Why do characters often have complex motivations in stories

English
1 answer:
Aleonysh [2.5K]3 years ago

Characters often have complex motivations in stories because without an interesting plot or without any true meaning given to a characters actions, the story would be meaningless. So if you think about reading a book where the main character hopes to save the world rather than go to Tescos and buy something, there will obviously be a big difference between how the story makes you, the reader, feel like.

Which piece of evidence in "Immigration and Ellis Island" supports the opinion that Europeans came to the United States primaril
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

The author uses as evidence the fact that many immigrants were fleeing poverty in their countries of origin, which presented few job opportunities, unlike the USA.

Explanation:

"Immigration and Ellis Island" shows how, despite the fact that many immigrants in the USA were looking for a way to exercise their religions without suffering persecution, most of them were fleeing poverty and saw in the USA a way to improve their economic conditions. This is because their countries of origin, most of them located in eastern and southern Europe, presented few job opportunities, leaving many of them in a situation of misery. However, the USA had high industrialization and employment opportunities.

Short-response prompt (15 points)
Bogdan [553]

The Balinese production of The Tempestuses shadow puppetry to display an interpretation of William Shakespeare’s famous work. This alternative form of performance focuses more on the fluidity, or sharpness, of the characters’ movement. When analyzing Ariel in this form, it is very apparent that her actions are very projected compared to other characters, by the excess movement of her arms and fingers. However, this projection is shown not with velocity in motion, but with a very smooth complexion in Ariel’s movement. This emphasizes the fragility of her character by connecting her to something very easily tampered with, like the smoothness of still water, that changes with something even as soft as a breeze. The Balinese play also uses the clever technique of utilizing their lighting as a form of portraying Ariel’s character, by physically moving the actor towards and away from the light in order to change the size of the shadow shown. This was well utilized by not only Ariel, but the entire Balinese cast. When Prospero manipulates Ariel into believing that her deed was an act of gratitude for releasing her from her imprisonment, the cast makes Prospero noticeably larger in size and Ariel noticeably smaller. This adds dynamic contrast to the characters and allows the audience to view Ariel as much more timid and frail, as well as Prospero much scarier and evil.
