Read the excerpt from Adam's personal narrative.

English
1 answer:
padilas [110]2 years ago
5 0

This paragraph develops the characters in the dialogue by showing that Adam is afraid of what is in the water, but Laura is fearless and likes to tease him. Thus, option "C" is correct.

<h3>How, explain your answer?</h3>

This text is providing characterization by telling the reader how differently the two characters react to their environment in a narrative of events.

Adam is shown as fearful through indirect characterization:

"stepped ... carefully;"

"winced;"

"nearly screamed."

On the other hand, Laura is directly described by the narrator as someone who "wasn't afraid of anything." Other hints from the text signal to the reader that she is enthusiastic and adventurous:

"She was the type to dive off a cliff and not even think about what was in the water below;"

"it’s so cool!"

Her "scooping a crab into her hand" and bringing it closer to her face is what is interpreted by the narrator as teasing because Laura is gently mocking his fears by showing how close you can get to what Adam perceives as a danger.

Thus, option "C" is correct.

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

A) Sthuladatta ignores Harisarman, except when he feels he needs him.

This Indian tale named “Harisarman” is about a village Brahmin who becomes wealthy and popular with his fate.

A recent visit to a National Park left you with a close encounter with a tiger, which you escaped narrowly. Express your thought
enot [183]

Answer and Explanation:

August 23

I have just returned from the National Park (name of the park, if you wish to add it). Who would have thought what was meant to be a calm morning out hiking could turn out this way? Frightening, yet inspiring.

A tiger was lurking in the shadows, beneath the tall trees, so leafy the sun could only shine through when their branches moved with the wind. There I stood, face to face with it. It did not seem to appreciate my presence there. While it saw me as a disturbance, I saw it as a threat. My body froze, but my heart did not. I has never beat so fast, so astonishingly rapidly. I bet the tiger could hear it, could sense it. The beating seemed loud even to my human, incapable ears.

The tiger began to walk toward me, slowly and heavily, its paws treading the dirt with a sort of decisiveness only a predator could possess. I readied myself to run, knowing it would be the shortest race of my life. There was no way I could escape it... unless there was. In the distance, something sounded. A gun? Thunder? I don't know. Whatever it was, it saved my life, for the tiger thought better to run away. It wanted to avoid whatever had caused the sound, whereas I wanted to thank it.

I'm lying in bed while I write this... hands still trembling. Still, my bed has never felt so comfortable. The shaky movement of my hands is nothing but a sign that I'm still alive.

NOTE: I got a bit carried away while writing. This has more than 80 words, so feel free to edit it.

BRUTUS. Thy master is a wise and valiant Roman; I never thought him worse. Tell him, so please him come unto this place, He shal
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

He is trusting.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's <em>The Tragedy of Julius Caesar</em> revolves around the murder of Julius Caesar by Brutus and Cassius and the fall of Rome to the numerous hands fighting for its power. This play works on the theme of loyalty, greed, honor, and power.

The given excerpt from Act III scene i of the play is from the scene where a servant of Mark Antony had arrived to relay a message to Brutus. <u>Brutus's response in allowing Antony to come view and mourn the death of Caesar and the promise of his safety shows he's a trusting guy</u>. Even though Cassius warns him against letting Antony give a speech as it might lead <em>"the people [be] moved by that which he will utter"</em>. Cassius has his reservations about letting Antony into Rome but Brutus, being the more trusting guy, allows him to be there with them even though he knows his (Antony) loyalty remains to Caesar.
