Read the paragraph from Nick’s personal narrative. Standing alone in my family’s barn, I thought about how much hard work and ti

me my parents had invested—how much hard work and time we had all invested—in maintaining a fully operational farm. I did not remember a time when my clothes had not reeked of manure or my hair had not held fast to brittle pieces of straw. What would happen if my parents had to sell the farm so we could move closer to my grandparents? Just as I was attempting to imagine a life in the city, a sudden commotion erupted and interrupted my thoughts. With animals squawking and dust flying, I scrambled to pinpoint the source of this unexpected intrusion. In seconds that felt more like minutes, I was successful . . . and I could scarcely believe what my eyes were seeing. Nick uses chronological order to relate his narrative. What effect does this have on his arrangement of the plot?

<em />It builds the tension up. He tells us some background knowledge - about all his hard work - so that the reader can connect to the character in this passage. 

Hope that helps!

The correct answer is the following.

When Nick uses chronological order to relate his narrative the effect he has on his narrative is that <em>he involves the reader in the sequence of the actions and this creates interest and somewhat a little bit of tension on the reader side. The reader could be asking itself what he/she would do in a scenario like that. </em>

When Nick reminds all the personal situations he has lived in the farm, makes the reader feel some kind of nostalgy and thinking on what could be Nick’s future in his parents decide to move closer to the grandparents home. An excerpt of the text put it this way: “<em>Just as I was attempting to imagine a life in the city, a sudden emotion erupted and interrupted my thoughts”. I</em>t makes the reader follow this dynamic and imagining on the unknown future for Nick.

Write a letter to the minister of religious and chieftain telling him or her the causes of indiscipline among the youth and poss
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

Claudius directs Gertrude to try to learn the cause of Hamlet’s odd behavior; they suspect it is the old king’s

death and their own recent marriage. Meantime, Claudius and Polonius eavesdrop on Ophelia and Hamlet,

who spurns her and appears mad. The King reveals to Polonius his plan to send Hamlet to England with

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.

Hamlet seizes the opportunity presented by a traveling troupe of players to expose the King’s guilt with a

“play within a play.” Soon after, Hamlet delays killing Claudius because the King is at prayer, and Hamlet

does not wish to send him to heaven instead of hell. When Gertrude meets with Hamlet as Claudius has

directed, Polonius hides behind the arras in Gertrude’s room to eavesdrop on the conversation. Hamlet,

suspecting the interloper is Claudius, stabs and kills Polonius.
