1 David couldn’t wait to get off from work, for he had an exciting weekend planned. He and his seven year-old son, Landon, were

going on a camping trip. As David drove toward the Greenville suburb where Landon lived with his mother, the guilt gnawed at him. He hated that since the divorce nearly a year ago, he had not spent the quality time with Landon that he now wished he had. The two hour drive to Landon’s new home only complicated the wish for more frequent visits. David decided he was not going to dwell on the past, but instead look to the future. This weekend camping trip was just what they needed. 2 When David arrived Landon met him at the door grinning like someone who’d just won the lottery. An hour later, they were setting up camp. Before long, they headed to the creek bank with fishing poles in hand. As they each sat on a five gallon bucket, few words were spoken, but David knew that old wounds were healing. As Landon reeled in a tiny brim he looked over at his dad and said, "You know what, Dad, this is the most fun I’ve ever had." Even though his throat was tightening in an effort to hold back tears, David managed to say, "Me too, Son, me too." When Landon says, "You know what, Dad, this is the most fun I’ve ever had," the author is using the narrative technique of
A) description.
B) dialogue.
C) pacing.
D) setting.

Answer: The right answer is the B) Dialogue.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that although pacing and description are also narrative techniques, that excerpt is specifically an example of dialogue, since the author is indicating what one of the characters said to another in the course of a conversation by quoting his exact words. The word dialogue derives from the Greek <em>dialogos</em>, which can be translated as "conversation."

stepan [7]
<span>Termed as the ‘Age of Revolution” in reaction to the ‘Age of Enlightenment’. One of the Romantic period’s characteristics was the expression of strong senses, emotions, and feelings in literary, art and music. Romantics rejected the idea of deduction – the process of gaining knowledge by using logic or reason; rather, they believe that it is gained through intuition, the ‘gut feeling’ – knowing something through natural feeling as guidance without evidence. In turn, this period emphasizes more on exaggerated emotions of awe, apprehension, horror and terror which intensifies the subjective perspective of one’s experiences.</span>
