Read the excerpt from "The Scarlet Ibis."
Doodle was frightened of being left. "Don't go leave me, Brother," he cried, and he leaned toward the coffin. His hand, trembling, reached out, and when he touched the casket he screamed. A screech owl flapped out of the box into our faces, scaring us and covering us with Paris green. Doodle was paralyzed, so I put him on my shoulder and carried him down the ladder, and even when we were outside in the bright sunshine, he clung to me, crying, "Don't leave me. Don't leave me."
What do Doodle's repeated pleas of "Don't leave me" foreshadow?
Later in the story, the narrator races ahead and leaves Doodle to struggle behind during a terrible storm.
Hope this helps!
The first quote talks about how people won’t realise what they have until it’s gone, as suggested by “some day you wil love me, but I won’t love you” The repetition of “some day“ shows that the narrator has no clue of when this will happen but is certain that it will at some point.
The second quotation has a similar theme to the previous quote in which the subject of the quote didn’t realise what they had until it was gone or in this specific case the narrator “moved on” The use of emotive language “cared” “hurt and “cried’ makes the reader seem sympathetic for the narrator and is to some extent character development on both the subject and the narrator.
The third quote is slightly different. This quotation talks about sensory language and how you can stop yourself from seeing things but you can’t force your heart to not feel. ”close your heart to the things you don’t want to feel” is used to affect the readers emotions and make them understand the narrators thoughts.
Hope this helps!
The first questions answer is B
Whilst the second question answer is A
The readers understanding would change without different points of view shown through dialogue because without characters point of view shown through dialogue there is nothing there to form the readers opinion and understanding of the characters feelings and thoughts. In the Hobbit, dialogue is very important for the readers understanding. For example, Bilbo Baggins shares his thoughts, feelings, and ideas throughout his adventures, along with many other characters. Without Bilbo expressing his point of view through dialogue, the reader would have no idea what he is feeling, along with all of the other characters, Dialogue builds a picture in the readers head and without that picture the reader won't have an accurate idea of what the author intended the reader to think.
I hope this helps! :)
