In what sense is the ending of the novel ironic??

Lord of the rings

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

This is for lord of the Rings return of the King

1. Frodo was appointed the task of Ring-bearer to destroy the One Ring by casting it into the fiery depths of Mount Doom and thus to get rid of it for all eternity. however, after all of the indescribable suffering and effort it took to arrive at the actual chasm of Mount Doom and the ability to put an end to all evil was within reach of his hand, Frodo was unable to give it up...instead, he succumbed to the evil power of the Ring and took it for himself. in fact, it was Gollum who ultimately cast the ring into the fire and without the wretched creature, the Ring would not have been destroyed and the entire Quest would have been in vain. Tolkien definitely utilizes irony in this passage.  

2. the Witch-king of Angmar was defeated by two of the most unlikely heroes, a woman in disguise and a Hobbit, namely Éowyn and Pippin. the Witch-king, Lord of the Nazgûl, was Sauron's deadliest and most feared servant who thought he was invincible for 'no man could kill him', according to a legendary prophecy. even Gandalf couldn't even defeat him during a brief showdown between the two (as shown in a scene from the movie before the Rohirrim arrive upon the siege of Minas Tirith). instead, the Witch-king met his demise at the sword of a woman who was forbidden to fight by her kin and of a Hobbit, a creature whom many doubted of their strength in battle.  

oh! and another idea that just popped into my head is how ironic it is that in all these years leading up to the great climactic events of the War of the Ring, Aragorn - the destined King, heir to the throne of Gondor, and the last descendant of the Dúnedain (which is all a pretty impressive lineage if you ask me!) - chose to instead cloak himself in the lifestyle of a Ranger and go into exile, rather than face his fate. of course, Aragorn realizes his destiny and becomes the King he was born to be...thus the "Return of the King"! :D

Match the figure of speech to the quote or topics in Things Fall Apart.1. personification
2. simile
3. metaphor
4. extended metaphor
Earth, Sky
“[…] they are white like this piece of chalk.”
“Fireflies went about with their tiny green lamps […]”
wrestler, drums

Answers

Hi!

To answer this question we need to know the definition of each term.

1- Personification is the action of attributing personal nature or human characteristics to something nonhuman. In this case it would be wrestler, drums as the author is personifying the drums as wrestlers.

2- A Simile is a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind and it's used to make a description more emphatic or vivid. Therefore, in this case, the simile would be “[…] they are white like this piece of chalk" as the author is comparing men to a piece of chalk to show the reader how vivid and white the color of those men was.

3- A Metaphor is a thing regarded as representative or symbolic of something else, especially something abstract. In this case, it would be  “Fireflies went about with their tiny green lamps […]" as the author is talking about the symbolic "lamps" that fireflies have when referring to their bioluminescence.

4- An extended metaphor is when the author exploits a single metaphor or analogy at length through multiple linked tenors, vehicles, and grounds throughout a poem or story. In this case it would be the remaining option, earth, sky.

The quotes and topics in Things Fall Apart are matched with specific figures of speech, including personification, simile, and metaphor.

The figure of speech used in the quotes and topics from Things Fall Apart are:

  1. Earth, Sky - personification
  2. "[…] they are white like this piece of chalk." - simile
  3. "Fireflies went about with their tiny green lamps […]" - metaphor
  4. wrestler, drums - metaphor

Personification is used when the Earth and Sky are given human characteristics or actions. The quote about being white like the chalk is a simile because it compares two things using 'like' or 'as'. The quote about fireflies having tiny green lamps is a metaphor because it attributes the characteristics of tiny green lamps to the fireflies. Lastly, the use of the words wrestler and drums in a metaphorical sense means that they are representing something else.

Reset Submit

Answers

Answer:

optshan see

Explanation:

n the sentence, "Hampton's biennial Rosebud Contest is always held at the Coliseum," the word "biennial" means that the Rosebud Contest takes place every two years. This means that the contest is not held annually, but rather every other year.

For example, if the Rosebud Contest took place in 2020, the next contest would be held in 2022, and then in 2024, and so on. So, option C, "every two years," is the correct answer.

A dramatic device used to create a realistic atmosphere for a play is called a dramatic convention.True
False

Answers

This is false. Dramatic conventions don't necessarily create realistic atmospheres, such as Shakespeare's dramatic convention in which characters don't hear soliloquies of people standing next to them. However, it is understood by the audience and is a dramatic convention.
