What are some similarities and differences in "To Build A Fire" and "Stickeen"? Need two or more examples of each.

1 answer:

3 0

1. Compare and contrast are words that are often used to talk about the similarities and differences between two things or objects.

2. Apart from the difference in their meaning, one struggles to find any differences between the two.

3. According to various dictionaries, compare means ‘to represent things or objects in respect of similarity’ and contrast means ‘to represent things in respect of differences.’

4. If a person is looking at the similarities between two objects or things, then he may be comparing the two. On the other hand, if a person is looking at the dissimilarity between two things or objects, then he may be contrasting the two.

5. Where compare emphasises the similar qualities, contrast emphasises the differences.

6. The word compare has been derived from the Latin word ‘comparare’, which means ‘to liken or to compare.’ The word contrast has been derived from the Latin word ‘contra’ and ‘stare’, which means ‘against’ and ‘to stand.’

Answer:

Speaking is harder in many ways than writing because it is performance. ... Writing is harder in some ways than speaking. Writing must be self contained: there is no body language or vocal emphasis as everything must be in the words themselves. But the ability to revise and edit dozens of times narrows the gap.

Answer:

by combining sentences 4 and 5 with the transition word so

The question asks for a revision that would connect the ideas together. Any option that suggests splitting a sentence would actually do the opposite. Splitting the sentences would be the writing seem even more disjointed. Combining sentences is the best choice for connecting ideas together in this paragraph. The best sentences to combine are sentences 4 and 5.

Which line from Daly's "Sixteen" best conveys the narrator's feeling of longing?

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

"I can't think of anything, anything but snowflakes and ice skates and yellow moon and Thursday night."

Explanation:

This question is not full as it is missing the option for the answer.

The options are:

"He was whistling softly and I waited until the sound faded away so I couldn't tell if it was he or my heart whistling out there in night."
"The air was tense with sudden cold and a gust of wind swirled his footprints into the white oblivion."
"Tonight is Tuesday and my homework's done, and I darned some stocking that didn't really need it."
"I can't think of anything, anything but snowflakes and ice skates and yellow moon and Thursday night."

The correct answer is 4. "I can't think of anything, anything but snowflakes and ice skates and yellow moon and Thursday night."

In this line, the narrator of Daly's novel talks about details she remembers dearly from the night she meets the man she is longing for. She remembers it was Thursday, she remembers the snow and the skating and saying she can't think of anything else but these details. With this description of the exact details of the night, the narrator shows how much she remembers, how important the night was to her, and how much she wishes to return to it.

The first two options, 1 and 2, are describing the events from the night, and the 3 is just what is happening in the present tense. But in the sentence under option 4 we can see the full strength of her longing and strong emotions.
