He stated that 6 requirements should be met:

<span>1. Be able to be read in one sitting.  Poe defined this as being from one-half hour to one or two hours.</span>

<span>2. Strive for unity of effect.  Poe believed the aim of the short story was to create a mood, an ambience, or as he called it, an “effect.”</span><span> </span>

<span>3. Begin with the first sentence.  Poe insisted that the effect should be created from the very first line.</span>

<span>4. Have nothing in it that detracts from the design. The story should lead directly and inevitably to the conclusion without excess or digressive material.</span>

<span>5. Aim for truth.  He believed that the story should remain true to the way people really act in a given situation, true to the human heart.</span>

<span>6. Stress imagination, invention, creation and originality. </span>

The answers would be:

The fast pacing highlights exciting events to keep the reader’s attention.


The fast pacing indicates that the story is moving toward a key event in the text.

Fast pacing focuses more on action than on scenery description and details. In the excerpt, information is provided succinctly in order to further the story quickly. There is no development of the three months it took the pigs to learn how to read and write, for instance. It is only mentioned briefly (highlighted) so as to explain another key event: the renaming of the farm. The characters are not described in detail as well. The information about Snowball being the best writer is also given concisely.

The root mal means bad or evil. Can you defermine what the word maleficent means by using
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

The word maleficent means causing harm especially by supernatural means, and we can determine this because the root 'mal' means evil as stated, and maleficent is a term used for evil occurences (specifically in movies and stuff)

Explanation:

So you can determine that the adjective describes something evil or bad because of the use of the root :) Sorry if this isn't specific enough, but it's quite straight forward to me at least so I don't know how to elaborate if you need a more formal answer
