English
1 answer:
k0ka [10]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

A. Children sometimes act out when they’re attempting to figure out who they are.

Explanation:

The short story "Charles" by Shirley Jackson tells the story of a young boy Laurie who makes up the character of Charles as a reason for the problem in school. He makes up his alter ego Charles to justify the acts done in school and most probably, his actions in school.

The story tells Laurie who would always tell stories of his friend Charles doing this and that, hitting others, disobeying the teacher, getting punished, etc. The narrator, being the mother of Laurie, was not impressed with her child's schoolmate. So, she decided to find out Charles' mother in an attempt to find out more about hi, only to be told that there is no Charles in the kindergarten. This seems to suggest to the bigger picture that children act out when they are attempting to figure out their own identity.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Select the two lines that contribute to the exposition of the story? Group of answer choices "The man called Evans came swaying
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

"The man called Evans came swaying along the canoe until he could look over his companion's shoulder."

"The paper had the appearance of a rough map. By much folding it was creased and worn to the pitch of separation, and the second man held the discoloured fragments together where they had parted."

Explanation:

Hello. From the context of your question we can see that it relates to "The Treasure in the Forest" a tale written by HG Wells that presents the story of two men who sail in search of treasure after murdering a Chinese man and stealing the map he owned.

The story follows a plot full of adventures, mysteries and reflections and like every plot presents an element called exposition. The exposition can be found at the beginning of the story where important elements for the development of the entire plot are presented to the reader. In the case of the question above, the two response options selected above are two examples of exposition, where one of the characters and the map are presented, which is a central element in the entire narrative.

lord [1]

Answer: Figurative language is mostly used to leave a long lasting impression of something. Writers create images using figurative language so as to have us analyze and observe them in more detail. All of this is especially true of poets and poems who use metaphors, personification, and other narrative devices, so as to convey meaning almost all the time.
