The author uses irony to contribute to the story's meaning. The author uses situational irony, because we all expected for Dickie to pass the test but not get killed. In the story we see that the parents are worried, " He wanted the day to be happy, and the moistness of his mother’s eyes, the scowl on his father’s face, spoiled the mood of fluttering expectation with which he had greeted the morning.

in lines 145-170 and describe the character of mrs. keeney through these two characters eyes. what change have they observed in her? Questions for the “lle”

Step-by-step answer

P Answered by PhD

Answer:

In lines 578-579, Mrs. Keeney tells her husband why she wanted to sail with him: "I wanted to see
you the hero they make you out to be in Homeport." In what way does the voyage change the way she sees her husband? Cite evidence from the play in your answer.
Mrs. Keeney sees that her husband is a hard man who can be brutal toward his crew in pursuit of
his goal. In lines 650-653, she tells him, "You want to live up to your silly reputation even if you do
have to beat and starve men and drive me mad to do it."
At the end of the play, Captain Keeney breaks his promise to his wife, even though he says he loves
her. What is the motivation for his behavior, beyond simple economic opportunity?
Keeney's pride pushes him to put his goal of
getting the oil ahead of any feelings for his wife. He needs to get the oil to feel strong and to prove himself. At the same time, he denies that his wife is really going mad, saying, "I know you're foolin' me" (lines 892-893). He may feel justified in staying "jest a little while longer" at sea because he can't believe she is actually losing her mind and because she insisted on making the voyage in the first place.

Answer:

The phrase "we'll head north again, in other words, to the land of sensible people" shows that the entire venture, planned by the Professor and the Captain was not wise. It has a critical tone.

Step-by-step explanation:

The phrase above was uttered by the Canadian in the book, "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas Revised" By Jules Verne. He meant that the venture which they had undertaken was fruitless and unwise.

He criticized the journey because at that time the Nautilus was stuck in the ice and could no longer move forward.
