Summarize: At the end of the story, where is each character going and why?
Oxana [17]

Answer:

At the end of the story, each character is going to the roof because the entire building was on fire.

Explanation:

"Uprising" is a novel written by Margaret Peterson Haddix. The story is based on the true events of "The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire."

The novel has three main characters– Bella, Yetta, and Jane. When the building catches fire, in the novel, everyone rushes towards the stairs to reach the roof to escape the fire. Some try to use escalators and some stairs. But the fire was fierce enough to consume everyone. The novel had only one survivor– Bella.

Therefore, each character in the novel is rushing towards the roof to escape the fire.

How does a first-person narrator differ from a third-person narrator? Select all that apply.
UNO [17]

Answer:

Definitely the first one, probably the second and third as well?

Explanation:

A first-person narrator is usually recounting an event, so they definitely use 'I'.

A third-person narrator sometimes knows the thoughts of other characters, depending on whether they're omniscient or not.

A first-person narrator is likely to show bias I think, because they're telling the story from their point of view so they're very likely to share their opinions and stuff. I don't really know, you're gonna kinda have to decide on this one.

A third-person narrator sometimes takes part? I mean, if they're third-person limited then usually it's the POV of a character but from a more detached persona? For example, in the Heroes of Olympus series all the chapters are in third person limited but all the characters take part in the action. If it's third-person omniscient then I don't think they'd be taking part in the action, unless the narrator is like a dude from the future recounting events that happened to his younger self and all that stuff. I don't really know, man.
