Let us remember Job who, having lost everything – his children, his friends, his possessions, and even his argument with God – still found the strength to begin again, to rebuild his life. Job was determined not to repudiate the creation, however imperfect, that God had entrusted to him. Job, our ancestor, Job, our contemporary. His ordeal concerns all humanity. Did he ever lose his faith? If so, he rediscovered it within his rebellion. He demonstrated that faith is essential to rebellion, and that hope is possible beyond despair. The source of his hope was memory, as it must be ours.In the above excerpt, which rhetorical device is Wiesel using?

Hurry .......Read this excerpt from The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. I could not approach her as I was accustomed to approach other white ladies. My early instruction was all out of place. The crouching servility, usually so acceptable a quality in a slave, did not answer when manifested toward her. Her favor was not gained by it; she seemed to be disturbed by it. She did not deem it impudent or unmannerly for a slave to look her in the face. The meanest slave was put fully at ease in her presence . . . What inference can be drawn about Mrs. Auld in this excerpt? She shows enslaved persons an unfamiliar respect.

The sentences in this excerpt from John Barth's "Lost in the Funhouse" that show the postmodern element of self-reflexivity are:

3)Initials, blanks, or both were often substituted for proper names in nineteenth century fiction to enhance the illusion of reality.

4)Interestingly, as with other aspects of realism, it is an illusion that is being enhanced, by purely artificial means.

Self-reflexivity is a literary device that consists in making the author's manner of composition the main focus of attention. While the writer tells a story, he/she also tells the readers about the choices made and the organization and structure of the text. This literary device allows the readers to be inside the writer's mind; however, sometimes the writer does not always tell the truth. In that way, it is necessary for the reader to be able to distinguish what is real from what is not. In this two sentences from "Lost in the Funhouse", John Barth refers to literary strategies and choices.  
Being self-reflexive means it discusses itself or reflects on itself. This is not based on facts, as many post modern ideologies are want to do. But rather it bases on a topic and then derives truths from that topic. 

The correct answer is 4. It notes realism and then says realism is an illusion.

“Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard” is mostly..a. narrative, because it tells a story
b. lyrical, because it focuses on feelings
c. idyllic, because it celebrates the beauty of nature

Answers

I would say the correct answer is B) lyrical, because it focuses on feelings.
A isn't correct because there is no action or a story really, there are only the poet's musings about life and death.
Although the poet does speak about the beauty of nature, it is not the predominant part of the poem, but feelings are.

I'm writing a story with a spoilt teenage girl called Victoria. Victoria pretty much has everything her own way and gets everything she wants seeing as her father is very wealthy. I've got her personality sorted, however I just need some ideas of her appearance. I need to include that she has raven black hair, piercing blue eyes and tanned skin.Any Ideas?

Answers

My ideas:

Well, if she is spoiled, perhaps she can have expensive clothes? Something unnecessary, let's say one of those very expensive bags

How about a piercing that would not be normally allowed for teenage girls, but she can have since she gets way with it (eyebrow?)

Well I'm not sure you ever have read Dork Diaries, but in the book there is a rich mean girl named Mackenzie Hollister. She always has on the newest lipgloss, super expensive clothes(including puffed sleeves), stilettos -or heels- , and her hair is very long! She also likes to batt her eyelashes, so her 'lashes are looong.
