Question

Which example from "A Visit of Charity" slows down the pacing of the story? 2.3.7

Answer 1

Hi!

In the story "A visit to charity", the line that marks the slowing down in the pace of the story is the following:

"As she walked vaguely up the steps she shifted the small pot from hand to hand; then she had to set it down and remove her mittens before she could open the heavy door."

In literature, the pace is the speed at which a story is told. In the lines above, we can see how the story is not going fast but instead, the writer takes the time to describe small actions such as the character shifting the pot from one hand to another and setting it down after.

Because the author takes ample time to describe the scenery in this scene, this is considered a slow pace.

Answer 2

Your answer is: She wore a red coat, and her straight yellow hair was hanging down loose from the pointed white cap all the little girls were wearing that year
