The statement basically states “Books should show us the real world and not a fantasy where we are thought to believe things. It must guide us in our time on Earth.” You are supposed to provide your opinion on what you think.

I would write something like this:

Literature has been around for centuries, maybe even millenniums. It has brought people out of the depths of despair and helped them over come problems in day-to- day life. There are all kinds of books out there - fantasy, adventure, romance, but should all those books be forgotten and thrown out for man only to read non-fictional books that are factual rather than interesting?

On one hand, books should be used as a tool for living. They should be informative and contain facts that could benefit us through out our lifetime. An interesting quote is, ‘Knowledge is the key to life’ therefore reading non-fiction books will help us in the future and reflect our actions when we grow up.

On the other hand, books have been brought to life to transport a person away from his troubles into a fictional world, where they are happy and blissful. Taking away such books and reading only factual information will not benefit a humans mind, for they will grow old and grumpy; they will obtain a lot of information but they will be dissatisfied with life - so what is the point of that? Moreover, books are books. No matter the genre or the origination of the book, it will teach us grammar and vocabulary which is vital for a human to know; it will make us emotionally happy and we will still gain knowledge from it.

In my opinion, Forster is wrong because a work of literature MUST provide a scope for the imagination and it must alter reality a little but for us to imagine - for without imagination, we are nothing.


I hope this helps, and please tell me what grade you got as I would love to know:))

Write down all of the critical questions you hope to answer ahead of time. Then, record your conclusions—along with the supporti
nadezda [96]

Some critical questions that a person can ask when making a character analysis are:

  • Is this role suitable for the character?
  • Would this role help advance the plot?
  • How would the audience view this character and his roles?

These critical questions would help in the analysis of a character as this would show if the roles are suitable, how effective they were and how they were received by the audience.

Also, this is vital and essential to analyse a theme and find out better ways to develop the theme based on the characterization and other important factors.

<h3>What is Character Development?</h3>

This refers to the various changes that a character undergoes as his role becomes more dynamic in the advancement of a plot.

Hence, we can see that although your question is unclear as it misses critical information, a general overview was given above to give you a better understanding of the concept.

Help me when this paragraph for Brainliest anwser!!
choli [55]
Since I was born in Romat Gan, Israel, I suppose that I can say the first major place I visited was the United States. Must have been a quite a sight, the moment I exited that plane, considering that I soiled myself; but then again, I was only a year old at the time. Since then, I've added the Grand Canyon to the roster of locations that I've stepped foot on. Of course, I only walked alongside the canyon, as my milky white skin could not handle the three day long trek it would take to journey across the national park. Six Flags Great Adventure was certainly more my speed, though I held an intrepid fear of roller coasters till I was 14 years old and peer pressure got the best of me as it did when I was 18 years old when I truly enjoyed the New Jersey shore for the first time among good friends while the underclassmen were stuck at school after Prom weekend.


(Haha sorry I forgot the directions said to describe one place with four proper nouns. I accidentally wrote about four proper noun locations. Though I think it still qualifies. Hope this helped.)
