What is comic diction? Its for a homework
Comic diction is the use of humorous word choices and expressions to entertain and amuse the audience in a comedic piece of writing.
Explanation:Comic diction refers to the choice of words and style of expression that a writer uses in a comedic context. This type of diction contributes to the humorous aspects of a narrative or dialogue, often through the use of puns, exaggerated expressions, sarcasm, and other forms of wit. The aim of comic diction is to invoke laughter and entertain the audience while still conveying the intended message.
Comic diction is essential in creating characters which represent "the Ludicrous," a concept described as a form of ugliness that is not painful or destructive but rather amusing or laughable. For example, a comic writer might use a character's exaggerated, bumbling speech or include specific word choices that seem out of place or nonsensical, in order to create a comedic effect.
The diction of a comedy can vary greatly, depending on the historical context and the author's stylistic choices. For instance, in Shakespeare's time, the diction included many archaic words and phrases that are not widely in use today, which can add to the humor when contemporary audiences encounter them.

Why is Esperanza left alone to care for the two babies
Answer: Isabel gives Esperanza some last minute advice for taking care of the Pepe and Lupe as she boards the bus for her first day of school. For the first time, Esperanza is responsible for taking care of the babies as well as preparing dinner for everyone who is working during the day. Esperanza starts making dinner and feeds the babies plums, which makes them happy. Esperanza is feeling confident - that is, until the babies get sick from the plums and she burns the food for everyone else. Even though Esperanza has made mistakes, Isabel compliments the older girl for curing the children's stomach troubles with rice. Nobody mentions the terrible dinner.
Meanwhile, the harvest season for the grapes is coming to a close. All of the adults must work seven days a week in order to gather the last of the grapes before the autumn rains. Esperanza starts spending more time with her neighbors Irene and Melina, who is appears young and naive but is actually a mature woman who takes care of her husband and child.
One afternoon, when the men are working in the fields and the women are working in the shed, a dust storm descends on the valley. Melina and Irene instruct Esperanza to get inside and stay away from the windows. Esperanza worries about her family and friends as the dust seeps into their cabin.
Isabel returns from school unscathed, frantic about her kitten, Chiquita. Luckily, Esperanza has brought Chiquita inside to keep her safe from the dust storm. The women return shortly thereafter - they only had a few crates as shelter from the whirling dust. The men return moments later, caked in dirt.
When everyone is clean again, Alfonso explains that the dust storm has derailed the plans for a strike. Esperanza knows that no one in her immediate circle is going to strike because they need the money. She is glad when everyone returns to work the following day, as if the storm had never happened.
A month after the dust storm, Esperanza notices that Mama looks pale and encourages her to lie down. Her mother, tired and worn down, breaks out into a fever. A young doctor explains that Mama has contracted Valley Fever, a condition that results from dust spores growing in the lungs. Esperanza is rocked by the news that Mama will take six months to recover - and she may not even live that long.
The dust storm stops the strike, proving that nature still has power over man (and an entire valley of domesticated crops). As Alfonso explains to Esperanza, the dust storm reveals the unpredictability of Mother Nature - in strong contrast to the careful planning that has gone into preparing for the strike.
Nature further disrupts Esperanza's daily routine when Mama suddenly falls ill. Esperanza has already lost her father, her home, and has had to leave Abuelita behind in Mexico. Esperanza has finally been able to adapt to her new situation, thanks in part to Mama's support. Now, she must learn how to take responsibility and be strong for both of them.
Although some aspects of Esperanza’s life are changing, Esperanza is also growing more certain of herself. Even though her first day alone does not go exactly as she planned, she proves herself to be more independent than anyone believed she could be. Even though she has grown up in a world of privilege, she is able to take care of two small children and run a household on her own - at a very young age.
To this end, Esperanza’s narrative voice starts to sound more like a grown woman than a child. Instead of worrying about her clothes or dolls, she focuses on the taking care of the people in her life. There was a time when getting dirty was one of Esperanza’s biggest concerns, but during the dust storm, all she is worried about is the safety of her family and friends.
Additionally, Esperanza’s observations of the world around her become more astute. She is able to see Melina as both a young girl similar to herself and as a woman with the responsibility of a family. Straddling both worlds, Esperanza is similar to Melina in many ways.

