Answer:

B

Explanation:

The narrator talks about how the fire wasting a man that was tied to a stake. Assuming that the fire is symbolic for fate, it makes sense for this passage to describe parraylissis. Especially when looking in the context of the last sentence, describing the man as a "unalterable mold" "made of solid bronze" someone who is unaltered is unable to move, and solid bronze is unmovable by human hands after a certain amount is gathered. I was debating between A and D though, so I'll tell you why I didn't pick D. d refers to nature and mans lack of ability to change it, however where nature is involved in the passage (fire) the man doesn't try to shape or change it, it changes the man.

PLZZZZ HELP!!! I NEED AN ESSAY FOR " A Sound of Thunder" and/or Nethergrave Thanks!
Katyanochek1 [597]

The question above is intended to analyze your writing and reading skills. For this reason, it is not right for me to write an essay for you, but I will show you how to write it.

First, you should read "A Sound of Thunder" and "Nethergrave," understanding the two texts and deciding which one is best, in your opinion, and what reasons make you come to that opinion.

After this reading, you can write your essay as follows:

  • Introduction: Present the background information for the story you will present in the essay and then show your thesis statement. The thesis statement is your take on this story, where you will show that it is better than the other.

  • Body: Write two paragraphs. In these paragraphs, you will show the reasons that make you believe that the story you chose is better than the other story. You will have to show information from both texts to verify your arguments.

  • Conclusion: End the essay by showing your final thoughts about the story, summarize your arguments, and reinforce your thesis statement.
