Question

In “Spanish Dancer,” Rilke’s use of _____ gives readers a sense of immediacy. Select all that apply.

Answer 1

Answer:

present-tense narration

Explanation:

In present-tense narration, there is a sense of urgency used because it is used to tell a story that is happening in-the--moment thereby giving the reader a sense of immediacy.

In "Spanish Dancer" by Rainer Maria RIlke, this style of narration is employed thus:

"And all at once it is completely fire.

One upward glance and she ignites her hair

and, whirling faster and faster, fans her dress

into passionate flames, till it becomes a furnace

from which, like startled rattlesnakes, the long

naked arms uncoil, aroused and clicking."
