Answer:

c. hyperbole

Explanation:

In literature, hyperbole is a way of speaking in an exaggerated manner that commonly uses words and phrases that are obviously false to emphasize, to add humor, to gain attention on something or to make a point. Examples of this figurative language are “I lost my head entirely” and “That day I ate the biggest burger that has ever existed.”

If a story has an unreliable narrator does that mean we shouldnt trust anything the character says why or why not

Allushta [10]

If a story has an unreliable narrator, you should still trust what they say, although you must take it with a grain of salt. The narrator could still be telling the truth, although if they are insane they may describe seeing a ghost when there wasn't really a ghost. An unreliable narrator does not create a fake story, only an unreliable story, where there may be holes or lies weaved into truth.

A.) Miep and Mr.Kraler

Mr. and Mrs. VanDaan joined Anne Frank and her family while they are in hiding. Therefore, they could not have protected them and brought them food since they are hiding too. Margot is Anne's sister so she was also in hiding. This leaves the only option as option A, Miep and Mr. Kraler. They were people that Mr. Frank trusted with their secret. Miep and Bep actually found Anne Frank's diary and kept them safe.

Answer:

Explanation:

Let's start by claryfing what theme means. Every time we are asked to explain or find a theme in literature, we must keep in mind that what we are trying to find is the underlying message, or the main idea(s) provided by that piece of work. It is always extra-helpful to find some more information about the author's backgound (not only7 academically, but) especially regarding his/her social context, historical moment, place of origin and where the author lived, etc. This gives you a wider conception on what influenced the writer to create his or her work.

Now, if you read the paragraph again, you will find two main ideas: the first part is talking about looking at (dreams, the sea...) but you (the reader) is still standing and looking. Nothing more. In contrast, on the second part, the author eagers you to take action - in other words, do not just stand there, passively looking! Move on, step forward decide and enjoy doing with no fear.

What if we take these two ideas to our daily life?

Do you have any dreams? Anything pending to do, but those 'actions' that you would do are only staying in your head? What if you make a decision and go from thoughts to acts?

The theme, then, is reflecting on ideas and desires and then, finding a way to make decisions to let them become acts, real, factual acts that would make a person happy, or to enjoy the actions which, if remained as ideas, would never take place to move forward with their lives.
