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