he excerpt from Outcasts United. Beatrice walked outside with Jeremiah and explained her concerns to Coach Luma: she wanted to k

now that her son would be safe and with an adult. She wanted to know how to get in touch with Luma if something went wrong. And she wanted to make sure that Jeremiah wasn't walking alone through Clarkston. "She did the bulk of the talking," Luma recalled. "She said that Jeremiah was her baby and she wanted to know where he was going." Luma promised to pick Jeremiah up before practice and to drop him off afterward. He wouldn't have to walk alone. She gave Beatrice her cell phone number and promised to be reachable. What are the effects of using an omniscient narrator in this excerpt?

Remember that "omniscient" means all-knowing, in other words, someone that knows everything that happens at all times, something like a god. The narrator is the one that tells the story, so an omniscient narrator tells us the story with the knowledge of everything that happens in it. We can know the character's feelings, thoughts, and actions through it. This type of narrator limits itself to tell the story without forming part of it, the characters are not aware of it's existence.

In this excerpt it is useful as we can see the point of view of the mother, Beatrice, that is worried for her son; as well as the point of view of the coach and his commitment. We can understand in a better way why things happened the way they did.

Over the course of the play, does the character of Alice change? In 75 to 100 words, explain whether you believe Alice changes b
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

I believe that Alice changes over the course of the play because at the beginning of the story Alice is curious, childish, and imaginative and at the end of the story she is brave, fearless, has a good understanding of everything, and is more involved with Wonderland because she is trying to help people out. I think this because throughout the story, Alice experiences frequent physical changes. She's constantly shrinking and growing, she struggles to maintain a comfortable size. She begins to manage situations and handle them as an adult would, she learns to stand up to authority in order to get taken seriously, such as the Queen of Hearts.

Explanation:

Alice matures over the course of the play. For instance, at the beginning of the play she is shown as a bright and timid girl. When she first meets the Red Queen, she is polite and pays attention to the queen. Although the queen talks nonsense about the advantages of not having a name, Alice doesn’t challenge her:

RED QUEEN: It’s time for you to answer now; open your mouth a little wider when you speak, and always say, “Your Majesty.” I suppose you don’t want to lose your name?

ALICE: No, indeed.

When Alice meets the Red Queen at the end of the play, she doesn’t stand for the queen’s nonsense. Alice is not afraid to say what she is thinking:

ALICE: Please, would you tell me—

RED QUEEN: Speak when you’re spoken to.

ALICE: But if everybody obeyed that rule, and if you only spoke when you were spoken to, and the other person always waited for you to begin, you see nobody would ever say anything, so that—

RED QUEEN: Preposterous.

ALICE: I only said “if.”

Alice’s response to the Red Queen shows that she becomes more confident over the course of the story.

Change this following passive voice into active voice.. laxmi is loved by her parents.​
Talja [164]

The parents love laxmi, if this many words taken out for the active voice isn't sustainable, and you only need to know how to do an active voice...it's simply the passive voice in reverse. So for an active voice it would be the doer of the action, followed by the action, to the receiver of the action
