English
1 answer:
Pavlova-9 [17]3 years ago
4 0

A foil in literature describes a character who contrasts with another character in order to make comparisons and highlight certain traits between these two persons.

Both Melantho and Eurycleia are servants of Odysseus. While Melantho is unloyal, (sleeping with the suitors while Odysseus is away) and treating him rudely when he returns disguised as a beggar, Eurycleia remains devoted and kind. Melantho is used as a foil for Eurycleia to showcase her good traits.

15. What does Buck often dream of as he sleeps by the campfire? A. His fight with Spitz B. Primitive man C. Judge Miller's home
Bess [88]
I would say the correct answer is B. primitive man.
The point of the entire novel is that Buck is fighting his urges to go to the wilderness and succumb to his wild identity of a wolf. Thus, dreaming about the primitive man clearly portrays his struggle between his two identities, that of a domesticated dog and that of a wild wolf.

Match each narrative point of view to the appropriate set of pronouns.
solong [7]

The answer is:

<h3>First person : I, me, my, mine, we</h3>

The first person point of view allows the reader the see the story through the narrator's eyes, with his or her feelings, motives and inner thoughts.

<h3>Second person : you, your</h3>

The second person point of view is not very often used in fiction. In such cases, the narrator tells the story to the readers by addressing them with the word "you" and making them a character. In this way, readers have the feeling they are involved in the story.

<h3>Third person : he, she, it, they</h3>

In the third person point of view, the story is told by a bodiless narrator who describes the feelings and thoughts of several characters, and the events that occur to them in the story. As a consequence, readers have a wider view of the characters emotions and ideas.
