Read the paragraph from Lucy’s narrative. I could see that my neighbor was struggling with the lone bag of groceries cradled in

her arms, but I wasn’t sure what I should do. Grandma June—what all the neighborhood kids had called her for as long as I could remember—had always been the one to care for us, to help us build stronger forts, to grow better flowers, and to learn from our mistakes. To ask if she needed help with something as simple as carrying in one bag of groceries would be like shouting to the world that she was aging, that she was no longer as strong as she once had been. Hesitantly, I walked to the wooden gate that divided our front lawn from hers and stood there as the package she was carrying threatened to spill from her arms. Which element of a narrative should Lucy include next to most effectively move the story forward? a sentence that clearly establishes who is telling the story a reflection that explains what the writer learns from the experience a detailed description of the package in Grandma June’s arms a few lines of dialogue between the writer and Grandma June

Read the paragraph from Lucy’s narrative.

I could see that my neighbor was struggling with the lone bag of groceries cradled in her arms, but I wasn’t sure what I should do. Grandma June—what all the neighborhood kids had called her for as long as I could remember—had always been the one to care for us, to help us build stronger forts, to grow better flowers, and to learn from our mistakes. To ask if she needed help with something as simple as carrying in one bag of groceries would be like shouting to the world that she was aging, that she was no longer as strong as she once had been. Hesitantly, I walked to the wooden gate that divided our front lawn from hers and stood there as the package she was carrying threatened to spill from her arms.

Lucy decides that this may not be the most effective way to tell her story. If she wants to create more suspense in the plot, what would be the best possible change she could make?

She could remove the background information about her past with Grandma June, allowing suspense to build as the reader wonders who Grandma June is.

She could include more reasons she is hesitant to assist Grandma June, allowing suspense to build as the reader begins to believe she will not help.

She could start with the last sentence instead, allowing suspense to build as the reader wonders why she is hesitant to ask if Grandma June needs help.

She could begin with more stories about Grandma June, allowing suspense to build as the reader wonders why she is talking about Grandma June.

The answer is:

a few lines of dialogue between the writer and Grandma June

In the paragraph from Lucy's narrative, the author should include a conversation between the narrator and Grandma June to move the story forward more effectively. In that matter, because the account hooks the reader as to get to know how Lucy approaches her neighbor, it should contain an exchange between them.

Read the passage, in which Mark Antony delivers his funeral speech for Julius Caesar: A theme Antony conveys in his funeral spee
Trava [24]

I haven't a full answer for you, but here's how I'd suggest you start it:

There's clear evidence of your theme in the lines "When the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept."

Reason being: Brutus only <em>told (verbally) </em>the people that Caesar was ambitious, giving <em>no </em>examples that are actual proof of how the great Julius Caesar acted. However, Mark Antony states right off the bat of what Caesar had done in his life-time. Antony decidedly debunks Brutus of any honourable traits as he continues with his Eulogy, as the more Antony says Brutus is "honourable," the more it is hypocritically placed. (<em>What I'm trying to say here is the more Antony says Brutus is honourable, it actually counter-intuitive, Antony is trying to take away any honour the horrible man had.)</em>

What do waterbury residents observations reveal about people's feelings and behavior toward fortune?
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The observations by Waterbury residents reveals that they never felt Fortune was a true human.

Explanation:

'Fortune's Bone' is a historical writing by Pamela Espeland. The writing reveals about Fortune, an African-American slave owned by Dr. Porter. It is said that Dr. Porter reserved Fortune's body after his death to study anatomy of human being.

The paragraph 18 of the text reveals that the residents of Waterbury never felt that Fortune was truly a human being. After he was founded and given to the museum, his skeleton was named 'Larry' and was considered to be a war hero.

Thus there were many stories created regarding the Fortune's bones that residents of Waterbury hardly imagined that he was truly a human being.
