An essential step in closely reading fiction could be making notes about specific parts of the text, or keeping a journal of your interpretations. Sometimes it is good to make a rest from reading, think about the part of the text you red and make notes. Listing all of the characters and settings can help, especially when the book is complex, but it is not necessary. The most important is to thing everything through and to understand in the right way... It is also important to identify the writing style, and to understand why is the author writing that way. If the focus of your reading is not literal aspect of the text, but language, that you should pay the greatest attention to unfamiliar words.
Answer:
A). Betty.
Explanation:
'The Crucible' authored by Arthur Miller displays the 'Salem witch trials' during the late seventeenth century.
As per the question, 'Betty' is the one who becomes unconscious at the end of the act I when she joins the girls dancing in the forest along with Tituba that leads her almost to a 'coma like state'. She actually gets trapped into an unusual torpor that is responsible for her unconscious state and hysteria that she suffers which substantiates the presence of witchcraft in the town. Thus, <u>option A</u> is the correct answer.
Edgar Allen Poe had a difficult life from the very beginning. His father was an alcoholic who later left the family when he was very young, and he was separated from his siblings when his mother died from tuberculosis. Later in his life, he was denied engagement to a woman whom he loved. His poems were not selling as they were very dark and depressing in contrast to the usual humorous and witty poems many were accustomed to. When he married to his wife (who was very, VERY young and related to him), she later contacted tuberculosis and died. This, along with the moderate success of his poems in the newspapers, spiraled Poe into an alcoholic depression. Hope this helps!
