Answer:

After doing a close reading, you should analyze the figurative language in a text for the following reason:

b. to reveal hidden meanings.

Explanation:

If a reader relies only on what is denotative, that is, on what is on the surface, he or she will certainly be missing out on a lot of messages that can only be perceived and understood with an open mind and thorough eyes which also attain to what is connotative, that is, to what is between the lines and goes way beyond the core meaning of words.

In Voltaire's "Candide", the main character starts to lead a farmer's life and his friend Pangloss suggests they are living in the best of possible worlds, to which Candide responds with the classic line:

“That is very well put . . . but we must cultivate our garden.”

The author is certainly not literally talking about a garden; he is rather symbolically referring to something that is much more profound and meaningful and lies within the very essence of mankind. Therefore, there is indeed a hidden meaning in those words, and it must be analyzed and interpreted so the reader can better profit from the text.

A third person narrator knows all the characters' feelings and thoughts, an author might choose this perspective to let the reader know everything the characters are feeling and what's going on. This gives a broader perspective on the story and can influence the readers opnion.

Use the question words in parentheses to form a question: Roger's grandfather had a small farm in the county (whose)
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The question we can form using the information in the sentence and the word in parentheses is:

Whose grandfather had a small farm in the county?

Explanation:

<u>"Whose" is a pronoun used to indicate possession, be it in a declarative sentence or in an interrogative one. If I wish to know, for instance, who the owner of a car parked in front of my house is, I can ask: Whose car is this?</u>

<u>Since we are supposed to use "whose" to ask a question as well as the information in the given sentence, we need to find a possession relationship to ask about.</u> Of course, the farm has an owner - the grandfather. But the way the sentence is structure does not allow us to ask about him while using "whose". However, the grandfather "belongs", so to speak, to Roger, and the structure allows us to use "whose" to ask about him. Therefore, the question we can form is:

Whose grandfather had a small farm in the county?
