What does the irony in these excerpts from “In Another Country” by Ernest Hemingway convey?The doctor came up to the machine where I was sitting and said: "What did you like best to do before the war? Did you practice a sport?"

I said: "Yes, football."

"Good," he said. "You will be able to play football again better than ever."

My knee did not bend and the leg dropped straight from the knee to the ankle without a calf, and the machine was to bend the knee and make it move as riding a tricycle.

. . . In the next machine was a major who had a little hand like a baby's. He winked at me when the doctor examined his hand, which was between two leather straps that bounced up and down and flapped the stiff fingers, and said: "And will I too play football, captain-doctor?" He had been a very great fencer, and before the war the greatest fencer in Italy.

Answers

The correct option is B

Romanticism is a cultural and political movement originated in Germany and the United Kingdom (Great Britain and Northern Ireland) at the end of the eighteenth century as a revolutionary reaction against the rationalism of the Enlightenment and Classicism, giving priority to feelings.

In at least three complete sentences, write a character analysis for the protagonist in your selected novel. Include literal, interpretive, and evaluative information about the character. My novel is The Boy In The Striped Pajamas

Answers

This is 2 protagonists in my view (Bruno and Shmuel). But I chose one that Bruno. He is a nine years old boy. He was born in Berlin and later moved to Polant as his father is a Commandant. He can't realized what's happening with everything around him and then meets a new friend - a boy in striped pajamas.

Bruno is a lead character in the novel. Bruno's character is somehow interesting because of his curiosity. His family is rich, he is having a life stripped of difficulties. Of course, he is still a child and Bruno's curiosity might be related to his childishness. However, not every child is curious in the same way that most of them obey to their parents without complaining. Bruno's curiosity makes him befriended with a child from a completely different world.
