Which of the following Kuotations by Huck's father in chapter 5 of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is an example of
irony?
"Starchy clothes--very. You think you're a good deal of a big-bug, DONT
you?"
"You're educated, too, they say—can read and write. You think you're better'n your father, now, don't you, because
he can't?"
"And looky here—you drop that school, you hear? I'll learn people to bring up a boy to put on airs over his own father
and let on to be better'n what HE is."
"All right. I'll ask him; and I'll make him pungle, too, or I'll know the reason why.

Answer: "And looky here—you drop that school, you hear? I'll learn people to bring up a boy to put on airs over his own father  and let on to be better'n what HE is."

Explanation:

In chapter 5 of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, his father is a vile man who was jealous of Huckleberry for having been the first person in the family to become literate especially whilst he himself was not.

He therefore resolves to end Huckleberry's education and tells him to stop going to school or else he would beat him and show people not to make a boy to become better then his father or his true self which is ironic because that is what education is meant to so, make a person better.

Surrender Speech


by Black Hawk


1832


You have taken me prisoner with all my warriors. I am much grieved, for I expected, if I did not defeat you, to hold out much longer, and give you more trouble before I surrendered. I tried hard to bring you into ambush, but your last general understands Indian fighting. The first one was not so wise. When I saw that I could not beat you by Indian fighting, I determined to rush on you, and fight you face to face. I fought hard. But your guns were well aimed. The bullets flew like birds in the air, and whizzed by our ears like the wind through the trees in the winter. My warriors fell around me; it began to look dismal. I saw my evil day at hand. The sun rose dim on us in the morning, and at night it sunk in a dark cloud, and looked like a ball of fire. That was the last sun that shone on Black Hawk. His heart is dead, and no longer beats quick in his bosom. He is now a prisoner to the white men; they will do with him as they wish. But he can stand torture, and is not afraid of death. He is no coward. Black Hawk is an Indian.


He has done nothing for which an Indian ought to be ashamed. He has fought for his countrymen, the squaws and papooses, against white men, who came, year after year, to cheat them and take away their lands. You know the cause of our making war. It is known to all white men. They ought to be ashamed of it. The white men despise the Indians, and drive them from their homes. But the Indians are not deceitful. The white men speak bad of the Indian, and look at him spitefully. But the Indian does not tell lies; Indians do not steal.


An Indian who is as bad as the white men, could not live in our nation; he would be put to death, and eat [sic] up by the wolves. The white men are bad school-masters; they carry false looks, and deal in false actions; they smile in the face of the poor Indian to cheat him; they shake them by the hand to gain their confidence, to make them drunk, to deceive them, and ruin our wives. We told them to let us alone; but they followed on and beset our paths, and they coiled themselves among us like the snake. They poisoned us by their touch. We were not safe. We lived in danger. We were becoming like them, hypocrites and liars, adulterers, lazy drones, all talkers, and no workers.


We looked up to the Great Spirit. We went to our great father. We were encouraged. His great council gave us fair words and big promises, but we got no satisfaction. Things were growing worse. There were no deer in the forest. The opossum and beaver were fled; the springs were drying up, and our squaws and papooses without victuals to keep them from starving; we called a great council and built a large fire. The spirit of our fathers arose and spoke to us to avenge our wrongs or die . . . . We set up the war-whoop, and dug up the tomahawk; our knives were ready, and the heart of Black Hawk swelled high in his bosom when he led his warriors to battle. He is satisfied. He will go to the world of spirits contented. He has done his duty. His father will meet him there, and commend him.


Black Hawk is a true Indian, and disdains to cry like a woman. He feels for his wife, his children and friends. But he does not care for himself. He cares for his nation and the Indians. They will suffer. He laments their fate. The white men do not scalp the head; but they do worse—they poison the heart, it is not pure with them. His countrymen will not be scalped, but they will, in a few years, become like the white men, so that you can’t trust them, and there must be, as in the white settlements, nearly as many officers as men, to take care of them and keep them in order.


