The "subversiveness" of the characters can be presented with real-life examples that show how children behave and think. These characters were portrayed too unreal and innocent before the publication of "Where the Wild Things Are."

The question above does not show the article to which it refers, but it is possible to see that it refers to the works of writer Maurice Sendak. Accordingly, we can answer the questions with the following information:

  • Maurice Sendak wrote children's books that revolutionized the children's literature market.
  • Their books featured characters with realistic behaviors that can be found in any real-life children.
  • That's because Maurice Sendak wrote characters that children could identify with, not characters that showed what adults expected of children.

Although praised by critics, Maurice Sendak had his work considered controversial, because it showed subversive and rebellious characters, in some ways. That's because, before he released his most famous work, "Where the Wild Things Are," the characters in children's books were quite innocent, obedient, without much personality.

Answer: I GOT YOU

As Jonas bikes further and further away form the community, the landscape starts changing. The roads are more makeshift, filled with ruts and stones.

At one point, Jonas hits a stone and the bicycle turns over. Gabriel is fine, but Jonas has twisted an ankle.

Yet Jonas is undaunted, and the little duo continues to travel.

Since the search-planes aren't coming by anymore, Jonas starts to travel in daylight.

The landscape becomes more and more rural. Jonas even sees a bird pass by overhead—the first he's ever seen in real life.

As they move into forest-like territory, they see more and more animals. Jonas is happy about this, a fact only slightly dampened by their impending starvation.

Right, about that… Jonas is running out of food. Amazingly, he goes Survivorman, makes a net out of Gabriel's blanket, and catches two fish from a stream, which they eat raw.

He tries to conjure up memories of food, but they're dim and fleeting.

Jonas takes a moment to ponder the fact that, had he stayed in the community, he would definitely not be starving right now. He made a choice, he realizes, and it was the wrong one.

On the other hand, if he had stayed… well, Gabriel would have died. Jonas also would have starved in other ways, starved for color and emotion.

Then Jonas encounters hills for the first time. On the one hand, he's all excited to see hills. On the other hand, he's on a bike and he has a sprained ankle, so this isn't exactly the best time.

Then it starts raining. Again, this is fun as far as novelty goes, but that's about it. Now they're starving and wet and freezing.

Gabriel, understandably, starts crying.

Jonas does, too, but not for himself. He's not worried about saving himself anymore; he's just concerned about saving Gabriel.

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

The author refers to poetry providing pleasure to those who have read, heard or recited some poetry.

Explanation:

The author also points out in his text that at all times poetry is an alternative form of fun, a way of feeling fully realized, and without poetry we would all be spiritually impoverished. But, to understand this, it is necessary for people to know more deeply what poetry is, since in this aspect people are more concerned with appreciating it than giving it a definition.

How does priestly present mr Birling as a selfish character ?
Anika [276]
One instance of selfishness is with the Birling family, who appear to live in their own “comfortable” bubble of wealth and avarice, which inhibits and warps their views of the world. For instance, the stage directions describe the “suburban” Birling family home as “pink and intimate”. The use of the adjective “pink” connotes ‘rose tinted spectacles’; the sense that the Birling family has a nostalgic, anachronistic and out-of-touch perception of the world, implying they are detached from the realities of modern Britain. This feeling is further augmented when the Inspector arrives and shatters their rapacious ignorance. The lighting changes drastically, going to “brighter and harder”. The implication of such a change is that the Inspector is shining a light (as though in a police interrogation) on areas the Birlings had never previously seen (because of the ignorance afforded to them by their greed and selfishness).

Hope this helps! x
