Which sentence in this excerpt from a literary analysis essay is most likely the thesis statement

English

Dmitrij [34]2 years ago
4 0

The given question is incomplete as the excerpt is not given. The excerpt should be given below:

'O. Henry's short story "The Gift of Magi" is about a couple who are deeply in love. Della and Jim are poor, but they each want to buy the other a special Christmas present. Because they have no money, they sell their own priced possessions to be able to afford presents for each other. O. Henry uses his short story "The Gift of Magi" to show that poverty cannot affect true love. Despite having no luxuries, Della and Jim are willing to make sacrifices for each other because their love is true.'

The sentence in this excerpt from a literary analysis essay which is most likely the thesis statement is 'O. Henry uses his short story "The Gift of Magi" to show that poverty cannot affect true love.'  A thesis statement is typically stated in a single sentence, however it might be repeated elsewhere.

  • O. Henry illustrates that true love is unaffected by poverty in his short story "The Gift of Magi" because it captures the essence of his point.
  • Della sells her hair so that she may afford a chain for Jim's pocket watch, while Jim sells his lovely pocket watch so that he can buy a brooch for Della's lovely long hair.
  • As a result, their tangible gifts are meaningless, but one has nonetheless shown the other that they are capable of sacrificing their most valued assets for one another, so demonstrating their love for one another.
  • The real gift they both receive from the Magi on that particular Christmas day is this realisation.

Therefore, the sentence in this excerpt from a literary analysis essay which is most likely the thesis statement is 'O. Henry uses his short story "The Gift of Magi" to show that poverty cannot affect true love.' An essay's, research paper's, etc. core idea or claim is succinctly summarised in the thesis statement.

A story's tells you the who, what, when, and where of the story. flashback exposition setting character​
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Exposition.

Explanation:

A story's exposition is the background details of the character(s), setting, or other elements of the story. In other words, we can say that a story's exposition tells us the details of the story before the current scene, like details about the past or anything that can give us information about the story.

A flashback is about past events, memories, while the setting only revolves around the scene, the time, or place of the story. A character is the "who" of the story.

Thus, the element of a story that tells us the "who, what, when, and where" is the exposition.
