Hello. This question is incomplete. the complete question is:

The Diary of a Young Girl

by Anne Frank (excerpt)

Sunday, June 14, 1942

I'll begin from the moment I got you, the moment I saw you lying on the table among my other birthday presents. (I went along when you were bought, but that doesn't count.)

On Friday, June 12, I was awake at six o'clock, which isn't surprising, since it was my birthday. But I'm not allowed to get up at that hour, so I had to control my curiosity until quarter to seven. When I couldn't wait any longer, I went to the dining room, where Moortje (the cat) welcomed me by rubbing against my legs. A little after seven I went to Daddy and Mama and then to the living room to open my presents, and you were the first thing I saw, maybe one of my nicest presents. Then a bouquet of roses, some peonies and a potted plant. From Daddy and Mama I got a blue blouse, a game, a bottle of grape juice, which to my mind tastes a bit like wine (after all, wine is made from grapes), a puzzle, a jar of cold cream, 2.50 guilders and a gift certificate for two books. I got another book as well, Camera Obscura (but Margot already has it, so I exchanged mine for something else), a platter of homemade cookies (which I made myself, of course, since I've become quite an expert at baking cookies), lots of candy and a strawberry tart from Mother. And a letter from Grammy, right on time, but of course that was just a coincidence.

Then Hanneli came to pick me up, and we went to school. During recess I passed out cookies to my teachers and my class, and then it was time to get back to work. I didn't arrive home until five, since I went to gym with the rest of the class. (I'm not allowed to take part because my shoulders and hips tend to get dislocated.) As it was my birthday, I got to decide which game my classmates would play, and I chose volleyball. Afterward they all danced around me in a circle and sang "Happy Birthday." When I got home, Sanne Ledermann was already there. Ilse Wagner, Hanneli Goslar and Jacqueline van Maarsen came home with me after gym, since we're in the same class.

Which memoir structure does this passage follow?

A.)Cause and effect B.)Flashback C.)Chronological D.)List

Answer:

B.)Flashback

Explanation:

A flashback is presented when the narration exposes events that happened in the past and that are being remembered by the narrator. An example of flashback can be seen in the excerpt above, where on June 14, 1942, the narrator is celebrating and narrating the events that happened on June 12, 1942.

In narrations, flachbacks are created through stimuli that provide memory. In the case of the excerpt above, the stimulus occurred when the narrator touched the diary and decided to write the events that occurred before that moment.

Write a short text about Charles dickens and his books. Also some interesting facts but not too long

Iteru [2.4K]

Charles Dickens was the most remarkable Victorian writer. While he was alive, his works counted with great popularity among all social classes, especially with proletariat, a class which dreadful conditions Dickens denounced through his novels.

When he was twelve years old, he found himself in the necessity to work to help in his home. Despite things got better and there was no need of Charles' money in the house, his mother was not willing to let him stop working and that was a decision the future author of Great Expectations, David Copperfield, A Tale of Two Cities and Oliver Twist, among others, would never forget or forgive.

Orphanhood, poverty, upper classes' abuse, proletariat, loneliness and the promise of and ending that would heal the characters' suffering throughout the story, are the main element of a novelist whose purpose was not only to entertain, but to raise awareness of how the difference between social classes made the most vulnerable pay for their uncommitted sins.

In a paragraph, compare and contrast any two of the following forms of poetry: concrete, haiku, or limerick. Your essay should i

kondaur [170]

Limericks and haiku's have some qualities that they share but these two forms of poetry are very different. Haiku's are a from of traditional Japanese poetry, unlike Limerick's origin which is unknown. They are both similar though because each of these forms of poetry have evolved throughout the years and can be used to express, most commonly, feeling towards nature. A haiku's format is much different then any type of poetry, it consists of 3 lines, the firs and last lines of a haiku's only have 5 syllables while the middles line has seven, they generally do not rhyme. Limericks format consist of 5 lines and his usually humorous, The first, second, and fifth lines must have seven to ten syllables while rhyming and having the same verbal rhythm. The third and fourth lines only have to have five to seven syllables, and have to rhyme with each other and have the same rhythm. These two forms are similar in another way, as you can see both of the forms consist of a specific amount of syllables in their lines, although they do not have the same amount needed. Limericks and Haiku are all forms of poetry but poetry is very diverse and similar at the same time!

P.S Here are two examples : Limerick
Caves of blue.
Strike the hue.
Westward, burning.
Pages turning.
Indiana.
Ripe banana.
Happiness approaches.
Serpents and roaches.
Haiku:
Practice makes perfect
Ha.Ha, ha, I don't think so
Ingnore my sobbing

these are both from the Book The Trails of Apollo, the Hidden Oracle by rick Riordan I DO NOT own these.