Animal farm essay question: ""The pigs could not have become dictators if the other animals had not allowed them to do so. Discuss""
Answer:
The animals had no means to stop the pigs from becoming dictators.
Explanation:
Let's first remember that the pigs were the only animals that could read and write well. They also had access to information through the radio they had in the farmhouse. Personally, I believe that the other animals couldn't have stopped them because they were naive and had no idea that the pigs had planned to take over the farm and to become worst than the worst dictator ever.
In addition, even though there were plans for animals to learn to read and write, they never thoroughly learned to do so. A few animals were able to read a few words or scribble a few letters, and the pigs took advantage of that changing their manifesto every time they felt like it.
What is the significance of the references to gender and race in the Jim Crow Laws ?
Answer:
They segragated the population into different groups. The two primary groups were the seperation between white people and black people.
Explanation:
Jim Crow laws were state and local laws that enforced racial segregation in the Southern United States. All were enacted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by white Democratic-dominated state legislatures after the Reconstruction period. The laws were enforced until 1965.
The Jim Crow laws mandated racial segregation and were significant as they legally enforced racial discrimination and inequality against African Americans in public life and personal livelihood. Upheld by the Plessy v. Ferguson case's 'separate but equal' doctrine, they contradicted the Fourteenth Amendment and were only overturned with the passage of Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Explanation:The references to gender and race in the Jim Crow laws were significant because they created a system of enforced racial segregation. These laws, which were enacted after Reconstruction and remained intact until the late 1960s, mandated the separation of Black and White Americans in almost every aspect of public life. The segregation affected schools, public buildings, transportation, and even extended to laws that impacted family structures and labor within the African American community.
The Plessy v. Ferguson case, which was decided by the Supreme Court in 1896, upheld these discriminatory laws under the doctrine of "separate but equal." By doing so, the court confirmed the constitutionality of segregation and perpetuated a system that ensured facilities and services for African Americans were inferior. This ruling stood in stark contrast to the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and was a significant setback to American racial equality.
Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 were instrumental in nullifying the Jim Crow laws, finally outlawing the racial discrimination that had been legally sanctioned for nearly a century. The significance of these laws lies in how they institutionalized racism and perpetuated inequalities based on arbitrary racial classifications, impacting not just social interactions but the very fabric of African American life.
What is Wiesel trying to do in this passage? APEX
A. Ask why the United States didn't send more troops to Germany
B. Show an example of the United States' indifference to the plight of the Jews
c. Offer his sympathies on the death of President Franklin D.
Roosevelt
D. Provide evidence that a thousand Jews were killed on the St. Louis
Answer:
B. Show an example of the United States' indifference to the plight of the Jews.
Explanation:
This refers to a passage in "The Perils of Indifference" in which Wiesel tells the story of the St. Louis. The St. Louis was a ship that sailed from Europe carrying Jewish refugees, but was denied entry in many countries, including the United States. The ship eventually went back to Europe, and many of the passengers perished during the Holocaust. Wiesel wants us to think of this case and reflect on how this shows the indifference of the United States to the plight of the Jewish people.
Wiesel is highlighting the U.S. government's indifference to the Jewish plight during the Holocaust, particularly through the St. Louis incident, which exemplifies the U.S. refusal to aid Jewish refugees.
In the passage, Wiesel is attempting to show an example of the United States' indifference to the plight of the Jews during the Holocaust. This is evidenced by the mention of the St. Louis incident, where Jewish refugees were turned away and received no special permission from President Roosevelt, resulting in the ship being forced to return to Europe with many of its passengers eventually perishing in the Holocaust.
The passage criticizes the lack of action from American officials and President Franklin D. Roosevelt during the crisis, highlighting the inhumanity of inaction in the face of the systematic murder of millions. This account serves as a powerful critique of the United States' inadequate response and moral failure to assist those in dire need.
John has captured bears in traps made from 55-gallon drums. He
some from the air.
Darting a bear from the open door of a helicopter--held in by just a seat belt or climbing harness--
sounds challenging.
Which is the best inference that can be made about this passage?
John is afraid of bears.
John is afraid of bears.
John is darting bears so that he may study them.
Bears move too quickly to be darted.
John is hunting bears.
Answer:
John is darting bears so that he may study them.
Explanation:
I read the passage.
Answer:
The last option is the correct answer.
Explanation:
To infer means to get to a logical conclusion based on some information. In this case, we know who haunts the bears (John) and how he does it (the traps) as well as some risks involved in hunting bear from the open door of a helicopter. With this information, it is not possible to talk about John's feelings, so A is incorrect; B is also incorrect because it doesn't mention anything about studying the bears. On the other hand, we know that John is hunting bears even though we don't know why or his feelings about them or about the fact of hunting.

