One of the moral truths that is highlighted in the story "The Prisoner Who Wore Glasses" is how people are able to achieve so much more when they work as a group, as opposed to acting individually.

In this story, we learn about a group of prisoners in a South African jail. They are political activists, and enjoy a good degree of freedom. However, this is threatened with the arrival of a new, strict warden. The group, however, is able to fight against this new authority due to the fact that they always operate as a tight group, and that there is rarely any conflict among themselves.

This truth is particularly meaningful in this context, as the prisoners are being punished for their social and political ideas and activism. The prisoners have a deep care and concern for society and they want relations among people to become fairer and more peaceful. However, they also act in accordance to this principle, as they attempt to create peaceful and cooperative relationships both among themselves as well as with the authorities. This is examplified by how the group always replies in unison, or by the fact that the warden joins the prisoners in working at the farm.

definitely punishment but you should have equality in mind when doing the punishing. which then brings me to fairness because it wouldn't be fair if a man and woman committed the same crime but the woman got less time in jail. and then restoration i guess lol.

How does the author foreshadow, hint at, the changes that will occur in jaun's personality and his life ? Provide examples of fo

klemol [59]

Answer:

One foreshadowing act is when he reported the fellow worker who tried to organize a strike, leading to Juan's promotion. Again, he also states that "You don't form a habit by doing something once", which he proved wrong. These two examples are part of the factors that lead up to his 'power greed' and eventually led to his execution from his self-censored letter.

Explanation:

Foreshadowing is a literary technique that writers employ to provide hints about what will happen in future scenes. This allows the readers to have a sense of suspense, foreboding, and expectant about what is to happen to the character(s).

In the short story "The Censors" by Luisa Valenzuela, the authoritative regime of the government in censoring the letters of the people through a "Censor's Secret Command" shows the level of freedom the people are subjected to. And Juan, the protagonist of the story, also gets involved in the 'power play' where he, at first wants to join the Command only to ensure the safety of his letter to Mariana who has escaped to Paris. But once affiliated with the job, he gets dragged into the world of the 'power' the post/ job provides. And eventually, he brought his own death when he censors his letter so much that it was seized by the government and the writer/sender executed.

Some examples of foreshadowing are when he states "You don't form a habit by doing something once" which he proved wrong. Moreover, his act of turning in his colleague, who "tried to organize a strike to demand higher wages for unhealthy work" is another foreshadowing. This is because by turning in the guy, he got promoted which led him to get into higher posts where he eventually brought about his own downfall and is executed.

Answer: The character’s personality and distinguishable traits.

Explanation: Characterization means that an author is describing the traits and personality of a specific character, so if that is what they are “focusing on,” then it means that the author is attempting to provide further details about the character that they are describing.
