In the novel “<em>Nectar in a Sieve</em>” by Kamala Markandaya (1954), one of the main themes is the contrast between the tradition (Part 1) and the modern (Part 2), or the rural life and the city life. While <u>Part 1</u> takes place in an unnamed village in rural India, <u>Part 2</u> takes place in an unnamed major city in urban India. The author used imagery throughout the novel in order to call the reader’s attention. This technique is used <u>to represent objects, actions, and ideas in a way that it appeals to the reader’s physical senses</u>. For example, Markandaya used onomatopoeia together with imagery in the following passage “<em>… a click-clank of stone on stone with intermittent dull explosions</em>”. Water is also an example of imagery in the novel, since the patterns of the rain portray Rukmani’s view of the world and the balance of certainty and uncertainty, the good times and the bad ones. Moreover, water was also an important element in <u>Nathan’s death</u> and <u>for the women</u>.
Answer:
This is an example of compression because:
C. It uses fragments instead of complete sentences.
Explanation:
Let's analyze "For Sale: Baby Shoes, Never Worn." What we have here are not complete sentences, but fragments. That means words are missing, such as verbs, subjects, etc. Let's imagine what the whole passage would be like if we added everything that is missing:
- Items that are for sale: baby shoes that were never worn.
It is too much. There is no need to use all that to advertise an item. Thus, we can compress the sentences by fragmenting them and using only the most important parts. What we need to know is that something is for sale. It is baby shoes. They were never worn. Thus: For Sale: "Baby Shoes, Never Worn." That is all we need.
That is common when we need to convey a message quickly and directly. Notice that the signs placed in front of houses that are for sale never say "this house is for sale." We can infer that it is the house they are talking about.
