Instructions:Select the correct text in the passage. Which sentence in this excerpt from Ernest Hemingway's "In Another Country"

RoseWind [281]

Parallelism is the use of the components in a sentence that are the same grammatically or similar in construction, sound or meaning. It is used as a literary device in may works. Examples are "James ran into the garden, into the room and into our hearts.", "Like father, like son.", and "Easy come, easy go." In the excerpt this is the parallelism used "There was much game hanging outside the shops, and the snow powdered in the fur of the foxes and the wind blew their tails."

Which is an example of indirect characterization

Katarina [22]

Remember, INDIRECT characterization is where the author tells you details about the character, and you have to use this information to infer the character's personality. DIRECT characterization is the opposite: where the author specifically tells and describes to you a person's character traits.

Let's look at option A: "Jeff was a kind boy who was always willing to help anyone in need." Already, we know this is NOT indirect characterization: it is DIRECT characterization. Why? The sentence calls Jeff "kind," which is a character trait. We don't need to infer that.

What about B? "Mariana was a chatterbox and could talk for hours about any subject." Here's the key word: "chatterbox." This is more direct characterization.

Let's look at C: "Juan pretended to be sick so that she would not have to go to school." Do you see any direct descriptions of Juan's personality? No! From this, we could infer that Juan is willing to break the rules. Perhaps she's having a hard time at school.

Just to check, look at D. "Iamar was jealous of his older brother Omar, who was a skilled soccer player." This one is a little trickier, because this passage has two characters: Iamar and Omar. But what do we know about Omar? He is "skilled" at soccer. Again, we have direct characterization here, so D isn't correct.

Pick any of the stories/prose fables in Gibran Khalil Gibran’s “The Prophet” and write about the following:

Gwar [14]

Answer:

Selected story: "Love"

1. The author: Gibran Kahlil Gibran: Born in Lebanon in 1883. He came to the United States in 1885 with his mother and brothers. He was a poet, novelist, essayist, philosopher, and painter. He founded and was president of the "Literary League" which was of enormous influence on Arabic literature.

He died in 1931.

2. The country: The country of origin is Lebanon. Most of its population professes Islam. Among the Muslims there are different types: Shiites, Sunnis and Alawites. The rest are Christians, mainly Maronites, and a minority are Druze.

The Lebanese use to go shopping in the city center and stroll with friends along the busy streets. Lebanese normally sit together and interact lively.

Manners are important in this culture. Both foreigners and acquaintances greet each other respectfully, generally using French words like bonjour, bonsoir and pardon.

Hospitality is very important. Travelers to Lebanon are warmly welcomed.

3. The context: The context of this story shows us a wise prophet, Almustafa, who is found on Orphalese Island. He is about to leave his city and the citizens, who loved him very much, ask him to tell stories of his life philosophy before leaving them.

4. Plot summary: The story Love talks about following love, even though it hurts a lot. Love has the power to destroy us, but each person must seek it anyway, since it helps us grow and learn many things that will serve us throughout life.

We cannot control love, just as love cannot control us.

5. Discuss the social issue that the prophet was addressing. What was the issue? : The prophet is giving advice on specific topics throughout the book: love, marriage, children, children, work, pain and joy, clothing, freedom, prayer, dialogue, beauty, pleasure, religion and, finally, death.

In general, the themes of this book are themes that affect most of us equally, but the way it is narrated simply by the prophet is what makes it special.

The issue treated in "Love" is that love will surely hurt us, but we must follow it anyway.

"When love beckons to you, follow him,

Though his ways are hard and steep. "

"For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning."

6. Cultural elements: The cultural elements in this story are:

Learning: "All these things shall love do unto you that you may know the secrets of your heart, and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life’s heart."

Suffering: "So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth.

Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself

He threshes you to make your naked.

He sifts you to free you from your husks.

I've grinds you to whiteness. "

Religion: "He kneads you until you are pliant; And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God’s sacred feast."