minimum of three new words you learned in this lesson, correctly placing them in context and accurately using them
according to their definition. Correct spelling and grammar required.
Answer:
Explanation:
Analogy is derived from a late middle English Greek language and it is used to describe a comparison of different things and is typical used to explain things in greater detail. For instance An analogy is like comparing an apple and an orange to describe the difference in colors. I have just used a analogy to describe an analogy. Antonym, this word is a mid 19th century word from the french and Greek languages. Ant meaning against and onuma meaning name. An antonym is a word that is the opposite meaning of another word. For instance Sad is the antonym of happy, since its meaning is the exact opposite. Synonym derives from late middle English by Latin and Greek. The different parts of the word are derived from the Greek alphabet onuma meaning name and sun meaning with. A synonym itself is a word or phrase that just means the same or so close to the same as another word and or phrase that it doesn't really matter. For instance Sleep is a another word for slumber, in other words its another word that means the same thing.

The paragraph infuses new vocabulary related to a first job at a library, depicting the experience as both challenging and enlightening, with specific context clues aiding in the understanding of each new term.
Explanation:
My first vociferous challenge was at the local library, where the myriad books seemed to whisper tales stretching beyond their spines. As a bibliophile, this was a serendipitous opportunity, yet the lexicon of library science was initially abstruse. Cataloging books required understanding their provenance, and with each new archival acquisition, I delved into the annals of history. One day, a client requested a tome so antiquated, I had to peruse the archaic section—a labyrinth of knowledge—as I felt like an archivist rather than a mere clerk. Each book placed on the shelves was like sowing seeds of enlightenment, which patrons would harvest later. My perspective on knowledge forever changed; this position was a crucible for my intellectual metamorphosis.

"A thousand people – In America, the great country, the greatest democracy, the most generous of all new nations in modern history. What happened? I don’t understand. Why the indifference….."
There is not mention of sending more troops, death of President Franklin, or any evidence or mention of 1000 Jews killed on St. Louis.

c.)She explains that both Peter and herself are smart people who often speak their minds.
d.)She explains how both she and Peter must deal with bothersome mothers.
Answer:
I'm going with A
Explanation:
Just makes sense
In her diary, Anne Frank makes a connection between herself and Peter Van Daan as she categorizes both Peter and herself as very shy and passive individuals. Thefeoreoption A is the correct response.
Who is Peter Van Daan?When Peter van Pels and his parents had to go into hiding, he was 15 years old. One week after the Frank family made it to the hiding site. In the Secret Annex, Peter was the only boy present.
Hermann and Auguste van Pels were the parents of Peter. The family resided in Osnabrück and was Jewish (Germany). Due to the Nazis' anti-Semitism, Peter's parents made the decision to emigrate in 1937. The household relocated to Amsterdam.
Only a few of Peter's photographs have persisted. He is fixing a chair in the lone image of him taken in Amsterdam. He may have been taking a course in furniture upholstery in 1942, according to speculation. As more people were recruited for forced labor in Nazi Germany, the Van Pels family decided to leave.
Of the eight persons hiding, Peter was the only one with a private bedroom. The Secret Annex's attic and loft were accessible through a stairway in the center of the room, where Peter frequently worked on carpentry projects, repaired things, and chopped wood for the furnace.

