Answer:

The answer is: How much does the author want the job?

Explanation:

From Angelous' experience, we learned many lessons, one of the main ones after reading "Occupation: Conductorette” was persistence. If Angelous hadn't gone to the company every day (being persistent) for she wanted so much the job, otherwise, she wouldn't have continued going there after her first visit in which the lady denied that there was help wanted. But her persistency meant, how much did she really wanted the job. You are persistent when you really want something, when you don't, you just stop trying on the first time.

Your English teacher has asked you to write a story.
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Explanation:

A girl was walking home one day, It was terribly cold and nearly dark on the last evening of the old year, and the snow was falling fast. In the cold and darkness, a poor little girl with bare head and naked feet roamed through the streets. It is true she had on a pair of slippers when she left home, but they were not of much use. They were very large, so large, indeed, for they had belonged to her mother and the poor little girl had lost them in running across the street to avoid two carriages that were rolling at a terrible rate.

One of the slippers she could not find, and a boy seized the other and ran away with it saying he could use it as a cradle when he had children of his own. So the little girl went on with her little naked feet, which were quite red and blue with the cold. In an old apron, she carried a number of matches and had a bundle of them in her hands. No one had bought anything of her the whole day, nor had anyone given her even a penny. Shivering with cold and hunger, she crept along, looking like the picture of misery. The snowflakes fell on her fair hair, which hung in curls on her shoulders, but she regarded them not.

Lights were shining from every window, and there was a savory smell of roast goose, for it was New-year's eve, yes, she remembered that. In a corner, between two houses one of which projected beyond the other, she sank down and huddled herself together. She had drawn her little feet under her, but could not keep off the cold. And she dared not go home, for she had sold no matches.

Her father would certainly beat her; besides, it was almost as cold at home as here, for they had only the roof to cover them. Her little hands were almost frozen with the cold. Ah! perhaps a burning match might be some good, if she could draw it from the bundle and strike it against the wall, just to warm her fingers. She drew one out- "scratch!" how it sputtered as it burnt. It gave a warm, bright light, like a little candle, as she held her hand over it. It was really a wonderful light. It seemed as though she was sitting by a large iron stove. How the fire burned! And seemed so beautifully warm that the child stretched out her feet as if to warm them, when, lo! the flame of the match went out!

The stove vanished, and she had only the remains of the half-burnt match in her hand.

She rubbed another match on the wall. It burst into a flame, and where its light fell upon the wall it became as transparent as a veil, and she could see into the room. The table was covered with a snowy white table cloth on which stood a splendid dinner service and a steaming roast goose stuffed with apples and dried plums. And what was still more wonderful, the goose jumped down from the dish and waddled across the floor, with a knife and fork in it, to the little girl. Then the match went out, and there remained nothing but the thick, damp, cold wall before her.

She lighted another match, and then she found herself sitting under a beautiful Christmas tree. It was larger and more beautifully decorated than the one she had seen through the rich merchant's glass door. Thousands of tapers were burning upon the green branches, and colored pictures, like those she had seen in the shop-windows, looked down upon it all. The little one stretched out her hand towards them, and the match went out.

She again rubbed a match on the wall, and the light shone round her; in the brightness stood her old grandmother, clear and shining, yet mild and loving in her appearance.

In the dawn of morning there lay the poor little one, with pale cheeks and smiling mouth, leaning against the wall. She had been frozen on the last evening of the year; and the New-year's sun rose and shone upon a little child. The child still sat, holding the matches in her hand, one bundle of which was burnt.

"She tried to warm herself," said some. No one imagined what beautiful things she had seen, nor into what glory she had entered with her grandmother, on New-year's day.

Hope this helped you!

Write a fictional scene. Write a single scene about an important, fictional event. The scene must establish a clear point of view
STALIN [3.7K]

You can write a fictional scene where a king is betrayed by his own son who wants to usurp the throne, and you can use a third-person point of view.

<h3>How to write a scene</h3>

To write this fictional scene, you must first decide what you want to write about. We can, for instance, think of a scene in which betrayal is involved. Therefore, the elements of the scene would be the following:

  • Point of view: third person limited.
  • Setting: 16th century, Iberian Peninsula, a castle.
  • Characters: King Carlos and his son Prince Henrique.
  • Conflict: character vs character. Prince Henrique has betrayed his own father.

An example of such a scene would be the following:

  • "You?" the king's voice resonated, even though it sounded broken for the first time in his life. Prince Henrique's footsteps echoed in the hall as he walked towards his father, the cold stone walls of the throne room reverberating as if an earthquake were taking place with each step he took. Henrique shrugged, "I'm surprised you didn't see it coming, father." King Carlos could no longer stand. He fell back onto the throne, dropping his sword. Outside, he could hear the screams and the clashing, metallic sounds he knew so well. A battle was taking place, and man against man, sword against sword, violence reigned. Henrique unsheathed his own sword. "I do not wish to kill you, old man. Surrender already." Carlos reached for his own fallen sword and grasped its golden hilt. "I never thought I would have to murder my own son," he whispered. "But you are a traitor, Henrique, and no traitor shall remain alive."

The scene above is simply an example. Feel free to adapt it and add details.

Rewrite the end of the story from the point of view of<br> one of the children of Río en Medio.
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The new owners of the land where our trees grow seems not to want us around our trees anymore. But we do not cause any trouble and the trees are really ours even though the land now belongs to them.

Maybe, we just have to sell the trees to them as they have requested from the Don. The Don knows better, and he advised we sell it to them as they are good people. We will go back to our lands and leave the trees to them. But we are really going to miss playing and having fun around our trees again. I hope we find another playground soon enough.

Explanation:

Since the children only really played around the trees that we're really theirs, it would be quite confusing to them when the new landowners do not welcome their presence. It would also take sometime for them to finally get over not going to the trees again even after they might have reluctantly sold the trees.
