Realistic fiction is fiction that could happen in real life. For example, the fault in our stars is an example of realistic fiction.
Edgar Allan Poe used literary devices to make the readers feel like the
setting, people and emotions in the story seem like real.
3. The
characters are described on how their characteristic changed because of
problems and how they act on it to solve the problem.
4. Poe is a
writer in the Romantic era and most of his works deal with intuition and
emotion. The subject matter of art should deal with the emotions, and
the greatest art was that which had a direct effect on the emotions. So,
the audience are expected to have an emotional connection to the
story.
I'd say the fact that the characters are talking animals is a pretty good indicator that this story was made for children.
In chapter 3, Namesake, Candace Lapidus is introduced in the story as the principal of the school who will be taking Gogol's registration. During their meeting with Gogol's parents, she noticed that Nikhail is the written name on the registration but the parents call the kid Gogol. She then asks the kid what name he prefers and decides to go by it.
This instance shows Candace Lapidus as the archetype of a teacher because she has a genuine interest in the kid. She focuses on the things that will make the kid feel relevant and be more responsive. These are traits most commonly found in teachers.
I have no idea what AP English 11 is like.
I think AP Bio is a difficult class to take. Bio may seem easy, but AP Bio is a whole different world. I would not recommend taking it unless you have a very good work ethic and you enjoy biology.
Don't take an AP class just to take one, choose one that you are intrested in.
