Which opening sentence most strongly engages the reader and provides context?

1 answer:

8 0

Of the opening sentences that were presented here that strongly engages the reader and provides context to them would be the second one which is "We could have had a worse weekend, but it's awfully hard to beat Bigfoot and bugs."

The first and third one were just not good enough because it exposes the rest of the context to the reader and lets them have the idea of what you are talking about which usually leads to the readers not choosing to continue to read, thus taking out the reader's engagement but still provides context. The last one is better than the first and third, but it spilled the beans when it mentioned the particulars as to what made the weekend bad to worse. The answer is just right. It has the impact that would hook the reader to know more about your weekend and why is Bigfoot and bugs together in your statement. The rain wasn't mentioned which would be ideal to make the story telling take a turn to much worse which would spike up the interest of the reader.

give an example detail or quote from the play "a sad vaudeville" that demonstrates the theme of conformity vs freedom please :((

kiruha [24]

Answer: https://www.connectionsacademy.com/content/media/336756-142011-60623-PM-572143982.pdf

"One of the themes of this play is the conflict

between conformity and freedom. Cite speeches or

stage directions that illustrate this theme. Answers

will vary. Stage directions that have the trains going

mechanically in the same direction (top of page 54, for

example) reinforce the conformity side, since when one

of the men forming the train jumps off, it disappears.

At the bottom of page 54, Flagman and Man disagree

on whether all women look alike or not, with Flagman

stressing conformity. Both the young man and the old

woman find their efforts to make a deep connection

with another person thwarted by conventional attitudes

about age. However, the woman seems to have achieved

some inner freedom, saying, “Now I’m the woman I

always wanted to be.” "

Which personality trait does Dickon have the would make him at home at Buckingham palace or at the bottom of a coal mine?

Anarel [89]

The personality trait that would make Dickon feel at home at Buckingham Palace or at the bottom of a coal mine is that he is very likable.

It is mention trough the book that he has a strange ability to captivate everyone human or not since his ability also applies to animals, everywhere Dickon goes everyone just fell under his spell and find him lovable. We can see the quotation that says :

There really was a sort of Magic about Dickon, as Mary always privately believed. When Mr. Roach heard his name he smiled quite leniently.

“He’d be at home in Buckingham Palace or at the bottom of a coal mine,” he said. “And yet it’s not impudence, either. He’s just fine, is that lad.”
