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.

What question can you help decide where to break the lines in your poem?

julsineya [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The location of a line break is often dictated by the number of syllables in the line, but just as often it is freely chosen by the poet. Line breaks serve an important function in setting the rhythm of a poem, since they insert a pause between the final word of one line and the first word of the next line. If a poem quotation contains less than three lines, type the text directly into the essay. For more than one line, mark the line breaks by putting a slash between each line, with a space both before and after the slash.

Just remebr all a line break does is seprate a line/sentence into 2 seprate parts.

Which statement best compares the two excerpts? Grendel is described as an unfeeling creature inBeowulf, but he is a sensitive a

uranmaximum [27]

Even though you didn't give us any excerpts, I can still try to help you.
I would say the correct answer is that Grendel is described as an unfeeling creature in Beowulf, but he is a sensitive and emotional character in Grendel.
Based on the system of elimination, that should be the correct answer. B is incorrect because he is scary and monstrous, not comical and ridiculous; C is incorrect because Beowulf acts bravely and honorably in Beowulf, not the other way round; D is incorrect because there is no sympathy towards Grendel in Beowulf because he is a ruthless monster. So this leaves us with A as the correct answer.
