Answer:

Gerunds, Infinitives, and Participles are all types of verbs. A gerund is a verb that ends with -ing (such as dancing, flying, etc.), that functions as a noun. An infinitive is a verb that is preceded by the word “to” (such as to run, to fly, to play, etc.). A participle also ends in -ing like a gerund, but it does not function as a noun. Instead, they form the progressive tense of a verb. They can sometimes function as an adjective, but not always.

Answer:

Aside from Simone, Ma Tante as well as the other elderly people in the doctor's office and elderly people in general are treated unfairly in the story.

Explanation:

Debbie Rigaud's short story "Voilà!" revolves primarily around Simone and her great-aunt's relationship. But the story also delves into the issue of how the elderly are treated differently by the younger generations as well as how poorer people are treated. The author wants to portray that discrimination and bring it to the attention of the readers.

In the story, the great aunt "Ma Tante" is unfairly treated, as are the other elderly people in the run-down "ghetto doctor's office". Another elderly that's treated unfairly is "Mr. Charles Pemberton" who Waverly insists on taking him on a wheelchair even though he can walk properly.

Aside from the elderly, the protagonist of the story Simone Thibodeaux also feels embarrassed for her background, for being different from her classmates. She admits "My embarrassment at being seen in the ghetto doctor’s office outweighs my guilt." Moreover, she is a Haitian, thereby resulting in different treatment from others, including the twin-nurse sisters and Waverly, who also made the suggestion that Simone helps the "CARE-A-VAN" volunteers by translating for them.

Aloiza [94]

When you analyze a piece of fiction you pick out specific pieces that have meaning or you can find the meaning to. Analyzing will consist of highlighting and marking in the margin. When you analyze you should also write down words you do not understand so you can look them up later. You should keep note of the character and places the author creates, especially if it is made up. When you do this it is easier to track the story line. Analyzing is overall very important to keep you mind in the right place while reading a fictional story.
