In the modern world, you will find tricksters in almost all walks of life. Perform online or offline research and create a list of tricksters in the modern world. Briefly explain why you think that the characters you’ve picked are tricksters. Choose one of the tricksters from your list and describe him or her by applying the six traits of a trickster to his or her character.
Answer:
Maui Myths and Hynes:
Many civilizations have trickster mythology. Loki is a Norse god, Hermes is Greek, and Set is Egyptian. These gods are all crafty, humorous, and occasionally malicious. Their role may be to impede a hero's progress, but it may also be to provide an alternative perspective. In mythology, tricksters generally represent change, although they may also play many roles. Author William J Hynes characterizes Tricksters in Mythology as ambiguous and abnormal, deceivers and trick players, situation inverters, message deliverers and mimics of the Gods, as well as holy and obscene bricoleurs. In his work Mapping Mythic Tricksters, Hynes elaborates on the classic Polynesian story of Maui.
The first trait of debate is ambiguity. Specifically, ambiguity implies having a hidden meaning or having no genuine meaning. Atypical feature characterized as out of the ordinary. Maui was an outcast and was rejected by his own mother, who flung him into the ocean. Being rescued by the sun gave him healing and protective powers, which made him seem kind in various situations.
Second set of traits to explore is deceivers. The most basic attribute, this one simply states that a trickster enjoys deceiving people. In the Maui stories, he goes to the underworld to steal fire for the people. This is both cunning and deception. In the legend of Maui, he attempts to murder Hine-nu-te-po, but she awakens up before he can accomplish the crime and kills him for it.
The third collection of traits is termed situation inverters. A situation inverter is merely a cog in the machine of events, no matter what they are. In the mythology, Maui is seen persuading the sun to remain out longer than normal. With more daylight, Maui's residents may work longer. In one case, Maui's behaviors are unselfish, but in others, they may look selfish.
The fourth group of traits is the messenger and imitator attribute. This is commonly exhibited when tricksters are presented as deity-to-mortal voice links. This communication is frequently poisoned, either intentionally or by accident. In Hawaiian mythology, Maui seeks to impersonate the gods in order to persuade the sun to stay. He exaggerates his immortal status to seem godlike in the sun's sight. This is merely to further his objective.
Finally, the holy and obscene bricoleurs will be explored. Due of its odd character, this is frequently difficult to nail down in mythology. This quality frequently appears when a trickster archetype is left alone. This attribute is most commonly seen when someone is testing their own talents alone. When Hina is looking for a guy with sufficient sexual desire and no impotence, Maui's mother pushes him to come up to the plate. When Te Tuna made a tidal wave with his genitals, he replied by producing one with his own. This rescued the town and stopped Te Tuna from harming it.
Thus, by utilizing Hynes's methods for delineating and characterizing trickster archetypes, we can easily classify Maui as a default trickster anti-hero, and we can then use examples from the Maui mythology to get a good idea of what an average trickster archetype will look like in other mythologies as well. It's hard to imagine somebody who doesn't like Hawiian mythology and culture this is why I chose these cunning characters.

Explanation:
(Answers may vary.) Some of the tricksters I found in the modern world are as follows:In comics:Joker: In the Batman series, the character Joker is a trickster. He causes chaos and giggles with delight at the chaos he creates.Loki: Marvels comics have adapted the Norse trickster god into their universe. Unlike mythology, here, Loki is the brother of Thor. His actions vary from the typical villain character in the comics to the antihero. Throughout the series where he appears, Loki tricks the main characters (mainly the avengers) into various situations.In film and television:“The Mask”: The film and cartoon series follows the exploits of a mortal with the mask of Loki. Here, when the protagonist puts on the mask, he is transformed into a trickster. He plays pranks and tricks people out of or into various situations.Jack Sparrow: In the film series “The Pirates of the Caribbean,” the leading character, Captain Jack Sparrow, is a trickster. He tricks and fools his way out of difficult situations using his wit.The Marx Brothers, particularly Groucho: These classical tricksters generally played a comedic role in many plays and films.Bugs Bunny: Bugs Bunny is a trickster from the “Looney Tunes” cartoon series. He plays tricks on several characters including the hunter Elmer Fudd and the duck character Daffy Duck.In Literature:In The Grinch and The Cat in the Hat: Both characters written by Dr. Seuss fit the archetype of a trickster.Merry and Pippin: Merry (Meriadoc Brandybuck) and Pippin (Peregrin Took) from Lord of the Rings are tricksters in the trilogy. Each of them plays tricks and pranks on many of the primary characters such as Gandalf.Fred and George Weasley: In the Harry Potter series, Fred and George Weasley are the typical tricksters. They are famous for the pranks they play on Dudley and setting off pranks in Hogwarts. The duo opens a joke shop later in the series and they become professional tricksters.Jack SparrowIn the “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie series, the male protagonist Captain Jack Sparrow is a trickster character. His creator based the character on the trickster archetype. Jack, similar to other mythical tricksters, is a male character in the series. The next characteristic of a trickster is the shape-shifting ability of the trickster. Here, Jack does not change his shape, but does disguise himself in the films. In one scene, he disguised himself as the chief of a cannibalistic tribe in Pelegosto, a fictional island in the series.Jack also deviates from the norm expected from pirates. He constantly breaks the rules of the land when he breaks out of prison throughout the series. Jack is a deceiver and a prankster. He plays tricks and pranks on the guards of his prison and on the people with whom he battles. He shows his cleverness and wit when he outsmarts his enemies. With the help of his cleverness, he escapes from his enemies.

How is Dana description of her job at the labor agency as a salve market an example of both verbal and situational irony
Answer:
In a flashback, Dana describes the first time she met Kevin, at which time she was working various low-wage jobs during the day and writing her novel at night. The irony of referring to these jobs as a "slave market" is both verbal and situational. Verbal irony is when words are used to convey the opposite of the literal meaning. Dana and her coworkers refer to their jobs as a "slave market" to express their discontent with the physical nature of the work and the low wages. However, the fact that they are paid for their work supports the opposite fact—this is far from slavery. Even Dana says, "Actually, it was just the opposite of slavery. The people who ran it couldn't have cared less whether or not you showed up to do the work they offered." Situational irony is when there is a disconnect between what a person expects to happen and what actually does happen. The situational irony is that Dana, a free, modern black woman, expects to remain as such. When she is cast back in time and forced to survive real slavery, she witnesses the slave market in its full meaning.

How has line of presidential succession been used in American history? When might it be relevant in the future?
Answer:
The presidential line succession refers to the manner in which various federal government officials assume the office of President of the United States leaves office before an elected successor is inaugurated. Should the president die, resign or be removed from office by impeachment, the Vice President of the United States becomes president for the rest of the former president’s term. Should the vice president be unable to serve, the next official in the line of succession acts as president.
The US Congress has wrestled with the issue of presidential succession throughout the nation's history. Why? Well, between 1901 and 1974, five vice presidents have taken over the top office due to four presidential deaths and one resignation. In fact, between the years 1841 to 1975, more than one-third of all U.S. presidents have either died in office, resigned, or become disabled. Seven vice presidents have died in office and two have resigned resulting in a total of 37 years during which the office of vice president was completely vacant.
