Why did the author chose the title “Words On Fire” for the book? Does it have any significance or special meaning to the book?

History
1 answer:
9966 [12]2 years ago
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

The rise of modern japan what was commodore perry’s significant contribution to the beginning of japan’s transformation?
Anna [14]
<span>Commodore Perry was an American naval officer. He was notable for the signing of Convention of Kanagawa in 1854. This treaty was important in opening up Japan’s relations with Western countries, since prior to 1854, Europeans had almost limited or no contact with the Japanese. This volatile period saw the fall of the Tokugawa Shogunate, where Japan concluded with the Meiji Restoration in 1868 and the development of Japan as a modern nation state. Hence, Commodore Perry’s was significant as he allowed USA to be the first nation with extra territorial trading rights in Japan. Combined with the Asian security climate in the 1850s9Opium Wars, Arrow War, etc) and the rise of colonialism, Japan saw such pressures threatening and hence had to concede by opening of several ports to foreign trade. Hence, the privy council, on fear of having to deal with foreign colonists just like China had after the Opium Wars, decided to embark on a program of economic and military modernization, angering the conservative Imperialists (Shogunate). These factors cultimated to the economic development of Japan in the late 19th Century. Consequently, it can be said that Commodore Perry’s arrival led to a chain of events which propelled Japan not only as a military superpower but an economic force in Asia in the early 20th century.</span>
