Mandarinka [93]3 years ago

<u>Explanation:</u>

Remember, the English word foreshadowing refers to a brief detail or scene that shows something that will occur again in the future. Indeed, this was the case in "House Taken Over" by Julio Cortazar.

For example, in the story a foreshadow of a shift in the tone of the story begins when we read about Elvio;

“I went down the corridor as far as the oak door, which was ajar, then turned into the hall toward the kitchen, when <em>I heard something in the library or the dining room. The sound came through muted and indistinct, a chair being knocked over onto the carpet or the muffled buzzing of a conversation...</em>I heard it. ....toward the door. I hurled myself against the door before it was too late and shut it...I ran the great bolt into place, just to be safe.”

Interestingly, from that point on the house became taken over by strange noises. In the end, the siblings been fully frightened left their ancestral home, that is when the true meaning title of the story becomes clearer. Indeed, it became a "House Taken Over".

The following sentence is written in passive voice. Rewrite the sentence to make it active voice.
vitfil [10]

Answer:

The neighbors invited us to attend a party.

Explanation:

Since you needed to go from passive to active, the sentence needed to be more straightforward. Passive is a lot more subtle, but on the other hand, active voice tells what the person (the neighbors) is doing directly. So you're basically flipping the sentence over a bit.
