In The Bet, what does the lawyer's "skeleton-like" appearance symbolize?
That he has become a literal ghost
His need for a better diet
The death of his physical desires and vanity
His physical strength after 15 years
What is the "compressed lump" the lawyer refers to in his letter?
A small piece of coal from his fireplace
The physical weight of the books he read
A hidden stash of gold he found
The heavy essence of human wisdom and history
Why is the lawyer leaving the cell 5 minutes early considered situational irony?
He wants to surprise the banker with a hug
He decided he actually wanted to stay longer
He accidentally forgot what time it was
He wins the argument but chooses to lose the prize money
In The Guest, the "Rivers of France" on the blackboard symbolize:
A secret escape route for the prisoner
Daru's deep love for French geography
The only source of water on the plateau
The colonization of Algeria
How does Camus use personification to describe the Algerian plateau?
As a mother providing for her children
As a cruel, solitary, and inhospitable entity
As a bustling, joyful community of rocks
As a shy person who hides from the sun
Why is the message "You handed over our brother" an example of dramatic irony?
Daru was the one who wrote the message so it isn't his fault
The Arab is not actually a brother so once they are wrong
The reader knows Daru gave the Arab a choice
The men intended to thank Daru for his help
In Araby, what does the boy’s "chalice" metaphor represent?
His romanticized, sacred view of his infatuation
His desire to move to a different country
The religious devotion he has for his priest
A literal cup he wants to buy at the market
