What is the conclusion of Ruthless by William Demille

English
1 answer:
Mamont248 [21]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Ruth gets the drop on Wolfman, shooting him in the back at close range with a pistol. There are more pages remaining than any denouement would require, so Wolfman's return isn't that much of a surprise itself. He nabs Ruth, tosses her in a car, drags her to a field to finish his kill. She's so close to salvation. She can see a convenient store up ahead and hears cop cars approaching. If she can just fight Wolfman a few more minutes, she can make it. But she knows he'll overpower her. He's determined to end her even if it means guaranteeing his own capture. So she does the only thing she can. She plays dead. Wolfman is so convinced that he buries her in a pit. He shovels dirt onto her face, and Ruth fights the urge to blink. The girl who values winning above all else must give up and be defeated in order to save herself. In order to continue to be anything at all, she has to become nothing. Just a few pages previous we saw Ruth floating triumphantly downriver in what should have been a standard baptismal/rebirth moment, but it's not till she's pulled out of the ground like a resurrected corpse that she truly allows change into her heart. It's a great ending, the right ending. Ruth is grating for a good part of the book, prideful, conceited, cocky. Going limp against every instinct, every self-taught survival mechanism she has, Ruth is truly humbled, truly changed. Ruthless is Adams' first book, and it's flawed. But the ending she chose is perfect.

Read the paragraph from a personal narrative. 1 It may have seemed like an ordinary day to everyone else, but to me, it couldn't
Anton [14]

Answer:

lea el párrafo de una narración personal. 1 Puede haber parecido un día normal para todos los demás, pero para mí, no podría haber estado más lejos. 2 Hoy fue mi primer día trabajando como mesera en Pete's Pizza Haven, y no podría haber estado más emocionado. 3 De hecho, estaba tan emocionado que me apresuré a prepararme mucho más rápido de lo normal. 4 "Estoy listo para ir!" Grité, saltando por las escaleras y volando hacia la cocina, donde mi madre estaba haciendo el desayuno. 5 "Tengo mucho que aprender y no quiero llegar tarde", dije para enfatizar. 6 Mi mamá solo sonrió y puso un plato humeante de huevos delante de mí. ¿Qué se debe agregar después de la oración 6 para avanzar más eficazmente la trama? La emoción de mi nuevo trabajo comenzó a disminuir, y comenzó a reconsiderar si realmente era así como quería pasar mi verano. Una vez que llegué, aprendí rápidamente que mi trabajo también implicaría limpiar mesas, trapear pisos y lavar platos. Me tragué la comida, agarré mi tarjeta de autobús y picoteé a mi madre en la mejilla mientras salía corriendo por la puerta. Al recordar mi primer trabajo, recordar los muchos errores que cometieron y las lecciones importantes que aprendieron.
