1 answer:

5 0

The characters' relationship to the carp changes over the course of Wang's poem, "The Carp." At the beginning of the poem, before the father is beaten and imprisoned, the characters view the carp in a positive way. The day the speaker was born, we are told her father caught a 20-pound carp. At this point, the characters view the carp as a good omen, a sign of blessing. By the end of the poem, fishing for carp no longer makes the father happy, because now carp remind him of pain and suffering. At the end of the poem, the father only catches small fish. Over the course of the poem, the characters' relationship to the carp changes, moving from a positive relationship to a negative one. That is because the carp comes to symoblize suffering and injustice.

Part C Think about what you’ve learned about Framton Nuttel and Vera. Recall what you know about round, flat, static, and dynami

atroni [7]

Answer:

Vera, Saki's mischievious protagonist, is indeed a dynamic, or round, character who exhibits several traits. For one thing, she is a perspicacious young lady who is able to identify people's vulnerabilities and seize upon details surrounding her in order to weave a convincing tale that will deceive her audience. She, also, can quickly adapt her fabrications to the next person or situation as her spontaneous response to Mrs. Stappleton's inquiry about Nuttel's bizarre reaction when she has announced the return of her family. Certainly, Vera enjoys exploiting the weaknesses in others with her subtle and clever practical jokes.

Framton Nuttel is the nervous, insecure type. He worries about Mrs. Sappleton's reception of him when he is introduced, and he is uncomfortable throughout the telling of Vera's tale.

Match the definition to the word. 1. a thing that represents itself and something else]a. symbolb. imageryc. metaphord. metonymy

mojhsa [17]

A thing that represents itself and something else – symbol. An example would be the dove, or the colour white, symbolizing peace.
One thing IS another – metaphor. What distinguishes the metaphor from the simile is that the metaphor is directly introducing the imagery in the text without a comparison word. An example would be: "he is such a pig."
One thing is like another – simile. The simile introduces the comparison with a word such as "like" or "as." "He eats like an ogre" could be an example.
Mental pictures created through descriptions which appeal to the senses – imagery. In literature, the purpose of imagery is to enrich the text by enabling the reader to picture elements of it in their mind.
Use of one word in place of another word associated with it – metonymy. A common type of metonymy is the designation of something by where it is contained, for example "the White House" for the President's administration.
A word which imitates a sound – onomatopoeia. Such as woof, crack, bang.
Exaggeration – hyperbole.
Apparent contradiction – paradox.
Repetition of initial consonant sounds – alliteration. This is often used in poetry, but also in prose, to help the reader imagine the sounds of the scene which is being described (like lots of Ls when writing about water, or Ss when writing about a snake).
