Answer:

Zora's lemon tree produces too much fruit. She gives them away, therefore, to her friends and neighbors.

Explanation:

Out of the three sentences given in the question, the correct sentence with correct punctuation will be the second option.

The second sentence's use of the punctuation marks, the separation all makes it correct. The use of a comma before and after 'therefore' is correct, for it is the joining word or the bridging word for the sentences.

Zora's lemon tree produces too much fruit. She gives them away, therefore, to her friends and neighbors.

While in the other two sentences, we see the continuous flow of the sentence without any use of the full stop.

Sentences1 and 3 are wrong as -

Zora's lemon tree produces too much fruit. She gives them them away therefore, to her friends and neighbors.

Zora's lemon tree produces too much fruit. She gives them away, therefore to her friends and neighbors.

Explain Faulkner’s idea behind mankind prevailing even in the darkest of times. Use textual evidence to support your answer.

sasho [114]

This question is about Faulkner's speech when he won the Nobel Prize for Literature.

Answer and Explanation:

Faulkner says that humanity will prevail in the dark times because the human voice is inexhaustible, which makes it immortal. This immortality and invincibility of the human being is directly related to writing because when writers and poets record their thoughts and the problems that humanity faces, they allow readers to prepare and be strong for the adversities of life. These readers also feel the urge to write about the same things, making this process repeat itself infinitely, giving strength to humanity to prosper.

A part of the speech that reinforces this thinking is:

"I refuse to accept this. I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. The poet’s, the writer’s, duty is to write about these things. It is his privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past. The poet’s voice need not merely be the record of man, it can be one of the props, the pillars to help him endure and prevail. "

Briefly describe Poe’s requirements for the short story genre.

Stella [2.4K]

He stated that 6 requirements should be met:

1. Be able to be read in one sitting. Poe defined this as being from one-half hour to one or two hours.

2. Strive for unity of effect. Poe believed the aim of the short story was to create a mood, an ambience, or as he called it, an “effect.”

3. Begin with the first sentence. Poe insisted that the effect should be created from the very first line.

4. Have nothing in it that detracts from the design. The story should lead directly and inevitably to the conclusion without excess or digressive material.

5. Aim for truth. He believed that the story should remain true to the way people really act in a given situation, true to the human heart.

6. Stress imagination, invention, creation and originality.
