Answer:
go on the app/website gradesaver and the information you need is thereExplanation:
When the author relates a particular event, he encourages the reader to follow along. When this happens, the reader is meant to focus on the story and understand the events that transpired. However, the reader might get distracted, or he might fail to identify the specific aspects that the author wants to highlight.
By using contrast and contradictions, the author encourages the reader to focus on a new idea that is significantly different to the one already presented. By doing so, the author forces the reader to pause, rethink and reevaluate the information presented, thus increasing his understanding of the subject.
Answer:
A. Literature needs a more optimistic view of people.
Explanation:
American novelist William Faulkner won the Nobel Prize in literature in 1949 for his novel "Absalom, Absalom!" And in his acceptance speech, he addressed why it is so much of an issue in writing what is positive and how we, as humans, are all so engrossed and taken over by our fear of life's events that no one seems to understand and try to write of more positive things.
He stated that <em>"Our tragedy today is a general and universal physical fear so long sustained by now that we can even bear it."</em> And it is this constant fear that makes it impossible or difficult for any writer to write about things that are of hope or positive thoughts. He emphasized the need to overcome or move beyond this constant thought of fear, and instead write of hope, and not let fear dictate what they write or want to say.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
For this analysis I will deal with the element of characterization in the short story "The Instrument" by Canadian writer Wayde Compton. It tells the story of twin brothers Albert and Donald. They used to be siamese, conjoined at the back of their heads until they underwent surgery as children to separate them.
The conflict in the story arises when one of them wants to record a documentary about their father, a former musician that seems to have become mentally ill after years of drug use. The person financing the documentary is the same millionaire that paid for the surgery decades before. While Donald wants to record the documentary and interview his father, Albert will try to stop it because he thinks their father is crazy and he will embarrass himself.
The conflict is framed through the separation between the two brothers, both physical through the surgery they underwent and the resultant emotional separation. At one point, Donald sees Albert for the first time in a while, "Donald runs a hand over his own scalp, seems to catch himself doing it, puts his palm down flat on the white table". This quotation points out that the first thing that comes to mind when they see each other is how they were joined or connected, and we may hint some longing for reconnection, even if it is through reflex actions like touching the scar in the scalp.
