The balloon rocketed into the sky. Though we were frightened, everything ended up being fine.
- The word "quickly" can be removed because speed is implied with the word "rocketed"
- The phrase "into the really cold air" can be removed because it is irrelevant to what's happening. It can be replaced by "into the sky"
- Now "up" can be removed because "into the sky" implies that the balloon went upwards.
- Either the word "scared" or "frightened" can be removed because they're synonyms (I chose to remove "scared")
- "Because it was moving really fast" can be removed because the use of the word "rocketed" beforehand already implies that the balloon was moving fast.
- Lastly , I just reworded and conjoined some of the sentences to make them read more clearly though this isn't necessary. (I changed the third sentence from "However, it was all good in the end," to "everything ended up being fine." I also combined the second and third sentences, adding "though" in front of the second sentence to make it a dependent clause)
Answer:
conversation between two or more people as a feature of a book, play, or movie
Explanation:
<em>How does this excerpt support the idea that the story is told by an unreliable narrator?</em>
- <em>It supports the idea that the story is told by an unreliable narrator because it has intratextual signs saying that the narrator is contradicting himself by showing that he or she does not remember the facts well. In the sentence, “Agnes said she had seen no one, and I saw that she thought I was dreaming” it is clearly stated the unreliability of the narrator, Agnes finds very unlikely that there was a woman the afternoon before, and thinks the narrator is not making proper sense of what he or she is saying. Another fact that shows the unreliability of the narrator is that it was dark when they went down the passage and they did not bring a light, so it is very unlikely that the narrator had seen anything.</em>