Visualization and categorization work well for visual learners. Is this a technique you think benefits you as a learner? Why or why not?
Visualization and categorization techniques can be highly beneficial for visual learners, aiding comprehension and recall of information. However, their effectiveness may vary significantly depending on individual learning preferences.
Explanation:The effectiveness of visualization and categorization as learning strategies is highly dependent on the individual's preferred learning style. As you've mentioned, these techniques are particularly beneficial for visual learners.
Visual learners gain the most understanding from visual stimuli, such as graphs, diagrams, and pictures. Thus, using visualization – representing information graphically – enables this type of learner to comprehend and recall information more effectively.
Additionally, categorization, or arranging information into related groups, makes absorption of knowledge more efficient because it leverages our minds' inherent preference for organized information, aiding recall.
However, it’s essential to note that while these methods can be useful, their effectiveness may vary considerably among individuals, since everyone has unique learning preferences.
Some might benefit more from auditory techniques, while others may prefer kinesthetic or tactile learning styles.

How do curley’s wife and lennie’s dreams both seem to die with the accidental death
Answer:
How do Curley´s wife and Lennie´s dreams both seem to dies with the accidental death? The wife is dead, she won´t be able to follow her dreams, Lennie has killed her so he won´t be able to live with George and tend the rabbits. When Steinbeck describes the moments after Curley´s wife´s death, he uses personification.
Explanation:
In 'Of Mice and Men', both Lennie's and Curley's wife's dreams die with the accidental death of Curley's wife. Lennie's dream of a peaceful life with George and owning rabbits dies because his killing of Curley's wife leads to his own death. Curley's wife's dream of becoming a movie star and escaping her unhappy marriage dies with her.
Explanation:The accidental death you're referring to occurs in John Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and Men when Lennie kills Curley's wife. Upon this event, both Lennie's and Curley's wife's dreams effectively die. Lennie dreams of living off the 'fatta the lan'' with George, owning rabbits, and living a peaceful life. However, his accidental killing of Curley's wife set into motion events that would lead to his death, effectively crushing that dream. Curley's wife, on the other hand, dreams of a life beyond her unhappy marriage - specifically, she dreams of becoming a movie star. Her death leaves her aspiration unfulfilled and extinguished.

C) It is the tilt of the Earth that causes the Sun to be higher in the sky during the summer months which increases the solar flux. D) Seasons result from the yearly revolution of the Earth around the Sun and the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to the plane of revolution.
Answer:B) It is scientifically fascinating how bears and other animals instinctively know when to hibernate.
Explanation:
I could not find the paragraph that is missing in your question but I will tell you some my opinion on it and information that can help you to solve it on your own.
The sentence B is the only one that is showing some sort of fact of someone that is unnecessary for any paragraph because it is not giving us the information that we don't know(like the other answers do). It is giving us an opinion of some person that is not helpful for understanding the idea of the paragraph.
In other sentences we can see helpful information of something that are describing relationship between nature and animals.
Answer:
The answer is B, It is scientifically fascinating how bears and other animals instinctively know when to hibernate.
C) It is the tilt of the Earth that causes the Sun to be higher in the sky during the summer months which increases the solar flux.
D) Seasons result from the yearly revolution of the Earth around the Sun and the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to the plane of revolution.
Explanation:
Because answer A talks about animals hibernating or migrating as well as plants and that is important to know. Answer C talks about where the sun is located when the earth moves and that is also important to know, without it it will change the meaning to the passage. The same goes for answer D, and the whole purpose is to remove a sentence that is unnecessary. So, answer B is the only option.
Identify the correct sentence.
A. Cary Grant 1904-1986 was the leading man in (several) Alfred Hitchcock films.
