MatroZZZ [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

  • <em>Can be read in one sitting</em>
  • <em>Has one plot</em>
  • <em>Deals with a single problem. </em>

Explanation:

A<u> short story</u> is a narrative piece that presents ideas and themes in a lesser length. Since it has a <u>shorter scope</u> it must present <u>one plot</u>, deal with a <u>single problem</u>, avoid overcomplicating things, and should explore a precise theme through specific narrative devices. A <u>short story</u> rarely develops both main and minor characters, merely because of its length.

Novels, on the other hand, can develop both main and minor characters, and focus on multiple issues throughout the story.

Write three inverted sentences about events in the wife of baths tale
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

  • "At the same cask of mariage I shall broach "
  • "Today there walks the holy friar himself "
  • "Sad was the knight"

Explanation:

Inverted sentences are those in which the order in which the predicate and the subject is presented in an inverted form to what is conventionally seen. That is, usually, the subject appears before the predicate, however, in the inverted sentences this order is changed and the predicate appears before the subject.

The above phrases, taken from "The wife of Baths" is an example of this. However, it is necessary that you understand what is predicate and subject.

Subject is the element of the sentence in which the verb is acting. In the case of the phrase "Today there walks the holy friar himself", the verb is "walks" and he refers to "holy friar", since it is holy friar who is walking. In this case, "holy friar" is the subject of the sentence.

The predicate refers to everything the subject is doing, in the case of the sentence above, the subject is walking in a location. This in the sentence is represented by "Today there walks," this being the predicate.

In The Donner Party, what did the Donner Party find stuck in the branches of a tree as they followed their map westward?
Naddik [55]
The correct answer is letter D: <span>a note from a traveler who had gone on the marked trail, telling them to take a different and safer route if they could.

The Donner Party was a group of American Pioneers who headed out to California and followed a different route by wagons. They ended up being stuck in the blizzard, resulting to the lost of their supplies and eventually into cannibalism. Along the trail they saw letters stuck in trees that they need to take a different and safer route in order for them to get where they are headed, but the group did not heed the message and still pursued their path which lead to their own demise.</span>
