Then the animals assailed the donkey for spoiling what could possibly have been a pleasure to them, on a mere suspicion that the

picture was not beautiful, without any evidence that such was the case. The donkey was not troubled; he was calm, and said there was one way to find out who was in the right, himself or the cat: he would go and look in that hole, and come back and tell what he found there. The animals felt relieved and grateful, and asked him to go at once—which he did.
What is the effect of Twain's use of "telling language" and indirect dialogue, rather than "showing language" and direct dialogue, in this part of the fable?

A.This technique allows Twain to create an image in readers' minds so that readers can fill out the scene with their own imaginations.

B.This technique allows Twain to compress the conversation into fewer words and move on to a more interesting part of the story.

C.This technique allows Twain to make his own comments on the scene, through the words of the narrator.

D.This technique allows Twain to add humor to the scene by concentrating on the animals' actions rather than their words.

The correct answer is B.

Using indirect dialogue allows Twain to compress and shorten the conversation. By using fewer words (instead of including the exact dialogue), Twain can keep the scene short and move on to a more interesting part of the story.

If the dialogue were written out exactly as it was spoken, it would take a lot longer to read, since many animals are speaking to the donkey in this scene.

What do you guys consider literature ? and why ?
Monica [59]

Answer:

Literature broadly is any collection of written work, but it is also used more narrowly for writings specifically considered to be an art form, especially prose fiction, drama, and poetry. In recent centuries, the definition has expanded to include oral literature, much of which has been transcribed.

Answer:

I agree. I agree because everybody will have the confidence at one point in there life to do something. If someone had no courage they would never be able to accomplish anything. Even people who are super shy and seem like they have no friends, they have the courage to still go to school everyday and go through that stressful school environment. Every person possess courage even if they don't think they have it.
