B - Climax
Climax means '<span>the most intense, exciting, or important point of something; a culmination or apex.' </span>
Constructive feedback reinforces positive behavior and offers a critique in a direct but respectful way. If given in a negative or rude way, criticism might not only hurt the feelings of the receiver but also reinforce negative behavior. Blending praise and suggestions make the feedback polite and efficient.
In the excerpt, the two parts that contain constructive feedback are:
<em>'My favorite part of the essay was when you described your grandmother's reaction after finding the frog in her purse because it was so funny and so vivid.'</em>
<em>'I would suggest working on word choice, since you used the same words many times in the essay. Use a thesaurus to find synonyms if you need to.'</em>
The first section reinforces positive behavior by offering a compliment while the second one offers a suggestion for improvement.
The other sections criticize his friend's paper in a negative way, making harsh comments without offering any suggestions or solutions to the flaws found.
The topic sentence is the starting sentence and what you’re talking about
One way in which the character Elenita in
"Gravity" shows her independence is by wearing clothes that are
inappropriate for a New Year's celebration.
Gravity was written by Judith Ortiz Cofer. <span>Ortiz Cofer is best known for her works of
creative nonfiction, and she began her writing career with poetry, which she
felt “contains the essence of language.” </span>
The three things necessary for a change in character to be believable are the following:
-It’s slow (gradual).
-It’s not linear.
-It’s complete.
A change arc in a character has to have a setup, a reaction and a counter-reaction/conclusion; these stages are gradual and end with a more round character, in a conclusive way that is satisfactory in the sense that the change was complete.
