Discuss the contradictions present in the narration in Maupassant a wedding gift

English
1 answer:
ki77a [65]3 years ago
3 0
Three contradictions were present in Maupassant's "A Wedding Gift". First is found in the first stanza which stated that Jacques Bourdilliere had sworn never to marry. This vow was suddenly broken when he saw Berthe. The two married too soon.

Second is when the story spoke of the binding attachment that was broken between Jacques and his former lover. A binding attachment is not supposed to be broken, from the phrase itself.

Third contradiction is the title of the story. The child was a wedding gift for the newly-wed couple brought by the tragedy of Jacques' former lover. A tragedy is unusual to be interpreted as a gift, especially at a wedding.

Is “everyone went to the dance, but me” a compound sentence?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

"Everyone went to the dance, but me," is not a compound sentence.

Explanation:

A compound sentence is--similarly to the sentence in the question--something a comma is present within. The similarities basically end there. A compound sentence is the joining of two separate thoughts with--in general--the first being a <em>complete sentence</em> with a subject, and the second being an <em>incomplete sentence</em>, but having a different subject.

  • "I just lost my dog, but my cat seems to be happy about it." is a compound sentence.

In the above sentence, the first clause is a complete thought that could be on its own,

  • "I just lost my dog."

but the second sentence is incomplete without the first even with a subject and verb.

  • "But my cat seems to be happy about it."

That's the best explanation I can give on compound sentences.

In your case with the sentence, "Everyone went to the dance, but me," there may be a subject, verb, and <u>complete sentence</u> in...

  • "Everyone went to the dance."

but even with, "But me." being incomplete, the fact there is no subject nor verb removes the possibility of it being a compound sentence.

employing kinesthetic Imagery, describe one of you daily routines.Limit your answer to three to five sentences only​
qwelly [4]

Answer:

My daily routine begins in the morning, just after waking up, when I walk from my room to the kitchen for breakfast consisting of a bowl of cereal and a glass of cold milk. Then I start cleaning all the objects that I held during breakfast and then I do a session of physical exercises, where I move rhythmically for about half an hour. After that moment, I return to my room and turn on my computer, where I will attend the classes available for that day. Next, I'm going to walk my dog for a while, so he can exercise and have some fun. When I get home, I take a hot shower and help my mom finish dinner. At night, I tend not to move around a lot and stay in my room reading, watching or talking with friends. I usually sleep early to get enough energy for the next day.

Explanation:

The above text was written to present kinesthetic Imagery that are mental images, promoted through a descriptive textual language, that promote the sensation of physical movement in the reader, through the reading of movements in a text, which can be highly detailed and with a sensorial source, or more basic and direct.
