B. Opinion
def: a view or judgement not necessarily based on fact or knowledge
Answer:
The narrator is presenting the thoughts of Greg Ridley.
The story would have been different if the thoughts of other characters would have been presented as it would have shed light on other areas as well.
Explanation:
'The Treasure of Lemon Brown' is a novel written by Walter Dean Myers. The novel is about Greg Ridley and his meeting with the famous blues singer, Lemon Brown.
The narrative used in the novel is third person limited. This narrative sheds light on the thoughts of limited characters. <u>In the novel 'The Treasure Of Lemon Brown' the narrator has expressed the thoughts of Greg Ridley only</u>.
The setback of this type of narrative is that readers are left to thinking what would be the thoughts of other characters in the text. For instance, in this novel, we do not know what Lemon Brown was feeling. This sets a back-drop on narration as it limits the thoughts of other characters.
The answer is:
- repetition
- alliteration
- assonance
In the pasage from "Theme for English B," the author Langston Hughes makes use of repetition when he reproduces the words <em>and</em>, <em>hear, me, </em>and <em>you</em> several times.
He also uses alliteration, which is the evident repetition of identical consonant sounds in nearby syllables. For example, <em>true </em>and <em>twenty-two</em>, as well as <em>hear </em>and <em>Harlem. </em>
Finally, Hughes also employs assonance, which is the resemblance in vowel sounds among syllables and words. For instance, <em>true, two, you</em> and <em>too</em>; and <em>feel, see </em>and <em>we</em>.
The second choice best applies to the given excerpt. First, it can be noted from this excerpt that the writer wants to convey a pessimistic view of fate. With that, the last choice will not apply to the paragraph anymore. The second and third choices do not apply as well because all words used were neither jargon nor difficult. Rather the words and phrases used like, "interested...but changed their minds", "frustrated", and "revolution in the mountains", were easy to grasp and quickly conveys how a possibly bright future has turned into a sour one.
