Think of a favorite story. How does the writer let you know what’s going on? Consider the beginning, and explain how the writer
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

My favourite story is 'There will come soft rains' by Ray Bradbury. I've noticed in his writing particularly this piece he uses repeating words and phrases to describe the mechanical functions of the house. Along with great auditory and visual description, he paints an amazing scene of the clockwork construct of the house. The very first sentence shows this.

"In the living room the voice-clock sang, 'Tick-tock, seven o'clock, time to get up, time to get up,  seven o 'clock!' as if it were afraid that nobody would"  The line being included of "As if it were afraid that nobody would" points to the great reason of this stories existence.

Another section, one with amazing visual description as opposed to the more auditory description of the voice-clock.

"'Nine-fifteen,' sang the clock, 'time to clean. '

Out of warrens in the wall, tiny robot mice darted. The rooms were a crawl with the small cleaning  animals, all rubber and metal. They thudded against chairs, whirling their moustached runners,  kneading the rug nap, sucking gently at hidden dust. Then, like mysterious invaders, they popped  into their burrows. Their pink electric eyes faded. The house was clean."

This is amazing at giving you a visual representation of what a daily chore in this house is like, How delicate such a process can be. It gives you a sense that one mistake can ruin the quiet inner workings of the house. Without even suggesting that anything go wrong because of how organized the scene is the descriptive languages helps portray almost everything in the story, the kitchen scenes with the smell of bacon, toast, and eggs. The sounds of the voice-clock and tiny cleaning mice. There are no characters, only the house. And the story makes you feel as though the house is a character, that it has just as much personality as a human. I genuinely love this story.

How and why has the English Language evolved over time?
malfutka [58]

Answer:

The English Language has evolved overtime to make things easier to understand.

Explanation:

For example, words like 'thou' and 'thy' aren't used as frequently anymore due to the evolving nature of our language. As people continue communicating, language changes and certain words become harder to understand and get lost. With simpler language created with time, everyone can communicate in a way that is understandable.
