1 In 1941, fourteen year-old Adam Pelko arrived on the peaceful serene islands of Hawaii. Ironically, this will be the least pea

ceful base assignment his on-the-move Navy family will ever know. 2 Author Harry Mazer masterfully foreshadows the impending bombing of Pearl Harbor with conflicts in the sub-plot of the novel. Adam’s father, an officer assigned to the USS Arizona, insists that Adam end his association with his new friend Davi because his parents are Japanese. Lt. Pelko felt that with the anti-Japanese sentiment on the island, Adam’s friendship with Davi would reflect badly on his family, and, as a result, the United States Navy. The thought of ending the first real friendship he has had for a very long time saddens and angers Adam, who knows that his entire family lives by the unspoken rules of the Navy. This underlying conflict of racism, distrust, and anxiety sets a mood of uneasiness as Adam secretly goes fishing with Davi at Pearl Harbor on that infamous December morning. 3 Numerous documentaries, memoirs, and photographs have been published attempting to illustrate the unexpectedness and viciousness of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor as seen through the eyes of the adults who witnessed it. Mazer uses Adam’s innocence and naivety to examine the attack as seen by an adolescent boy. Knowing that Adam’s father is on the Arizona builds suspense as the reader waits anxiously to find out the fate of Lt. Pelko. Read the passage on the left to answer the following questions: 31) What impression does the reviewer want the reader to have of author, Harry Mazer? A) that he is an excellent, skilled writer B) a neutral impression C) that Mazer is a novice and will improve with time D) that historical fiction is not his genre

Answer:

I would go with letter A) that he is an excellent, skilled writer.

Explanation:

Reviewers convey their own impression of things and people. Their opinion is biased, and they often try to convince readers of what they think. The reviewer who wrote the excerpt we are analyzing here does it subtly, it could easily go unnoticed hadn't it been for the adverb "masterfully". From this point on - "Author Harry Mazer masterfully foreshadows the impending bombing of Pearl Harbor with conflicts in the sub-plot of the novel" - there has been the inception of an opinion in readers' minds: Harry Mazer must be really good! He was able to masterfully (skillfully, cleverly) use foreshadowing in his story. Even if the reviewer does not feel the need to keep on complimenting Mazer openly and constantly, this sentence was enough to convey his impression of him. Had he wanted readers to have only a neutral impression of Mazer, he should not have employed such word.

How can letters be part of Literary Criticism?
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

By reading and discussing literature, we expand our imagination, our sense of what is possible, and our ability to empathize with others. Improve your ability to read critically and interpret texts while gaining appreciation for different literary genres and theories of interpretation. Read samples of literary interpretation. Write a critique of a literary work.

Texts that interpret literary works are usually persuasive texts. Literary critics may conduct a close reading of a literary work, critique a literary work from the stance of a particular literary theory, or debate the soundness of other critics’ interpretations. The work of literary critics is similar to the work of authors writing evaluative texts. For example, the skills required to critique films, interpret laws, or evaluate artistic trends are similar to those skills required by literary critics.
