Answer 1

Answer:

Quote

“IT MATTERS NOT WHAT SOMEONE IS BORN BUT WHAT THEY GROW TO BE”- J.K ROWLING, Harry potter and the goblet of fire.

This indicates that someone can be born poor and destitue but grow up to dominate and rule the world and vice versa. Someone can be born ill but grow up to be an athlete champion and vice versa.

Just because you are born with an advantage doesn’t mean life would be smooth sailing without struggles and vice versa.

Examples

Jay Gatsby in The great gatsby by F. scott Fitzgerald’s.

Answer 2

Answer:

"That's what literature is. It’s the people who went before us, tapping out messages from the past, from beyond the grave, trying to tell us about life and death! Listen to them!"(–Passage, Connie Willis). In the passage, Willis informs the reader that literature was made long before our time. It also shows that literature is something used to show our history and give us a reminder to not let it happen again. This urges people to take charge and do something about it with the use of punctuation.

        In this passage the writer wants to tell use about his contemporary story. A good example is the book Night  by: Ellie Wiesel. He talks about how he suffered from the holocaust. This book relates to the idea that literature can tell us about the past. Never shall I forget the nocturnal silence that deprived me for all eternity of the desire to live. Never shall I forget those moments that murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to ashes. Never shall I forget those things, even were I condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never.”(Ellie Wiesel) this shows how the history he tells destroyed his future of faith and belief.

           In conclusion, literature is a tool used to convey the past and keep the human race from forgetting  mistakes from the past, and making the mistakes again in the future.The passage tells us the use of literature in a shorter way.
