Read the excerpt from Utopia. But after the ambassadors had stayed a day among them, and saw so vast a quantity of gold in their

houses (which was as much despised by them as it was esteemed in other nations), and beheld more gold and silver in the chains and fetters of one slave than all their ornaments amounted to, their plumes fell, and they were ashamed of all that glory for which they had formed valued themselves, and accordingly laid it aside . . . This detail supports the central idea that riches are not important to Utopians. It is best described as a(n) fact. analogy. anecdote. example.

The correct answer is "It is best described as an anecdote".

We consider an anecdote to be a personal account or retelling of a particular event or incident. The key word here is "personal". In the example given, we clearly see how <u>the point of view is from the protagonist of a certain personal experience he had and the way he felt about it, constituting it as an anecdote.</u>

We don't know for a fact Utopians don't care about riches, because we're only getting a single man's experience which in addition, cannot be proven.

An analogy recquires some sort of strong comparisson of metaphor that isn't really present in this excerpt.


Hope this helps!

Answer:

1. The author hasn't told us the real reason of why Laura died. She has told us about their housemaid, Reenie, but we do not know how that is connected to Laura's death. Also, the author says that Laura might have her "reasons", but doesn't even tell us indirectly what those reason might be...

2. Two possible answers

- Laura's notebooks are her childhood diaries/a record of a secret relationship/a novel

OR

- Iris feels responsible for her sisters death/never loved her husband

Explanation for the 2nd one:

- The author remembers Reenie (maybe while reading one of Laura's diaries) and she also feels the need to tell Richard, her husband. But why does she feel the need to tell Richard? Maybe because Richard may have been in love with Laura, and because something went wrong (something didn't or couldn't work out) they have split up and Richard married Iris. Or maybe Iris felt some kind of anger towards Laura and that's why she married Richard (we don't quite know).  And Laura may have been furious of Richard's or Iris' decision so much that she decided to kill herself (or did she? We don't know 'cause it's the first chapter). And that might be the reason Iris might have felt the need to inform Richard about Laura's death - because she thinks (or maybe knows feels) that Richard doesn't love her, he still loves Laura and that because they got married that, somehow may associate on the reason of Laura's death.

If you could retitle salt to the sea what would it be
kirza4 [7]

If one could retitle the novel "Salt to the Sea", another befitting title would be: "The Importance of Family".

<h3>What is Salt to the Sea about?</h3>

The title alludes to the deaths aboard the MV Wilhelm Gustloff. It also alludes to the process by which salt dissolves back into the sea as a metaphor for the loss of life, culture, and identity in both those who perished in the tragedy and those who survived only to become refugees in a new nation.

The title of a text usually is a pointer to what the subject matter is about.
