Sedbober [7]3 years ago

I think one of the main reasons Mark Twain used a young boy as the main character and narrator of such a controversial novel filled with adult themes to convey the innocent side of these adult themes. Telling this story in the eyes of a teenage boy, the morality of these situations appears more obvious. Another reason why Mark Twain used a teenage boy as the main character and narrator in the novel is because it allows Twain to imply a comparison between the powerlessness and the vulnerability of a child and the powerlessness and vulnerability of a black man in the pre-Civil War era. He also may be using a child protagonist to dramatize the conflicts between societal and received morality on one hand and a different kind of morality based on experience and intuition.

The excerpt that tells the White family's uncertainty on the Major's story would be when Mr. White said:
"If the tale about the monkey's paw is not more truthful than those he has been telling us," said Herbert, as the door closed behind their guest, just in time to catch the last train, "we shan't make much out of it." This is because they are not sure what is true about the information that a stranger told them in the train.

Which revision most effectively corrects the faulty parallelism in this sentence?
Alex_Xolod [135]

The revision which most effectively corrects the faulty parallelism in the above sentence is:

C. The novel is about a woman who is young, poor, and hardworking. 

Parallelism is the use of same components, forms or ideas which are the same or are similar in a sentence. It adds rhythm to the sentences and helps in specifying the ideas more because it involves repetition of ideas or words. The repetition of the words in the lines or parallelism makes an idea or argument more specific and clearer.
