In sentences a semicolon is used to combine two individual sentences; a semicolon is used in the place of a period. I believe this is right but I taught this to myself.

Describe 3-4 experiences that Stephen King shared about his life and explain how those experiences may have influenced him in te

andrezito [222]

Answer and Explanation:

We cannot mention the experiences that King had during his life, without mentioning the moment when he witnessed his friend being hit and killed by a train, when he was a child. Although King claims that it did not influence him at all, we cannot fail to affirm that this is the moment of horror that he lived and that is directly related to his work, but that he can have an influence, even if it is only in the subconscious of King, being exposed when he allows his characters to experience shocking and traumatic moments.

Another experience that King had was the economic difficulty in supporting a family. King married and had children in his youth and had many difficulties in being able to support his family economically. He and his family went through many hardships in relation to money and because of that, King had to deal with the uncertainty and fear of what the future would hold for them. This may have influenced King's work to present very human characters, that in addition to facing supernatural problems, they must deal with real problems of adult life. This allows many readers to identify with the characters.

One last experience to be mentioned is the problem that King faced with alcoholism and drug addiction. This may have been King's most difficult experience, as it made him lose track of reality, a good relationship with his children and wife and the dominance of his life. King's characters constantly deal with these factors, which shows that much of what he writes reflects King's own problems, which makes the work even more palatable, as he manages to write about something he really knows.

How does the author use dramatic irony to create humor in king of the jungle

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

The author provokes naivety in the characters, making them not know the obvious things that the public already knows, creating humor from naivete.

Explanation:

The dramatic irony is identified in a text when the author uses symbols to pass messages to the public without revealing anything to the characters. This creates unpredictability for the character and an advantage for the audience that is following the story. In this case, the author can create humor (where the audience laughs at the character's naivete and therefore his inability to act correctly) or suspense (letting the reader know the element of drama that the character is not aware of).

The surrounding sentences hints at the use of the word in the particular context. The nearby words can also be helpful in the same sense. A neighbouring phrase or a clause can also help in deciphering the meaning and using in context of the sentence. all these locations contributes to understand the meaning of the unknown or the unacknowledged word appropriately.
