History

3 0

The author chose the title “Words On Fire” for the book to portray the relevance and the imports of the book. However, the author Jennifer A. Nielsen does not showcase much fire as the title depicts to her words in this uncommon story with a lot to teach about the importance of books and literature. The plot is steady, but neither it nor main character Audra have much spark or fire to them because Nielsen does not take advantage of the important moments to really show Audra's changing understanding and appreciation of books.

<h3>What is the synopsis of Words On Fire?</h3>

Words On Fire tells the story of a 12-year-old Audra, living peacefully on her parents' farm in Lithuania in the 1800s. She knows that Russian Cossack soldiers have lorded themselves over Lithuania, but she figures everything will be fine if she minds her own business. Till the time when a squad of Cossacks come to the farm, arrest her parents, and burn their house down. As her mother is urging Audra to flee, she gives her a package with instructions to deliver it to a village 20 kilometers away. Audra barely manages to escape by fleeing into the woods. Most surprising of all, the girl who can't even read or write learns why books are worth facing terrible danger and enduring hardship and sacrifice.

Therefore, the correct answer is as given above
