1.it was a bright sunny day in April,and the clocks were striking thirteen

This is the narrative hook. A narrative hook occurs at the beginning of a passage to get the reader interested in the rest of the story. In this hook, the speaker begins talking about what seems to be a wonderful great day. Then the reader is hit with the fact that the clocks are striking thirteen. This makes it very different than what the reader is used to. While many people use a 24 hour clock instead of a 12 hour clock, it is usually only in digital form. Therefore, the word striking is not used. Striking is used for a digital clock because the hands move and are said to strike numbers. It is rare to find a 24 hour analog clock in our setting.

The answer to the question is to entertain friends.

If you read the passage, you can see that the text is informal. If addressing people of authority or with a professional stature, you would use a more formal speech. The word "bunch," is a clue that makes the text informal. So this would not be for a potential employer, college professor or to convince the school board.

Describe Corrie's and Betsie's attitude toward old age. Support your description with examples from the literature.
Nady [450]

Answer:

Corrie's and Betsie's attitude toward old age aren't really satisfying or appealing.

Explanation:

Corrie and Betsie are the characters from the novel 'The Hiding Place' which is written by Corrie Boom herself, who is the protagonist of the novel. Corrie is unmarried and a middle aged women, Betsie on the other hand is older than Corrie.

Corrie's and Besie's attitude towards old age isn't quite pleasant. They enjoy who they are and what they are, they like to be kids who are away from all the roles and responsibilities of an adult. They both are kind and loves to serve and help others, but when it comes to old age, they aren't really delighted or eager to be older.
