What purposes does a prologue serve? Check all that apply.
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

A prologue is used to give readers extra information that advances the plot. It is included in the front matter and for a good reason! Authors use them for various purposes, including:

Giving background information about the story. For example, in a sci-fi book, it may be useful to include a description of the alien world, perhaps in a scene that illustrates its essential characteristics and functioning, so as not to confuse readers by plunging them into a completely foreign world in the first chapter (and having to explain it then or leave them lost, which may lead to disinterest).

Grabbing readers' attention with a scene from the story. The author could pick an exciting scene from the middle of the story to draw readers in and make them want to keep reading.

Describing a scene from the past that is important to the story, such as a fire where the main character's father is killed, which is the motivation for the action in the novel.

Giving information from a different point of view. The story is written in first person, and the prologue is in third person. The prologue focuses on a secret of one of the characters (which the main character would have no way of knowing, and the author would not otherwise be able to tell the reader due to the first person perspective).

Expressing a different point in time. For example, the prologue may be about the main character who is in her eighties and who is remembering her childhood, which is when the story takes place (and which begins in Chapter 1).

Answer:

Letter to a newspaper editor about the declining rate of reading practice among students.

Explanation:

C-25,

Subhash Nagar

New Delhi

To,

The Editor

The Times of India

New Delhi

12 March 2019

Dear Sir,

I am writing to you to bring attention to the issue of the declining nature of reading in students. As the world develops and becomes more advanced, so also is the case of the use of technology and the abandonment of textbooks in their physical form. Nowadays, children are only interested in the use of mobile phones, laptops, and tablets to do their studies, all through technology.

Moreover, there are also numerous videos and other mediums that make their work easier. Such things only lead to the abandonment of physical textbooks and notebooks, the use of which is drastically declining even now.

So, I would like to use your esteemed newspaper to bring to the public's attention this issue. Maybe, if school works need not be done through the internet, and if schools and academic works can be done using physical textbooks rather than pdf forms or videos, there is still some hope of keeping the practice of reading physical textbooks alive.

Also, if parents can encourage their children to read more from hardcopy textbooks rather than the pdf versions, and also help them in maintaining reading practices, be it subjects or even storybooks, that can help a long way in keeping the practice alive.

I hope that my points are made and that people can easily understand the issue that I am talking about.

Thank you.

Regards,

Divyansh.

Read the excerpt from "Acres of Diamonds," a speech given by Russell H. Conwell at a graduation ceremony at Temple University. T
bagirrra123 [75]

1. What is the speaker’s purpose and viewpoint in “Acres of Diamonds”? How does the speaker use rhetoric to advance his purpose and clearly convey his viewpoint?  

Answer:

The speaker’s purpose and viewpoint in Acres of Diamonds is to convey the idea that everyone in Philadelphia can get rich by finding diamonds, but first they have to convince themselves that they can really find diamonds. Russell H. Conwell tries to advance his purpose and clearly convey his viewpoint by saying that the people of Philadelphia has many prejudices that does not allow them to see the truth for progressing economically. In addition, he appeals to the younger people of Philadelphia saying that they have not grown up with customs that cannot let them grow believing that there can be a change in their economic lives.    

2. What is the main argument of the passage? What claims does the author make to support the argument? How valid, relevant, and sufficient is the reasoning and evidence used to support the argument and claims? Does the author use false statements or fallacious reasoning to support the argument and claims?  

Answer:

The main argument of the passage is that Philadelphia people can now be rich “within the reach of almost every man and woman”. The reasoning and evidence he uses to support the argument he claims is valid, relevant, and sufficient. First, he appeals to evidence mentioning that a young man found a diamond in North Carolina, appealing to the people common sense of believing that if a young man could find a diamond, anyone can do it. Furthermore, he appeals to an expert voice, a distinguished professor in mineralogy to ask him about where those diamonds came from. The professor assured Conwell that in Philadelphia there is one of the greatest diamond-mines in the world.  

The author uses true and false statements to support his arguments and claims. He mentions that he has been told all his life that if a person has money, it is because he or she is dishonest. This truth has two sides, one that really shows the ugly truth of many people getting rich dishonestly, and the other saying that all rich people are honest. Conwell mistakenly says that the foundation of Philadelphia people is false, and that all rich people are honest, a false argument that excuses him for his eagerness to convince people of Philadelphia to get rich.