Farewell, my nation. Black Hawk tried to save you, and avenge your wrongs. He drank the blood of some of the whites. He has been taken prisoner, and his plans are stopped. He can do no more. He is near his end. His sun is setting, and he will rise no more. Farewell to Black Hawk.


Read this excerpt from the last paragraph of the speech.


Farewell, my nation. Black Hawk tried to save you, and avenge your wrongs. He drank the blood of some of the whites.


How does Black Hawk use rhetoric to advance his purpose in this excerpt?



A.) He directly addresses his nation because he does not intend for the white men to hear the last paragraph of his speech.


B.) He uses imagery to evoke feelings of remorse to show that he regrets his actions toward the white men.


C.) He uses imagery to paint a picture of the wrongs he tried to avenge, which furthers his purpose of describing the white men’s evils.


D.) He directly addresses his nation to show that even though he is surrendering, he still has allegiance to his nation.

This is a key event in The Call of the Wild.

It was brought about by a conversation in the Eldorado Saloon, in which men waxed boastful of their favorite dogs. Buck, because of his record, was the target for these men, and Thornton was driven stoutly to defend him. At the end of half an hour one man stated that his dog could start a sled with five hundred pounds and walk off with it; a second bragged six hundred for his dog; and a third, seven hundred.

How does this event affect plot development?

It shows that Thornton believes in Buck.
It proves that Buck is stronger than other dogs.
It creates tension between Thornton and Buck.
It makes other men aware of Buck’s value.

I am currently writing a novel, and I need to have your honest opinion of the beginning:


Let me tell you a story, starting from the beginning.


"No no no no no!" Winter raced through the thick woods trying to find a safe place to hide.


There was no place to hide, all she could do was run.


She couldn't turn back, because behind her was a killer. A psychotic killer who had slaughtered her entire family, and is now after her. She is scared, hurt and desperately trying to get away. The killer was a demon, and she was a powerless human. There was absolutely no way she could outrun him, but she could try. Winter was a survivor. And she strives to survive any situation, even insane demonic ex's named Cain.


So there she was, running for her life. And all she heard was her own heartbeat, her own breathing, and the crunch of the leaves and snow beneath her feet. She also heard him. He was getting closer and closer shouting horrible things her way. She could hear his feet pounding close behind. She was running from the man who trapped her and promised her eternal suffering so long as she still existed. Ten minutes pass and she can't bear the pain in her legs from running. She can't hear his shouts, so she slows an hides in a hollowed out tree. She knows she is not safe, she never was safe to begin with. so she just sits there and waits. She's only human, so she can only run for so long. Her legs are tired, screaming at her in agony. And her heart is pounding right out of her chest.


"Winter~ Come on out my snowflake, I'm not going to hurt you, I just want to see you" She could hear his sadistic cooing echoing through the trees, his voice alone sent shivers through her very soul. The voice of a psycho that wanted to see her suffer. It terrified her and she constantly wondered why it was her he went after.


"WINTER! I know you're hiding, i can't hear your footsteps anymore." He was shouting now, and judging by the near frantic footsteps, he was close "Come on out now, I WILL FIND YOU!" Her hear rate increased ten times over and she struggled to breathe, she was having a panic attack. She cried letting all the grief of what had just happened sink in. She let the fact that her family of 6 little brothers was just slaughtered sink in. She let the fact that she brought him to her family in the first place sink in. She let the fact that she was useless sink in. And she let the fact of her impending doom sink in, and she cried. Then she saw him, he was right in front of her tree. She continued to cry softly, letting out pained whispered screams. He yanked her out by her arm and held her arms tight and just smiled at her.


"Got you now little snowflake. It's time to bring out the sun so you can melt away." She stared in his eyes, shaking her head no, she couldn't speak, she couldn't move, and she was scared as hell. The scene from afar would look like a wolf that had just caught the sheep.She, like the sheep, was petrified realizing her fate and scared as hell. And he, the wolf, grinning at his prey knowing he has her caught. There was nothing she could do. So he dragged her back to her house, the same house that he turned to a slaughterhouse for her family.


