Why do writers use appositives and appositive phrases in their writing?

English
2 answers:
NISA [10]3 years ago
7 0
<span>An appositive (or an appositive phrase) gives more information about a noun. The appositive is usually placed next to the noun it modifies. Writers use appositive and appositive phrases in order to provide more information about something. Consider this sentence: Samson, my little puppy, tore the pillow apart. Here, the phrase "my little puppy" is an appositive phrase that tells us more about the noun "Samson." Thanks to the appositive phrase, the reader knows that it was a little puppy that tore the pillow apart, and not a person or other animal. Therefore, appositives are important in order to clearly convey information to the reader.</span>

What background knowledge helps the reader understand the theme of age bringing wisdom in "Birdfoot's Grampa”?
miskamm [114]

Answer:

As described on the poem, the car's driver refers the individual who caused him to stop his car as an "old man". Therefore, it is implied the driver is much younger than that individual.

Elderly people are characterized as wise beings, given the broader amount of experience they have gained throughout their lifetime - produced by their longer primacy on Earth. Humans shape their behaviour as they age up, thus, elders think very differently than younger generations. In the case of the poem, the old man holds stronger moral values towards the toads than does the driver - creating a misunderstanding between the characters.

Ghandi's reference to historical battles in his writings is an example of _____. allusion perspective point of view imperialism
Sauron [17]

Answer:

Allusion

Explanation:

A brief (without going into details) reference to a well-known event, place, or person of historical, religious, political, or cultural importance is called allusion. This is usually done to reach at some conclusion, to make a point, claim, or to say more in few words. For example, <em>he is the Hamlet of our class, That park is like Garden of Eden.</em>

Perspective and point of view are similar concepts. It is lens through which a reader or a writer analyzes an event, character or situation etc.

Imperialism means the policy of ruling over a(usually another) country by use of force, or by political/economic power.

The night whose sable breast relieves the stark. White stars is no less lovely being dark. Is this an example of imagery, allusi
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

It seems to me that this piece would either be an example of imagery, or an example of a metaphor.

Explanation:

An allusion means to reference someone else's work. Ambiguity is like a play on words. It just seems to me that this would either be imagery or metaphor over the other options.
