Answer:

1. Which two passages are firsthand accounts? How do you know?

Passage B and C. These use the first person point of view.

2. Which passage is a secondhand account? How do you know?

Passage A. It uses the 3rd person point of view.

3. In Passage A, is the author’s perspective with regard to Lewis and Clark’s trip through the Rockies neutral or positive? Why?

Neutral. It is an objective account of the trip.

4. In Passage B, is the author’s perspective with regard to Lewis and Clark’s trip through the Rockies neutral or positive? Why?

Positive. The feeling of joy is positive.

5. How is the author’s perspective in Passage C different from that in Passage B?

Passage C is taken from an outsider’s perspective based on his observation of Clark and Lewis’ expressions and actions while B is a personal account of how Lewis felt.

Explanation:

1. Personal account uses the first person point of view. Passage B is the personal account of Lewis himself; while Passage C is the narration of the group. Both accounts were based on the actual experience.

2. Passage A is a secondhand account because it is a narration or description of somebody who did not actually experience the trip. It also uses the third person point of view as shown in the use of the pronouns "they" and "she."

3. The author's perspective in Passage A is neutral in the sense that there is no indication of any subjectivity such as the feelings of the persons described or author's himself. Also, the author did not include his own opinion about his subject. It is simple and direct.

4. Passage B is the personal account of Lewis. It shows a positive perspective especially with the mention of the word "joy" which is a positive feeling in response to Lewis' personal reaction to the beauty of the sight.

5. Passage C, although narrated in a 1st hand basis just like that of Passage B, is taken from the experience and observation of the other members of the journey. The expressions and feelings of Clark and Lewis are observed. There is also a mention of the description of how difficult the journey was.

Try checking the date, it usually helps. When looking at an out-of-date article, you may find some of the information in it to be incorrect. It is best if you use an up-to-date article or print source for work or essay writing.

Allegory is a figurative language used to express something usually unexpressable otherwise. The allegory can use many forms of communication, even paintings and theater.

In other words, the speaker tells "a" wanting the listener to understand "b". A good example of this is the story of the ant and the grasshopper. The ant worked in the summer preoccupied with the winter, while the grasshopper danced and sung all summer long. The winter came; the ant had food to survive all its duration while the grasshopper was dying of hunger and cold, and asked the ant for help. The allegory here is about time and preparation, the summer represents the human youth, while the winter its old age. The ant and the grasshopper both represent a human being; the ant taught how to age adequately, while the grasshopper showed what happens when we do not think about the future.

Answer: It occurs throughout the entire length of a story, it comments on an abstract theory or historical event, and it contains meanings of social or political significance.

Explanation: An allegory must always tell "a" so it can explain "b". It is impossible for an allegory to tell "a" 90% of the time then, suddenly, start to tell "b". That would destroy the idea of allegory. The allegory of the ant and the grasshopper would make no sense if, in the middle of the story, the ant started to tell it was a human and needed to prepare for its old age; it could get worse if she told its preparation consisted in going to college, marrying, and so on. Therefore, the allegory must be the entire story, not only part of it. Of course, there are, sometimes, stories inside stories, so the allegory can be just one of them.

Also, the allegory always wants to say something beyond what is told. So this meaning that transcends the text (or painting, music etc.) usually has a social or political significance and comments on an abstract theory or historical event. Such is the case of the ant and grasshopper, that has a social meaning and, at the same time, is a comment on an abstract theory that tells how one must conduct life.
