3 0

Borges's story The Garden of Forking Paths can be considered to be a three dimensional chess game for a variety of reasons. First, like a game of chess, a nearly infinite number of possible outcomes are proposed through the story (just as how a chess game can allow for a variety of different outcomes). Also, chess is a game of choice, just as the Garden of Forking Paths - both the story itself and the novel of the same titles mentioned in the story - allows for the reader to, in essence, choose their own design and strategy. Furthermore, the lead character\protagonist in the story is manipulating events throughout the story to, in essence, score a "checkmate."

(link attached) What is meant by the last line of the text? How did the Maginot Line serve as an example of this saying? Support

NikAS [45]

Hello. You did not enter the line of text to which this question refers. However, when researching your question, I was able to find a question like yours and realized that the line of text you forgot to present was “Generals always fight the last war”.

Answer and Explanation:

The line “Generals always fight the last war” means the existence of a faith that successful attitudes in the past will be equally successful in the present, even though the present and the past are completely different realities. The Maginot line serves as an example for this sentence because it achieved its goal of protecting France from German invasion during the First World War. Because of this success, it was used again as a strategy in the second world war. However, the two wars were very different, as were the German strategies, which meant that the Maginot line was no longer able to provide any protection to France, which was invaded by Germany.

What is an absolute phrase? And how would i create one?

Aneli [31]

Answer:

An absolute phrase is a type of the phrase which modifies a noun in a sentence, but without being connected to the sentence with a conjunction. An absolute phrase is separated from the rest of the sentence by a comma, and if we remove the phrase the sentence won't lose its original meaning.

e.g. Her luggage has been packed, Sarah went to the airport.

We create an absolute sentence when we want to add some unnecessary detail to our sentence, but without changing its original meaning. In the example above, the first part of the sentence represents the absolute phrase, while the second part of the sentence contains the important information - that Sarah went to the airport.
