Hyphen

The hyphen is a punctuation mark used to show the important connection between words or parts of words. The hyphen is used to indicate compound adjectives placed before nouns such as “well-rounded individual.” The hyphen is used to indicate fractions such as “three-fifths.” The hyphen is used to indicate certain numbers as in “forty-two.” The hyphen is used with all “self” words such as “self-confident.” And, the hyphen is used to break words at syllables if appearing at the end of a line on a page such as how a hyphen would be placed between the two “g’s” of “bigger” if bigger were to end a line and it needed to be split for the sake of space on a page.

Literacy, What are the high and lower points in literacy history?

Andreas93 [3]

Explanation:

Literacy in its broadest sense describes "particular ways of thinking about and doing reading and writing"[1] with the purpose of understanding or expressing thoughts or ideas in written form in some specific context of use.[2] In other words, humans in literate societies have sets of practices for producing and consuming writing, and they also have beliefs about these practices.[3] Reading, in this view, is always reading something for some purpose; writing is always writing something for someone for some particular ends.[4] Beliefs about reading and writing and its value for society and for the individual always influence the ways literacy is taught, learned, and practiced over the lifespan.[5]

Some researchers suggest that the history of interest in the concept of “literacy” can be divided into two periods. Firstly is the period before 1950, when literacy was understood solely as alphabetical literacy (word and letter recognition). Secondly is the period after 1950, when literacy slowly began to be considered as a wider concept and process, including the social and cultural aspects of reading and writing,[6] and functional literacy (Dijanošić, 2009).[7]

Which scenario is an example of a theme for a story

Olenka [21]

Answer:

Good always triumphs over evil in the end

Explanation:

According to the Dictionary of Literary Terms and Literary Theory, “the theme of a work is not its subject but rather its central idea, which may be stated directly or indirectly. For example, the theme of Othello is jealousy.”

There could be one or more themes in a story. To understand the idea, one could ask, what is the story trying to talk about, or what is/are the underlying message/s or concept/s or idea/s that is/are being put forward or portrayed through various characters and instances?

In light of this, let us examine each statement carefully.

Dorothy is a dreamer who wants to see other places

This statement essentially talks about the character, Dorothy, and not the idea of the story.

Bilbo goes on a journey and becomes a hero

This statement talks about what happens with one of the characters of the text, or the story of the character, which is also not the theme, as it is hard to say what the central idea of the story could be.

The story takes place in a dark, dense forest

This is clearly the setting of the story, describing the location where the story unfolds.

Good always triumphs over evil in the end

This statement could be the central idea of a story, or its underlying message, and can be portrayed in numerous ways. Hence, this could be an example of a theme for a story.

Note: However, it is important to note that the moral of the story isn’t necessarily its theme. The theme could very be any other idea regardless of whether that is also the moral of the story.
