What makes South!, a memoir by Ernest Shackleton, fall under the nonfiction genre?

English
1 answer:
Yuki888 [10]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The answer is letter B) The story is based on the narrator's real-life experiences.

Explanation:

A nonfiction literary work contains true or factual information, information that has not been "made up". It is supposed to be truthful and accurate. Fiction, on the other hand, even though related to reality to some extent, offers imaginary (made up) information.

A memoir and an autobiography are examples of nonfiction literary work. The difference between them is that an autobiography focuses on telling facts about the author's life in a chronological sequence, from the moment of birth until the present. A memoir does not necessarily present the author's whole life, since birth. It may focus on a specific period. It also has a more artistic perspective, focusing rather on the author's feelings and interpretation of his/her own experiences. The memoir "South!" is a nonfiction literary work since it narrates Shackleton's real-life expedition to Antarctica that lasted from 1914 till 1917.

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

When Ellery says, "’I see we'll have to do it the hard way,’" it creates tension because it reveals how hard Ellery will have to work to try to solve the crime.

Explanation:

<em>Object Lessons</em> by Ellery Queen is a short story about a detective work that the author did for a school teacher when she lost <em>"seven one-dollar bills"</em> in her own classroom. The story deals with juvenile crimes committed by three young boys and their teacher's refusal to let them be given straight to the authorities without a second chance.

In the given excerpt, Ellery decided to do a voluntary body search among the school students to get back the lost money. Suspense is built when he stated <em>"I see we'll have to do it the hard way"</em>. This creates suspense in such a way that he will try to solve the crime in whatever means he can.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
