A short story's setting is made of time and place.

Apart from plot (what is going on) and characters (who is doing what they are doing), the setting (where and when is the plot happening) is the most important element of a short story. The interpretation of a short story depends very much on how the author has described the setting. It provides a context for the events.

The writer’s revision of the original paragraph below demonstrates which one of the following? Original: During our monthly meet
kondaur [170]

Answer:

Even though this question is missing the options, after analyzing the revision we can safely say it was made for <u>conciseness</u>.

Explanation:

Conciseness can be simply defined as saying a lot in just a few words. Notice how the original paragraph is much longer than the revised one. The writer gave much more information than what was truly necessary. Details such as "and that new procedures need to be initiated" and "who was sympathetic" are superfluous. The first one adds nothing of value. If the procedures are inadequate, it is quite obvious that new ones need to be initiated. Readers could infer that. The second one is permeated with subjectivity, not only making the paragraph longer, but also stating an opinion that in uncalled for in this context. By eliminating the extra words, the writer made the paragraph concise, using fewer words to express the necessary.

This question has two parts. First, answer Part A. Then, answer Part B. Part A What is a central idea of this passage? American
Gemiola [76]

<u>Answer to Part A:</u> American Gothic represents Grant Wood's personal view of midwesterners.


The speaker in the text intends to defend the meaning of the painting from claims of its mocking depictions of midwesterners. It is stated a the painting had a deeper meaning about society, one that goes beyond the common observer's understaing.


The rest of the options are not the text's central idea since:


  • The atmosphere of the painting does not revolve around medieval times, since that era ended in the 15th century. The figures in the painting represent americans, nation that was founded much later in time.
  • In the text, it is not considered that the painting is a joke - quite the contrary -. The counter-argument to this is supported by the speaker.
  • There are no political parties involved in this context, which denies the fact that the painting is a political statement.

<u>Answer to Part B:</u> "The irony is that the original painting itself may have been making more of a comment on society than many observers realize".


This statement supports the idea that beyond the observer's judgement on the depiction of the characters in the painting, the real meaning of this work might comprise the painter's personal view on the society being disputed over, the midwesterns.
