English
1 answer:
kozerog [31]4 years ago
4 0

Deep in the Antartic wastelands, within one of the numerous penguin colonies there was a penguin who was different. He did not look like the other penguins; he did not think like other penguins. He was an anomaly. For a start, he wore horned-rimmed glasses that he found lying on the wreckage of an ancient whaling ship that floundered and was stuck in the ice close to where he lived. All the other penguins mocked him for wearing glasses. What they did not know, was that he loved reading the books found on the whaling ship.

Which sentences in this excerpt from Theodore Dreiser's "My Brother Paul" are examples of characterization that suggest Paul is
DIA [1.3K]

He found, as he often told my sister, broken horse-shoes (a "bad sign"), met cross-eyed women, another "bad sign," was pursued apparently by the inimical number thirteen—and all these little straws depressed him horribly.

AND

One day on coming back home he found one of his hats lying on his bed, accidentally put there by one of the children, and according to my sister, who was present at the time, he was all but petrified by the sight of it. To him it was the death-sign.

These sentences characterize Paul as a superstitious person. A superstitious person is one who believes in things that are irrational. Some common superstitions are: a broken mirror equals 7 years of bad luck, or a black cat crossing one's path signals bad things are coming. In these sentences Paul believes things like broken-horse shoes, cross-eyed women, the number thirteen, and his hat lying on his bed all signal bad things are going to happen.

Need help with a essay called a your myth essay it basically a essay we’re you make a myth on how something in this world came t
olga2289 [7]
1. Choose the tone of the myth.
Is it a cautionary tale on responsibility?
A story of communication with higher powers?
Actions of empathy for the greater good?
A lighthearted, ironic tale of adventure and consequence?

2. Choose the intention of the myth.
Is this the story of a character who is responsible for the creation of something (such as a god, a human, an animal, a personified planet, etc. who has taken action)
OR
Is this the story of the accidental/inadvertent existence of something that created something in the world today?

3. Choose a subject or concept that is interesting to you.
(Ex: the creation of stars, the formation of mountains, the existence of empathy, the origin of sunsets, the flow of the wind)

4. Create strong characters and/or a strong setting that places the reader in the mindset of the myth.

Are you trying to emulate traditional myths: Use impersonal language in the 3rd person to write a cautionary tale about a flaw in human nature that led to the formation of something in the natural world (humans loved to imagine they had an impact on the creation of earth)

Are trying to write a modern take on the myth: Choose a more informative and less critical tone to explain the occurrence of a facet of the world TODAY (something specific to the century) and how it came to be
