Answer: Abuela Celia and I write to each other sometimes, but mostly I hear her speaking to me at night just before I fall asleep

Explanation: Magic realism is a literary genre or style of writing associated especially with Latin America that incorporates fantastic or mythical elements into otherwise realistic fiction. It is also sometimes called fabulism, in reference to the conventions of fables, myths, and allegory incorporated within the writing.

Dreaming in Cuban is the first novel written by author Cristina García, and was a finalist for the National Book Award. This novel moves between Cuba and the United States featuring three generations of a single family. The novel focuses particularly on the women; Celia del Pino, her daughters Lourdes and Felicia, and her granddaughter Pilar. The novel is not told in linear fashion but moves between characters, places and times.

The sentence above, which is an example of magic realism, is by Pilar, referring to hearing her grandmother Celia.

First, identify the talents or gifts you have. Do you currently use them, or is it possible that you can use them in the near fu

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Some gifts or talents I have are artistic capabilities and the ability to sing well. I currently use both, however, I don't see myself using them in the future.

Explanation:

My talents can be used to help others by entertaining them or making them feel something. I would offer my singing in numerous places like open mic nights or talent shows. I can offer my art up for display in art shows or other forms of art display.

I think really anyone could benefit from the kind of art I make, but I feel like my singing might appeal to people more my age. I think people would benefit from my art because it makes them feel what my art represents. I think everyone could use a moment away from the world and to be able to just take in art or representative art would really do that.

I don't think it is possible to force influence on a person. People are influenced most by things that make them think or things that connect with them or their life situation. To try and force someone to be influenced by something they don't connect with will only result in them hating the thing and they'll be afraid to connect with their own likings in the future.

What type of rhyme appears in the following two lines of poetry: The wind whipped across the bough/ As the seas against the ship

Lilit [14]

Answer:

End Rhyme

Explanation:

As you may already know, a rhyme is a literary device that allows others to repeat identical or similar sounds in a few words throughout their literary work. This device is used to promote rhythm and musicality to the work.

An End Rhyme occurs when these sounds are established in the last syllables of the lines, as can be seen in the lines shown in the figure above, where the last syllable of the word "bough" (which is the last word of the first line) rhymes with the last dilaba of the word "rough" (which is the last word in the second line).
