Think about any idioms you might use, where if you really analyzed the actual words, they wouldn’t make much sense, but the big

picture means something different. Write anything down that you can think of, and a brief explanation of what it means. The goal is to have you think a bit more critically about phrases that we tend to take for granted. Then, over the next three days, pay attention to any idioms you hear. If you hear anything that you’ve already written down, put a check mark next to it. If you hear anything new, add it to your list.
At the end of those three days, use those idioms to create a short story to put into your journal. Your goal will be to get as many idioms as possible into the story as you possibly can, and still have it make some sort of sense. The story itself should not be longer than 2 pages.

"It's raining cats and dogs"

"The rain is as cold as ice"

"It's so cold, we might be in Antarctica"

"Winter is as freezing as a polar bear's home"

"The sun won't shine until it is a million years later"

These are just some idioms. These include similes and metaphors.

Here's a short story.

Kaleb walked outside. "Oh, Mom, it's raining cats and dogs- how am I going to use my kite?" He shut the door, not letting the rain come in. "Not only that- the rain is as cold as ice. It's 22 degrees!" Kaleb's mom said. "Oh no, this wasn't the right time to buy a kite. Winter is as freezing as a polar bear's home, I hate this so much!" Kaleb said. "Oh, Kaleb, don't be so sad," said Kaleb's dad. "We can find a day, maybe tomorrow. It's windy tomorrow." "Oh, be quiet! It's raining all week! It will also be cold! It's so cold, we might be in Antarctica!" Kaleb's aunt (his dad's side) said. "Oh, man," Kaleb's dad said. Kaleb sighed, and put his kite away. "The sun won't shine until it is a million years later," he said.

Which best states the purpose of this excerpt? it introduces the disagreement of the parents. it explains who the main character
RUDIKE [14]

The option that best states the purpose of the excerpt from "Romeo and Juliet" is "It foreshadows the outcome of the play," as stated in option D.

<h3>What is foreshadowing?</h3>

We call foreshadowing the technique of revealing information at some point that connects to an event taking place later in the story. Imagine you are watching a movie and you notice a knife lying on the top of a table. That same knife is then later used to kill a thief that breaks into the house. Showing the knife beforehand is foreshadowing.

The excerpt from "Romeo and Juliet" we are analyzing here does precisely that: It foreshadows the outcome of the play. According to the excerpt, Juliet and Romeo will die because of the feud between their families.

With the information above in mind, we can choose option D as the correct answer.

The complete question is as follows:

Read this excerpt from the prologue of "Romeo and Juliet."

The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,

And the continuance of their parents' rage,

Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,

Is now the two hours' traffick of our stage;

Which best states the purpose of this excerpt?

  • It introduces the disagreement of the parents.
  • It explains who the main characters are.
  • It speaks about the setting of the play.
  • It foreshadows the outcome of the play.
