Read the excerpt from “A Jury of Her Peers” by Susan Glaspell. Which stage of the plot structure does this event represent?
s2008m [1.1K]

The excerpt from "A Jury of Her Peers" by Susan Glaspell narrates an event that represents, concerning the stage of the plot structure, C) Climax.

The <em>climax,</em> in a narrative, is <em>a literary element that expresses the turning point of the story; a moment of tension or drama when the action starts or develops itself.</em> It can be understood from this excerpt that the event narrated represents the climax of the story. <em>"With a rush forward, she threw back the quilt pieces, got the box, tried to put it in her handbag (...) Desperately she opened it, started to take the bird out. But there she broke—she could not touch the bird"</em>. This passage presents a <em>moment of tension</em> in which a <em>problem or unsolved situation</em> appears. The sentence <em>"There was the sound of a knob turning in the inner door"</em> creates even <em>more tension</em> and takes the reader to a moment of <em>interest and excitement</em>. The excerpt ends with the character of Martha hiding a box inside her coat from the county attorney. <em>"Mrs. Hale's hand was against the pocket of her coat"</em>, the author says at the end of the excerpt, <em>maintaining the climax unsolved and the tension unbroken</em>. So, the correct answer would be C) Climax.

The correct answer couldn't be <em>A) Exposition</em> because an exposition is a technique that consists of <em>the presentation of background information within a story.</em> It could be <em>historical context, prior plot events, characters' backstories</em> etc. This excerpt <em>doesn't bring any additional information</em> to the plot, so, the correct answer couldn't be A.

The correct answer couldn't be <em>B) Resolution</em> because the resolution in a narrative is when <em>everything is solved and there is a closure</em>. This excerpt <em>doesn't bring a conclusion or closure</em> to the plot, hence, the correct answer couldn't be B.

The correct answer couldn't be<em> D) Falling action </em>because the falling action occurs <em>right after the climax and leads the plot to its closure</em>. It is when the <em>main problem or tension resolves itself</em>. This excerpt<em> doesn't convey a solution to the problem or tension</em>, on the contrary, <em>the tension maintains itself</em>. Thus, the correct answer couldn't be D.

how is the theme to the narrator's power and superiority over the natives only an illusion developed in the story
zzz [600]

Answer:

  • The narrator claims payment of fines over an incident with his piglets’ tails, but the villagers refuse to pay.
  • The narrator thinks he is in control of the situation, but he is repeatedly tricked by the villagers.
  • The narrator’s wealth immediately establishes his authority over the villagers, but the villagers do not respect him.

Explanation:

According to a different source, this question refers to the story "In a Native Village" by Louis Becke.

These are the options that come with this question:

  • The narrator claims payment of fines over an incident with his piglets’ tails, but the villagers refuse to pay.
  • The narrator bribes the authorities to ensure that he has power and preference over the villagers.
  • The narrator thinks he is in control of the situation, but he is repeatedly tricked by the villagers.
  • The narrator’s wealth immediately establishes his authority over the villagers, but the villagers do not respect him.
  • The narrator establishes a series of declarations and rules to assert authority over the villagers.

In this story, we learn about the experiences of a European man in an island off the coast of Australia. This man arrived to the village with a couple of prized pigs. This, as well as his wealth, is meant to establish him as a leader in the community. However, contrary to expectations, the men in the island do not respect him. Moreover, they constantly trick him and take advantage of him. This shows that the narrator's power over the natives is only an illusion.

How did you react to the revelation that Vladek and Anja had been trapped? Were you
Juli2301 [7.4K]

The revelation that Vladeck and Anja were under arrest is shocking to the reader, as the story creates hope that they will manage to escape without being arrested.

Although you have not shown the text to which this question refers, we can see from the context of the question that you are referring to "Maus" by Art Spiegelman , a biographical graphic novel, which recounts the journey of Vladeck and Anja, two Polish Jews who survived the holocaust.

Reading the graph novel reveals the following information:

  • Jews gradually lost rights and freedoms.
  • Anja and Vladeck, suffered all these losses, reaching the point where they needed to stay hidden to avoid being arrested and taken to concentration camps.
  • The hiding places were too dangerous.
  • Anja and Vadeck received an offer to travel to Hungary with a middleman, as Hungary had not been invaded by Nazi forces.
  • The middleman was working alongside the Nazis and tricked Vladeck and Anja.
  • At the beginning of the trip to Hungary, the middleman informed the Nazis that Vladeck and Anja were on the train.
  • At that point, they were arrested and taken to concentration camps.

During the reading, the reader is apprehensive about the persecution that Anja and Vladeck suffer and creates an empathy for them, reaching the point that the reader wants them to manage to flee to Hugria. In this case, when they are arrested the reader is surprised, as they are surprised and saddened, as they had proof that the middleman was a trustworthy person and that the trip was safe.
