An active voice is a straight out sentence like "She wrote a song". The focus is on the she and that she wrote a song. Simple.
Now the passive voice is different. This is a tip that I use a lot to figure out the difference. Passive voices usually have a to be verb like is, were, was, and a past participle, like learned, cleaned, and watched.
In this case, the sentence in passive voice would be "A song was written by her." Notice how was is a to be verb and written is a part participle.
Hope this clears up any confusion and write in the comments if you have any questions. And good luck on your test :)

What is considered one of the first magical realist story?
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Franz Kafka’s <em>The Metamorphosis</em>

Explanation:

Magical realism is a literary genre that depicts the real world with elements of magic or fantasy. Although it is most commonly associated with Latin American authors, the first example of magical realism is considered to be <em>The Metamorphosis </em>- a novella written by Franz Kafka. It tells the story of a salesman Gregor Samsa, who wakes one morning to find himself transformed into a huge insect and afterward struggles to adjust to his new form.

Some of the elements of stories that belong to the magical realism are:

  • realistic setting
  • magical elements
  • limited information - the magic remains unexplained in order to normalize it as much as possible and make it feel like a part of everyday life.
  • critique - magical realism is often used to criticize society.
  • unique plot structure - there is often no clear beginning, middle, and end, which provides the reader with an intense reading experience.

Roman55 [17]
Old age homes, or retirement homes are advisable for many different reasons. First of all, many of the elderly's children are not able to provide the needed care on a 24/7 basis. In the present day society, both the mother and the father have to work to be able to provide for their own children. By placing their elderly loved on into a retirement home, they are able to continue working, while entrusting their loved one with professional nurses and caretakers. These workers are able to keep a constant eye on the elderly, provide them with balanced meals, give them their daily medications, and provide physical therapy should it be needed.
