How does Ogden Nash's The Tale of Custard the Dragon , challenge the notion that individuals should conform to societal expectations?

Answer:

Ogden Nash's poem, "The Tale of Custard the Dragon," challenges conformity through its characters and actions . Belinda is brave, while Custard is a coward. This contrast goes against the norm of a dragon being heroic.

The poem also uses a humorous tone to celebrate individuality and difference.

Step-by-Step explanation by Teachoo:

  •    The introductory sentence is "Ogden Nash's poem, "The Tale of Custard the Dragon," challenges conformity through its characters and actions." It restates the main idea of the longer answer in a concise way. 🐉
  •    The body sentence is "Belinda is brave, while Custard is a coward. This contrast goes against the norm of a dragon being heroic." It summarizes the first point that supports the main idea. It is a shortened version of the point in the longer answer. 🦸‍♀️
  •    The concluding sentence is "The poem also uses a humorous tone to celebrate individuality and difference." It summarizes the second point that supports the main idea and wraps up the paragraph. It is a shortened version of the point in the longer answer. 😂
  •  The answer uses transition words to connect the sentences and make them flow smoothly. 💯
