There was once a little girl who was passing through the woods, curious to find berries for her siblings but rather stumbled upon a weird looking cabin. Since she was still young and did not have a concrete knowledge of many things, she stepped into the home as it was unlocked. Inside were full of candies, sweetners on the table, even a chocolate water fall as you go up the stairs. But she also wondered if this was her imagination since on the outside, it looked like every normal cabin in the woods but on the inside was full of magical foods that satisfied her tastebuds. "How was this possible?", she thought to herself but her enjoyment of chocolate and mint kept her blinded from the fact that this house was used as bait to lure little kids. Someone vile, someone who has no remorse and mercy, no compassion or empathy, lived in this very unusual cabin. It was not a human nor an animal, it was a spirit that could change into any form it wants. And during this time, it changed to the little girl's mother. As the little girl fell for the trick, week by week that spirit would suck the life out of her slowly and leaving her skeleton on the floor. The bones were used as a treasure hidden below the house where underneath all that savory goodness was a place full of little souls.
Answer:
This question is incomplete since you have not provided information about the text it refers to. But either way I will help you with an explanation so that you can identify the answer for yourself.
Explanation:
The theme is the axis of a story, the concept around which our history revolves, which structures it. Far from being something concrete, the subject is an abstract concept, and must be able to be represented in a single word. It does not limit us to a space or to a specific time: starting from the same theme we can raise infinite stories.
Some possible topics, so you can get an idea, are love, hatred, pain, ambition, jealousy, narcissism, anguish, anger, infertility, hypochondria, heroism, cruelty ...
A story can have more than one theme, but there will always be one central theme that stands out from the others. That is the one you must identify in order to answer this question correctly.
Hello. You have not shown which text this question refers to, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, after searching for your question on the internet, I was able to find another question, exactly the same as yours in the book "Dobey and son." If that's the case for you, I hope the answer below will help you.
Answer:
The role of this image is to make an analogy about how the baby is wrapped like a muffin being put out to bake.
Explanation:
"Dobey and son" is a novel written by Charles Dickens and presents a darker and more reflective story compared to the other stories by the author. In this novel, we get to know a man who feels overwhelmed by not having a child, which causes him to reject the only daughter he has.
The babies within this narrative are highly valued and in the opening paragraph, we are presented with the image of a muffin. At first, the reader may not understand what this image means, but the reader can see that, as reading progresses, the image makes an analogy to how babies are wrapped in a sheet. The baby rolled up resembles a muffin packaged to bake, as we can see in the lines:
"Son lay tucked up warm in a little basket bedstead, carefully disposed on a low settee immediately in front of the fire and close to it, as if his constitution were analogous to that of a muffin, and it was essential to toast him brown while he was very new. "
I would highlight the second sentence because it seems more reasonable
