How does the book "The Princess Bride" by William Goldman serve as a bridge between three generations?

English

svp [43]4 years ago
8 0

Because it merges the fairy tale stories of the past with the cynicism, and wit of the current generation

Explanation:

The book 'The Princess Bride' is one of the best fairy tales and an example of the form being relevant even in a time when it is not.

The author has deftly used the trope of the form to his advantage and written a classic fairy tale with a setup of folk and traditional tales.

At the same time, the book is original enough and relevant enough for the current generation and holds up with updated humor and wit of this generation.

Drag each tile to the correct box. Which type of context clue will help define each underlined word? definition clue synonym clu
vodomira [7]

Answer:

1. Dion noticed that the campsite location was obscure (remote). - synonym clue

2. Pia couldn't wait to visit the menagerie—the place where the animals were kept. - definition clue

3. Unlike her last dog, who didn't know the meaning of loyalty, Violet's new dog is a staunch friend. - antonym clue

Explanation:

In sentence 1, we are literally given the synonym of the word in parentheses. The author guesses the word "obscure" might be unknown to some readers and decides to offer another word that carries the same meaning as it - a synonym - to help clarify. That is why the word "remote" is added right after "obscure".

In sentence 2, the author chose to define or explain the word "menagerie", almost like a dictionary would. He/she adds a dash after the word to then include the definition. We now know that a menagerie is the place where animals were kept.

Finally, in sentence 3, we can figure out the meaning of "staunch" by comparing it to the word "loyalty". Two dogs are being compared. One does not understand loyalty. The other one, however, is staunch. We can safely assume the latter is loyal, faithful, because of such a comparison. What the author did here was use words that have opposite meanings - antonyms - to reveal the meaning of the unknown word.
