the biggest structural component in this story is foreshadowing!!!

There are several structural characteristics of "The Open Window" that help create a feeling of surprise. One of them is how the author manipulates time. In order to do so, he uses flashbacks extensively. The best example is when Mr. Nuttel thinks of the words his sister said to him when he was about to go to the countryside. Through this flashback, we also learn that Mr. Nuttel has problems with his nerves.

The author also surprises us by not placing all the characters together at the same time. The fact that the aunt is upstairs and her husband is out allow for the surprise at the end to materialize.

Finally, the author builds the story with the expectation of a surprise, created through foreshadowing. However, he does not reveal what the surprise is until the very end, when it becomes inevitable.

Which two elements of ShacWhich two elements of Shackleton's South! are common traits of a memoir?
gladu [14]
One of the main characteristics of a memoir is first-person narration, because a memoir is usually written by a person who has actually experienced all of those memories. A memoir is a French word meaning memory, so this is a text based on someone's memories. Also, a memoir is a blend of actual facts, things that the author has experienced throughout his or her life, and imagination used to create a mixture between a fictional and non-fictional work of art.

How are the possibilities of ""designer babies"" similar to handicaps in ""Harrison Bergeron""?
Helen [10]

Answer:

Both possibilities are similar because, they take away the rights of the victims or subjects, without seeking their consent.

Explanation:

'Designer babies' is a new invention in science and reproduction where the genes of unborn babies are edited or altered with the purpose of adding a gene, or removing a gene relating to a disease. This practice has raised a number of ethical concerns, one of which is the fact that future generations could be affected by this alteration.

In the book, 'Harrison Bergeron', by Kurt Vonnegut, handicaps were limitations placed on people with exceptional attributes. These handicaps could be in the form of mutilation and other traumatizing treatments. This was aimed at creating a country with equality. This practice took away the fundamental rights and freedom of the citizens, making them to live in fear and hide their abilities.

These two scenarios are similar in the sense that they seriously impede on the rights of the people experiencing them, leaving them with no say on the matter.
