The excerpt from "A Jury of Her Peers" by Susan Glaspell narrates an event that represents, concerning the stage of the plot structure, C) Climax.
The <em>climax,</em> in a narrative, is <em>a literary element that expresses the turning point of the story; a moment of tension or drama when the action starts or develops itself.</em> It can be understood from this excerpt that the event narrated represents the climax of the story. <em>"With a rush forward, she threw back the quilt pieces, got the box, tried to put it in her handbag (...) Desperately she opened it, started to take the bird out. But there she broke—she could not touch the bird"</em>. This passage presents a <em>moment of tension</em> in which a <em>problem or unsolved situation</em> appears. The sentence <em>"There was the sound of a knob turning in the inner door"</em> creates even <em>more tension</em> and takes the reader to a moment of <em>interest and excitement</em>. The excerpt ends with the character of Martha hiding a box inside her coat from the county attorney. <em>"Mrs. Hale's hand was against the pocket of her coat"</em>, the author says at the end of the excerpt, <em>maintaining the climax unsolved and the tension unbroken</em>. So, the correct answer would be C) Climax.
The correct answer couldn't be <em>A) Exposition</em> because an exposition is a technique that consists of <em>the presentation of background information within a story.</em> It could be <em>historical context, prior plot events, characters' backstories</em> etc. This excerpt <em>doesn't bring any additional information</em> to the plot, so, the correct answer couldn't be A.
The correct answer couldn't be <em>B) Resolution</em> because the resolution in a narrative is when <em>everything is solved and there is a closure</em>. This excerpt <em>doesn't bring a conclusion or closure</em> to the plot, hence, the correct answer couldn't be B.
The correct answer couldn't be<em> D) Falling action </em>because the falling action occurs <em>right after the climax and leads the plot to its closure</em>. It is when the <em>main problem or tension resolves itself</em>. This excerpt<em> doesn't convey a solution to the problem or tension</em>, on the contrary, <em>the tension maintains itself</em>. Thus, the correct answer couldn't be D.
Answer: Hello, I can give you some summarys but i dont know if it wold help so.......
Explanation: Shortly after Herbert’s execution, Stevenson visits death row to catch up with several new clients, including Walter. Afterward, he travels to Monroeville to meet Walter’s large extended family. Gathered together in a small trailer, they passionately explain to Stevenson their indignation at Walter’s conviction, particularly when they were all with him at the time of the murder. Stevenson writes that the family’s hums of agreement were the kind of “wordless testimony of struggle and anguish” he heard “all the time growing up in a rural black church.” Walter’s sister Armelia expresses that the court’s dismissal of Walter’s alibi makes her feel that she has been “convicted too.” A debate arises about whether or not Walter, whom they call “Johnny D”, even needed an alibi, given his upstanding character.
I peeked through the curtains. There was a limousine parked outside width two body guards. I heard a knock at the door. It was my escort. In this moment I had finally realized all my hard work had payed off. After many years of work, sweat and tears I was finally one of the world’s top ten businessmen. I rode in the protective car with the three men. Once we had made it to my office I had sat down to do my work a per usual. This time felt strange, I felt as if I was being watched. I felt a gun to the back of my head, i hear a familiar voice telling me to do as she says. It was my ex-wife to take away everything i had worked so hard for. She pulled the trigger and shot, and in that moment I had died of jealousy, the thought that kills.
hope this helps :)
