How do stories shape who we are, and how do our own identities shape our reading choices?

English
1 answer:
GaryK [48]2 years ago

Stories shape who we are because:

  • They open our eyes to see the world and evaluate how we fit into the scheme of things. Stories help us to analyze our circumstances and in doing so, we can understand ourselves.

Our own identities shape our reading choices because:

  • Businessmen will want to read articles related to business while people who are interested in politics will read political articles. Leisure lovers will enjoy entertaining stories.

<h3>What are stories?</h3>

Stories are narratives about events that could be fictional or not. The person whom we are or aspire to be is a motivating factor that will push us to read books and articles in some niches.

So stories shape us by helping us to see the world beyond our own limited views. Naturally, a person will be drawn to events that complement his own life. If there is no common ground, then, there is no attraction.  This is why people who have a formal disposition will reach out to texts that reflect their nature.

What type of figurative language does this show?
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

The correct answer is oxymoron.

Explanation:

Oxymoron is a type of figurative language used when trying to illustrate a rhetoric point.

Here, it is obvious that Queen Elizabeth had a purpose for saying this quote.

What she <u><em>did not</em></u> do was compare two objects (simile or metaphor), give inanimate objects human qualities (personification), use words of noises (onomatopoeia), or use words that start with the same letters (alliteration.)

Therefore, t he correct answer is oxymoron.

Hope this helps! :D

in the story “Rip Van Winkle,” hiw does Washington Irving use ironic elements to describe Rip’s relationship with Dame van Winkl
igomit [66]

The ironic elements that is used to show the relationship between this husband and wife is exaggeration.

<h3>How irony is used in the story</h3>

Van Winkle is said to be a good natured and pleasant person but he is still described as henpecked.

His wife is said to be constantly nagging him and asking him to do household chores yet he is said to be a lazy person.

She is said to be eloquent yet the story tells us of her nagging which is not valuable.
