Literary nonfiction is the closest thing to a written document. Take for example you were in the Renaissance era, where new art, and theries, and styles were being developed. You, a young novelist, were to write about what you saw. This written piece that you've written can be used to change history. How? Because you can write about, how it was developed, how it was created, the smaller details that we overlook.

Try and picture yourself now. You see a new historic site being built. And you wrote about it. 200 years into the future an architecture found what you wrote and used it to help change the style of future buildings.

Bottom line... it helps change, impact and inform us of what we weren't able to see.

Make sense?

Shelia E. is a singer and plays the drums. Which error is made in the above sentence? A. coordinating excessively B. lacking par

viva [34]

Answer:

B. lacking parallelism

Explanation:

The original sentence contains a predicate nominative (singer) and an action verb (plays), which shows lack of parallelism.

The best way to fix the error would be to use a parallel structure, which is the repetition of a certain grammatical form within a sentence:

"Shelia E. sings and plays the drums."

Now the sentence uses two action verbs sings and plays in the present tense, and this is an example of parallelism.

EMERGENCY QUICK! PLEASE HELP WITH MY QUESTIONS! 1. What are some advantages of James Hurst deciding to have Brother as the narra

Natalija [7]

This question refers to the story "The Scarlet Ibis" by James Hurst.

1. The story "The Scarlet Ibis" is told from the perspective of Doodle's older brother. This child is referred to in the story as "Brother." There are several reasons why the story might be told from Brother's perspective. First, the story focuses on the relationship between the two brothers. Therefore, it is more informative for the reader if a brother narrates the events, as opposed to another member of the family. Moreover, Doodle has a developmental problem, which makes Brother the most reliable narrator of the two.

2. If the story was written from the parents' perspective, there would be significant changes in tone and mood. It is likely that the parents would not understand the connection between the brothers in the same way that Brother understands them. Moreover, it is also likely that the parents would have more pity and compassion for Doodle than Brother has.

3. If the scene was rewritten from Old Woman Swamp's point of view, it is likely that the scene would feature both brothers more prominently. First, it might show the struggle that Doodle faces earlier, which might indicate to the reader that Doodle might be in danger. Moreover, this point of view would probably focus less on the inner thoughts of Brother and more in the way the brothers interact with one another.
