ipn [44]

Answer and Explanation:

Twain avoided "literary offenses" by not mentioning these works throughout the narrative. This was significant because Twain keeps his attention on the narrative itself, specifically stimulating the themes that the narrative addresses.

In this case, instead of provoking criticism to other known works and authors, Twain highlights a narrative with themes that provoke reflections on regional differences and stereotypes, a sense of community and personal integrity.

Summarize Ben Roger’s sounds and movements in lines 20-44. Identify the phrases that best help you picture what he’s doing.
Likurg_2 [28]

This is the introduction of Ben Rogers in the story of Tom Sawyer. Ben Rogers is another boy of Tom's age in the story who is tricked, first, in completing the whitewash task of Tom given by his aunt.

Explanation:

This part of the story where Tom starts to white wash the fence and waits for someone to pass by so as to trick them into completing the task given to him.

These lines describe how Ben Rogers is, as a person, very light and soft at heart. His expectations on life and its take on him are very high, as though he can climb mountains in a second. His signature was to 'hop-jump'.

The lines where he is shown to be bouncing all the time while he is walking, show us that his carefree, naturally high on environment and life make us understand that he is unlike Tom.

He is also very playful, dramatic and willingly notorious in his introduction. The description of his action while he is crossing Tom shows us that he enjoys little things in life more than what is expected and is happy about what he has got.

The <em>below lines from the chapter, depict his character:</em>

<em>"He was eating an apple, and giving a long, melodious whoop, at intervals, followed by a deep-toned ding-dong-dong, ding-dong-dong, for he was personating a steamboat. As he drew near, he slackened speed, took the middle of the street, leaned far over to starboard and rounded to ponderously and with laborious pomp"</em>

Answer:

A. critical

Explanation:

Q:

What type of listening involves listening for facts and details to understand the speaker's message?

A:

critical

it critical that is what i think it is

yes critical thinking is da answer

Reflective listening occurs when you ask questions and use the speaker’s responses to form new questions.

Situations that require reflective listening include

class or group discussions; and

interviews.

The difference between critical and reflective listening is subtle.

Critical listening involves making evaluations about material you hear. Reflective listening does not require you to make such evaluations. Instead, you are participating in a discussion by asking questions in response to what someone has said.

Appreciative listening occurs when you identify and analyze artistic elements, such as character development in a movie, rhyme in a spoken poem, and descriptive language in a story.

Situations that require appreciative listening include

oral presentations of a poem;

dramatic performances; and

concerts.

Empathetic listening occurs when you imagine yourself in the other person’s position and try to understand what he or she is thinking or feeling. The speaker feels valued and respected since the listener responds with feeling or compassion.

Situations that require empathetic listening include

personal conversations with friends or family; and

one-on-one conversations with a co-worker or teacher.

Critical listening is listening for facts and supporting details so you can make evaluations and judgments about what you hear.

Critical listening is also active. The more you involve yourself in the listening process, the more you will understand the words being spoken.

Situations that require critical listening include

informative or persuasive speeches;

class discussions; and

announcements.

Types of Listening

Different situations call for different types of listening.

For example, you use different listening skills when you have a conversation with a friend than when you listen to a teacher.

While there are two ways to listen, there are four main types of listening: critical, empathetic, appreciative, and reflective.

When taking notes, pay attention to the kinds of situations that go with these four types of listening.
