Read the passage from "The Storyteller.” The children moved listlessly towards the aunt’s end of the carriage. Evidently her reputation as a storyteller did not rank high in their estimation. In a low, confidential voice, interrupted at frequent intervals by loud, petulant questionings from her listeners, she began an unenterprising and deplorably uninteresting story about a little girl who was good, and made friends with every one on account of her goodness, and was finally saved from a mad bull by a number of rescuers who admired her moral character. "Wouldn’t they have saved her if she hadn’t been good?” demanded the bigger of the small girls. It was exactly the question that the bachelor had wanted to ask. "Well, yes,” admitted the aunt lamely, "but I don’t think they would have run quite so fast to her help if they had not liked her so much.” "It’s the stupidest story I’ve ever heard,” said the bigger of the small girls, with immense conviction. "I didn’t listen after the first bit, it was so stupid,” said Cyril. The smaller girl made no actual comment on the story, but she had long ago recommenced a murmured repetition of her favourite line. Which statement best explain s the situational irony that occurs in the passage? The aunt expects the children to laugh at the story, but they do not. The children expect their aunt to tell a funny story, but she does not. The children do not like the story, even though it is very interesting. The aunt tells a story with a moral, but the children ignore the lesson.

Answer:

The aunt tells a story with a moral, but the children ignore the lesson

Explanation:

Situational Irony is a type of irony that involves a situation in which there is an opposite outcome of what was originally intended.

From this passage of Storyteller, the aunt who is not renowned for her great storytelling told a story that to the children was "stupid" and uninteresting so the children ignored the moral lesson.

journal notes for the week. I was just finishing that when Travis sat down next to me and asked this question:






"You believe in all this Earthseed stuff, don't you?"





"Every word," I answered.




I reached down, picked up a small stone, and put it on the table between us. "If I could analyze this and tell you all that it was made of, would that mean I'd made up its contents?"




He didn't do more than glance at the rock. He kept his eyes on me. "So what did you analyze to get Earthseed?"




"Other people," I said, "myself, everything I could hear, see, and all the history I could learn. My father is a—was—a minister and a teacher. My stepmother ran a neighborhood school. I had a chance to see a lot."





"What did your father think of your idea of God?"






"He never knew."





"You never had the chance to tell him."








I shrugged. "He's the one person in the world I worked hard not to hurt."










"Dead?"





"Yes."






"Yeah. My parents, too." He shook his head. "People don't live long these days."





There was a period of silence. After a while, he said, "How did you get your ideas about God?"








"I was looking for God," I said. "I wasn't looking for mythology or mysticism or magic. I didn’t know whether there was a god to find, but I wanted to know. God would have to be a power that cannot be defied by anyone or anything."






"Change."





"Change, yes.”





"But it's not a god. It's not a person or an intelligence or even a thing. It's just... I don't know. An idea."







I smiled. Was that such a terrible criticism? "It's a truth," I said.





---------------------------------------------------------






Now, this is my first option to quote:







“‘So what did you analyze to get Earthseed?' ‘Other people,… myself, everything I could read, hear, see, all the history I could learn... I had a chance to see a lot’... ‘I was looking for God... I didn’t know whether there was a god to find, but I wanted to know. God would have to be a power that cannot be defied by anyone or anything.’ ‘Change.’ ‘Change, yes’” (217).













now here's my second:







“‘So what did you analyze to get Earthseed?' ‘Other people,… myself, everything I could read, hear, see, all the history I could learn... I had a chance to see a lot... I was looking for God... I didn’t know whether there was a god to find, but I wanted to know. God would have to be a power that cannot be defied by anyone or anything.’ ‘Change.’ ‘Change, yes’” (217).










notice how both quotes are the same although they're different, the second has less quote mark, please comment which is best for me to use for my essay, please?

Read this excerpt from Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Masque of the Red Death" and answer the question that follows.

Here the case was very different, as might have been expected from the duke's love of the bizarre. The apartments were so irregularly disposed that the vision embraced but little more than one at a time. There was a sharp turn at every twenty or thirty yards, and at each turn a novel effect. To the right and left, in the middle of each wall, a tall and narrow Gothic window looked out upon a closed corridor which pursued the windings of the suite. These windows were of stained glass whose colour varied in accordance with the prevailing hue of the decorations of the chamber into which it opened. That at the eastern extremity was hung, for example in blue—and vividly blue were its windows. The second chamber was purple in its ornaments and tapestries, and here the panes were purple. The third was green throughout, and so were the casements. The fourth was furnished and lighted with orange—the fifth with white—the sixth with violet. The seventh apartment was closely shrouded in black velvet tapestries that hung all over the ceiling and down the walls, falling in heavy folds upon a carpet of the same material and hue. . . .And thus were produced a multitude of gaudy and fantastic appearances.

What kind of writing does the excerpt represent?

expository
