What tone does the first sentence of the story create with its use of a specific date, time, and place?

2 answers:

If I'm reading this correctly, I'm guessing it would be the setting of the story. The setting is where the scene starts, like what you picture in your head when reading a book, or like a movie, the things around, such as the time, ex. 2:46 PM, in a Bookstore on the 12th of August on a Monday. That's setting.

Autobiography of an umbrella

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

"Who am I? I am an Umbrella, companion of rich and poor. My name originated from the Latin word which is ‘umbra’ which in turn derived from the Ancient Greek word called ‘ombro’ which means shower of rain. I love my name a lot and I think it is unique.

How I came into this world?

I am made from an umbrella factory across the world and I and my colleagues come in different sizes, modes, colours and patterns. I was made of wooden, plastic, iron and clothing materials.

My handle is mostly made of wood or plastic materials and my stem is made of painted iron; mostly black. I have a network of iron rib cage which is one of the important parts of my skeletal system. My rib cage is always made of iron and painted black with a plastic cap at the end, my rib cage can retract or divide into two for the convenience of my owner.

My rib cage is covered with a cloth which comes in different colours and pattern, likewise different clothing materials which give no room for penetration of water and reducing insulation from the scorching sun. I am a favourite of countless people and very cheap. I am a good companion for those who stay outside a lot whether during a sunny day or during precipitation. I am very cheap to procure and am easily found anywhere any time you want me.

I am always at service

My service is never obstructing by my own self, am always at my owner disposal, I give 100 % of me anytime or any day and till my end. My availability depends on how my owner handles me and the proper care I receive. My owner strolls the sun; I guide him, he walks in the rain; I protect him. I am also used for fashion because I come in different colours and pattern and I am beautifully made inside and out. What a great companion I am? I am an Umbrella and I am for protection!"

Questions 1–3: Identify the simple subjects and predicates. (Some are compound.) Then, identify and label each complete subject

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

1. Simple Subjects: Men, melons. Predicate: are. Complete Subject: Men and melons. Complete Predicate: are hard to know.

2. Simple Subjects: magistrate, people. Predicates: should obey (for both). Complete Subjects: The magistrate, The people. Complete Predicates: should obey the laws, should obey the magistrate.

3. Simple Subjects: Fish, visitors. Predicate: stink. Complete Subject: Fish and visitors. Complete Predicate: stink in three days.

The subject is who or what the sentence is about. The simple subject does not contain any modifiers, like adjectives or articles. The complete subject contains any of the modifiers that modify the subject. The simple predicate is the verb or verb phrase in the sentence. It does not included any of the words that modify the verb - only verbs.

4. shop, you

5. memories

A direct object receives the action of the verb. In sentence 4a, the shop is being kept by you. In sentence 4b, the shop is keeping you. In sentence 5, the memories are being had. Direct objects are ONLY in action sentences. They do not follow linking verbs.

6. age as in the present age

7. sermon

8. glorious, laborious.

The subject complement follows the linking verb in a sentence. The linking verbs link the subject to a description. That description is the subject complement. The subject complement is either a noun that renames the subject, or an adjective that describes the subject. In sentence 6, the present age is describing the Golden Age. In sentence 7, example is renamed as sermon. In sentence 8, the words glorious and laborious describe the man.

9. pie (DO), Richard (IO)

10. news (DO), me (IO)

11. star (DO), herself (IO)

12. car (DO), Uncle Mike (IO)

13. hamburger (DO), Timothy (IO)

The direct object receives the action of the subject and the indirect object receives the direct object. Sometimes I think about what you would do first if you were to act out the sentence. In sentence 9, first (or directly) is baking the pie so the pie is the direct object. Then (or indirectly), Richard gets the pie so Richard is the indirect object. I'm not actually baking him.

14. prepare and serve (compound predicate)

15. Sue and her (compound subject), papered and painted (compound predicate)

16. Hunting and trapping (compound subject)

17. snow and sleet (compound subject)

Compound subjects and compound predicates are two or more subjects or predicates joined together with a coordinating conjunction (usually and). The subjects and predicates have equal weight with each other in the sentence.

What type of literary or device is demonstrated in this sentence from the monkeys paw.

eimsori [14]

The sentence represents or demonstrates a foreshadowing (option B) in the story. Mr. White wished for 200 pounds, the monkey's paw moved (twisted) but the money didn't appear, then his son Herbert <em>bets he'll never see it. </em>Reading further, we learn that the paw's magic leads to tragic consequences for the people who asks for wishes to it. Herbert dies in a work-related accident and his company offers his family a compensation of 200 pounds, just the amount Mr. White wished for, and the same Herbert doubted he could see: his words were a hint the author gives us of what is to come in the story.
