disagree with his opinions. In this case, Harry should acknowledge that they may disagree. However, he should also politely invite them to consider a different point of view.
