Answer:

The first uses dialogue and character; the second uses first-person point of view.

Explanation:

The first excerpt is found in Chapter Eight titled "September 2nd, 1973" from <em>Fever 1793</em> by Laurie Halse Anderson is based on the yellow fever epidemic that ravaged Philadelphia. The story is from the point of view of the young Mattie Cook, describing how the pandemic had destroyed the lives of the people.

The second excerpt is from <em>The Summer of the Pestilence</em> by George Dodd Armstrong. The book also deals with the history of the same yellow fever that not only affected Philadelphia but also other parts of the nation such as Virginia.

While both books deal with the same pandemic, their dealing with the issue of unprecedented deaths differ a bit. The first book uses a dialogue-conversation approach, with the characters greatly involved whereas the second book uses the first person point of view to address the deaths. These two books may deal with the same issue but their approaches of the deaths and sick people differ such that their narrative plots also differ.

Margarita [4]

Answer:

The correct answer is: <em>Sevastopol Sketches</em>.

Explanation:

<em>Sevastopol Sketches</em> was Leo Tolstoy's book of fiction which describes his time serving in the Crimean war. It contains three short stories published in 1855 to describe his experience during the Siege of Sevastopol (1854-1855). The name originates from Sevastopol, a city in Crimea where Tolstoy and his military unit were located during the siege.  

Names of the stories are: <em>Sevastopol in December, Sevastopol in May and Sevastopol in August </em>.

In these stories Tolstoy examines the senselessness and vanity of war, describes enemies, examines psychological aspects of war, and describes the eventual defeat of the Russian forces.

These stories formed the basis of many of the episodes in Tolstoy's novel <em>War and Peace</em>.

Why is Penelope so cautious when confronted by Odysseus after the massacre? a)She does not want to be deceived.
lord [1]
I believe the correct answer is A. She does not want to be deceived.
During the long years that Penelope waited for her husband Odysseus to come home, many people have come to Ithaca pretending to be Odysseus. So she is not likely to believe anyone that easily when they present themselves as her husband, which is why she is cautious even around the real Odysseus.
