Answer:
Charles' novel
Explanation:
In "The novel by Charles", the possessive noun should be 'Charles' because Charles wrote the novel, therefore it belongs to him.
<u>When indicating possession, add apostrophe and the letter "s"</u> at the end of the possessive noun : 's
You would think it looks like this: Charles's novel
However, there is another rule. <u>When a word ends with the letter "s", you only put the apostrophe</u> and do not need the second s.
Charles' novel
Incomplete question. However, I assumed you are referring to the story, "Fahrenheit" 451 by Ray Bradbury.
<u>Explanation:</u>
For example, in the novel, the character Clarisse is portrayed as someone who appreciates nature, so much so that she finds time always to observe creation even though most people in her community are preoccupied with work and entertainment that they lack the time to do so.
Another character is Mildred, the wife of Montag, she is portrayed as someone who has a love for entertainment that is so strong to the extent it overshadows that of her husband. Her behavior contrast with that of Clarisse who has a healthy view of entertainment.
What the author, Montag is saying through his characters is that
- those in his society do not value human life, recall we were told the police don't punish those who over speed, thus accidents occur often.
- those in his society are less concerned about their families; which was made evident in the case of Mildred.
