4 0

<em>In medias res </em>means in the middle of the action.

<em>In medias res</em> is a literary term that<u> is used to refer to a text that starts in the middle of the plot instead of starting with the beginning of the story</u>. When writers employ <em>in medias res</em>, they usually present the events that happened before by means of flashbacks or dialogue. Famous literary works such as Homer's <em>Iliad</em> and<em> Odyssey </em>and Shakespeare's <em>Hamlet </em>begin in medias res; in other words, <u>they go straight to the heart of the plot</u>.

Select all the words that form the independent clause in the sentence. The movie, which we watched yesterday, was hilarious.
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The words that form the independent clause in the sentence "The movie, which we watched yesterday, was hilarious." are: The movie was hilarious.

Explanation:

There are two types of clauses:

  • Independent clauses: they can stand on their own. That is to say, that they make sense when we read them. There is no need for extra information to understand the meaning.
  • Dependent clauses: they can not stand on their own. In other words, they depend on another clause, which gives the necessary information to understand the meaning of the dependant clause.

Both types of clauses consist mainly of a subject and a verb, they are separated by commas, or they have subordinating conjunction at the beginning of the clause.

In this case, the clause between commas (which we watched yesterday) is the dependant clause. I can not fully understand the meaning of it when reading only that clause since information is missing. The clause The movie was hilarious is the independent clause because it can stand on its own.

What is an effect of Chaucer’s decision to use a pilgrimage as the central premise for The Canterbury Tales?
777dan777 [17]

Solution: The pilgrimage is a religious expedition. It has the following effects:

1. It sets the metaphor of a journey both physical and literary. A journey is generally a symbol of human curiosity and growth.  

2. A pilgrimage is not only for penance and grace but also a time when people abandon work and take a vacation. therefore it sets a 'carnivalesque'  setting. Celebrations are often used in literature for subversion of established social order.

3. A pilgrimage is taken by almost all types of people; therefore it provides apt setting where characters representing different social, political, cultural and economic backgrounds can come together. This way he could reveal more about the society he is criticizing.

This list is not exhaustive, more can be added to it.
