Read the following excerpt from “the gift of the magi” and answer the question

English
1 answer:
Alborosie4 years ago

Answer:

Third-person limited.

Explanation:

Third-person limited point of view or narration is when the narrator of a story is someone who is not a character of the story but knows the feelings and emotions of only one of the characters. He reveals the feelings of that character, focusing only on that character but has no access to the other characters' feelings.

In the given excerpt from <em>The Gift of the Magi</em> by O Henry, the narrative voice is third person limited. This is evident for the narrator reveals the thoughts and feelings of Della even in the utmost detail but did not or cannot do the same for Jim. His voice in describing even the deepest feelings of Della but not that of Jim shows the limited access of his voice. It is the<u> third person because he is not a character in the story</u>, and <u>limited because he knows only the thoughts and feelings of Della. </u>

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.

Read the excerpt from “Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry.”
Kruka [31]

Answer: C. an appeal to logic

<em>Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry</em> is a book by Rudolfo Anaya.

In this excerpt, the author cites an example of the censorship that his book has had to endure. He gives an account of how a high school class took the books outside and saw that they were burned. This is an appeal to logic as it uses concrete evidence to sustain the argument. Based on this event, we can logically conclude that Anaya's book has been the object of censorship.
