The author's purpose is to shed light on the relationship between Lancelot and Guenevere. He achieves his goal through careful selection of details which suggest the following:

1- Acquaintance between the two characters: they both ackowledge eachother's presence using first names

2-Excitement about being reunited: a simple greeting wasn't enough and so they "go up to eachother"

3-A degree of physical closeness:  this shows as they hold eachother's hand "<em>and stay that way for a moment</em>"

4- A conflict involving King Arthur: the passage suggests a degree of jealousy from Lancelot towards King Arthur and some guilt from Guenevere before Lancelot regarding King Arthur

5- An attempt at damage control: Guenevere gives a short answer to Lancelot and changes the topic which suggests she cares about his feelings

Through the dialogue, the author sets the mood for what comes accross as a platonic love between the two characters.

The purpose of the passage given above is to establish the relationship between Guenevere and Lancelot. You can see that they both know each other well by looking at details like the casual manner of talking such as speaking in first names. Another obvious indicator is that "They go up to each other, and he takes both her hands." This implies that they are close enough for physical touch.

Recall a "first" in life: the birth of your first baby sibling, your first time driving, the first birthday party you remember,
klio [65]

Answer:

Sitting stiffly in front of the steering wheel, I do as my father told me and gently start the car. Carefully I drove it to the middle of the street double-checking, the rearview mirror just in case that a car or a bike suddenly appears. I successfully did the firsts meters without any problems. I made it to the end of my desolated street. Everything was fine, no cars, no kids, no dogs, nothing to worry about.

Suddenly, Tim, that annoying kid with his red ball, sees me from his porch. I saw his face while I was anxiously approaching his ostentatious house, and I knew that he was planning something. Carefully lying my feet on the brakes expecting for him to run in front of the car and my nervous self, I pass in front of his house. I was driving so slowly that I made his target extremely easy. His shiny red ball hit me square in the face making me lose control of the car and hit the brakes just in time before crashing the car against the big oak tree of Mr. Ferguson.

Explanation:

In this text, we describe a first-time driving experience. In the text, there are details about how the person feels during his first driving, what he sees, and what he is scare of. Also, we develop the sequence from the moment he sees his neighbor till he loses control due to the ball.

It is important to include details and a sequence in a narrative to engage the reader, make it clear, and transmit the story and the scene as vividly as possible.

From what you have read and previewed, which statements are true of both "Pyramus and Thisbe” and The Tragedy of Romeo and Julie
Nataly [62]

The children must hide their love from their families. In the end, the children die as a result of their love. The love between the children is forbidden.

In "Pyramus and Thisbe" the parents simply do not want their children falling in love with each other. We do not know the reason for this and are not told of any feud or conflict. This means that any option that has to do with a conflict between the families should not be chose. Since the children have to hide their love from the families in both pieces of literature, it is safe to say that love between them is forbidden. In the end, Pyramus and Thisbe, Romeo and Juliet die because of their love for each other.
