Read this excerpt from Holes. Stanley’s great-great-grandfather was named Elya Yelnats. He was born in Latvia. When he was fifte

en years old he fell in love with Myra Menke. (He didn’t know he was Stanley’s great-great-grandfather.) Myra Menke was fourteen. She would turn fifteen in two months, at which time her father had decided she should be married. Why does Sachar include the line “He didn’t know he was Stanley’s great-great-grandfather” in this flashback?

Answer:

It is a funny way of pointing out that Stanley and Elya are clearly not living at the same time.

Explanation:

This is the excerpt from Louis Sachar's novel "Holes". He is famous children and young adults author.

Now, regarding this excerpt, it is quite obvious that Elya is Stanley's great-great-grandfather and, of course, there was no way Elya, at the time, could have known that he's going to have a great-great-grandson, let alone some detailed information.

This makes that line rather unnecessary. But it also can suggest that its only purpose is comedic effect by stating an obvious thing.

This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.

Write a summary of Nights and Dragons—From the memoir of author Abigail Prynne

Answer:

The sound of thunder reminds the author of her ideas on whether dragons could have been real or not. She explains that she has always had a fascination with dragons that she saw in storybooks, paintings, movies, and even her dreams, and decided a an early age to find out if they were real. Despite finding that most scientists have strong evidence to prove dragons did not exist, she found inspiration in her grandmother´s words to keep her quest.

Explanation:

Then she found that many different cultures had described dragons in similar ways, and not only fictional as they were present in old legal papers, travel logs, and even the Bible, which led her to believe that the creature could actually have existed. Furthermore, she found some Biologists who strongly disagreed with the prevailing evidence against dragons.

She remains unsure of the answer, but the thunder reminds her of dragons, rekindling her childhood dreams and keeping the fascinating possibility alive.

"I showed you yesterday " is which clause
Anna [14]
"I showed you yesterday" is an independent clause because it can be a standalone sentence and expresses a complete thought compared to a dependent clause which cannot stand by itself and only supports a sentence.<span />