In the living room where her little brother lied mangled in the corner, he let her go. She immediately collapsed to her knees staring at the ground in fear, disbelief and pain. She couldn't get up and run because her legs were tired and practically useless as of now. She was useless.


"Why so grim love? You did this to yourself. You and your little ways that got me to fall in love with you. A sheep and a ravenous demon. How'd that turn out for you?" Cain grinned. She didn't answer. she just kept quiet.


"Well then, you must know what time it is now don't you?" She did. He was going to send her to a hell. A world she knew nothing of, a world full of danger that she would be trapped in, for eternity. She did not move, she just waited for her fate to come.

This passage is from a promotional pamphlet for ecotourism.


Are you ready to go out and see other areas of the world? Do you

want to interact with other cultures, encounter other traditions, practice other

languages, and behold other scenery? Regardless of age, gender, or

background, traveling is one of those adventures almost everyone wants to

5 experience. Now you can do it too—and make the world a better place in the

process!


A New Kind of Tourism

Ecotourism goes by many names, including sustainable, conscious,

and responsible travel. While the names may change from one organization

to the next, the basic definition remains the same: traveling to natural areas

10 around the world, experiencing and learning about the region, and while

there, helping to preserve the environment and sustain the well-being of the

local residents.

Tourists adversely affect the destinations they visit when they are not

mindful of the impact of their actions. They may leave trash in their wake,

overlook local merchants and vendors in favor of flashy chain stores and

restaurants, and even tromp all over important historical monuments, ancient

sites, and religious icons. Their heavy foot traffic may interfere with the

growth patterns of local species of flowers, bushes, and trees. Those who

veer off established hiking trails may affect the habitats and development of

20 indigenous animals and plants. In fact, studies show that just the presence of

tiny microorganisms, which visitors may bring with them on their clothes,

have been known to compromise the ecosystems of natural sites popular with

tourists.



Ecotourism focuses on ensuring these negative effects do not occur.

25 The tenets of this style of travel include:

• Building respect for native peoples and cultures

• Reducing the impacts of visitors on cultural locations

• Participating in activities that benefit the local flora and fauna

• Improving awareness of the local environment

30 • Respecting the rights, values, beliefs, and customs of the community


The Origins of Ecotourism

Sustainable travel is not a new idea—it originated with the Sierra

Club's Outings program more than a century ago. These annual expeditions

were designed to take hikers into the backcountry of the Sierra Nevada

mountains to find and admire natural wonders—and then be inspired to

35 actively work to preserve them. In the early 1980s, the term “ecotourism"

was officially coined, and since then, it has become an increasingly popular

choice for travelers.

A Positive Impact

Nowadays, some people argue that ecotourism is not a perfect

solution to the potentially negative effects of travel. After all, ecotourism still

40 has some environmental impact, and it may draw more people to fragile areas

than traditional tourism would. However, as long as mankind has a thirst for

travel, ecotourism will remain the most responsible option. Travel is one of

the great human experiences—that people will travel is a fait accompli, so

the only question is whether it will be done in a sustainable way.


45 Ecotourism also brings numerous benefits to the world at large.

Sustainable travel piques tourists' interests in distant corners of the planet and

raises awareness of the cultures and traditions of the people who live there.

Individuals who have taken part in ecotourism may be more environmentally

conscious back home. Additionally, this form of travel provides tangible

50 benefits to the areas visited. Tourists can assist with scientific research, such

as mapping biodiversity by determining the number of plant and animal

species in a location. In other expeditions, tourists may help with excavating

archaeological sites. Ecotourists work hard to provide important data to

scientists and help us learn more about our world.


55 As an ecotourist, you can join the other 105.3 million Americans

who are dedicating their travels to having a positive effect on the world

around us. You can find out how to explore new places, see wildlife in its

natural habitat, and interact with local cultures—and leave them all as they

were to be enjoyed for generations to come.
