Answer:

Oliver peered through the cracked glass, transfixed on the rain pouring down from the heavens above. Even through the heavy rain, Oliver could hear the distant ringing of a bell and water sloshing around as cars drove by on the narrow roads. It had been fifteen years since Oliver had lost his owner. Fifteen years of little to no food, no love, no safety, and no rest. He had grown into an old, mangy cat that was unwanted and ignored by all. Not even the rats that scavenged in the sewers paid attention. That is, all but one in particular. One day, when the sun was shining and the streets were dry, a mouse named Lilly scurried across the alley floor adorned with garlands of flowers. The flowers were a fresh, and vibrant yellow. So vibrant that they caught Oliver's eye.Oliver quickly scrambled from the ledge from which he was perched on, and leaped over the peculiar little mouse. The mouse displayed no sign of fear, even though a predator was staring her dead in the eye. The rat looked up, innocently at Oliver and asks, "Good day sir, I was wondering if you had any cheese to share." Oliver mockingly replied, "no you silly little rat! I have not any cheese, let alone scraps!" (I WILL CONTINUE THIS STORY IN A LITTLE WHILE)

Answer:

Literary theories are used to analyse texts, sometimes these literary theories come from other fields of study, such as psychology.

Structuralism

This literary theory has borrowed main concepts from the linguist Ferdinand DeSassure. They established that the world is organized in system of signs, and when trying to find the meaning of a text, one should focus on the signs (words) that appear more often.

Binary oppositions, are dichotomies that can be found throughout a text (such as, love vs hate, life vs death); Structuralist believed that by identifying these binaries, the meaning of the text could be clearly found.

Furthermore, they believed that signs were made up of two components:

A) Signifier = The dictionary definition of a word. (sign)

B) Signified = The mental representation of a word (sign)

Bearing this dual nature of signs, establishing the actual meaning of a sign can be tricky, because they are arbitrary, that is, I may have a mental representation of the word "bank" and you may have another (I could be thinking of a place to sit, and you of a monetary institution)

The main objective of structuralism when analysing a text was that of identifying signs in order to find the meaning of the text.

2. Post Colonialism

This literary theory aims at analysing how oppressed cultures are (mis)represented in texts that were produced during or after a period of colonization.

They focus the analysis in the construction of the marginalized "other", and how the latter is forced to assume that identity. One of the main objectives of this literary theory consist of questioning the nature and hierarchy of binary oppositions, by trying to find a third term (for example, in the binary "black vs white" grey would be the hybrid or third term). This would show that identifying the meaning of a text was not as simple as Structuralists believed.

3. Formalism

This is one of the first literary theories that emerged and it is a sort of umbrella term that covers several other literary theories (like new historicism).

This perspective claims that in order to find the meaning of a text one should focus on the FORM of the text rather than on the CONTENT. Moreover, they believed that a text could be analysed objectively and scientifically. As a result, they would inspect each word, literary device, structure, rhyming patterns, in order to find the meaning of the text.

Texts were analysed in isolation, that is, without taking into account the life of the author and/or the context of production.

Grade 5 plz help questions A. And B.

I'm assuming an article is not a part of speech. Next, I'm going to go with v, as there are no contractions or abbreviations in bacteria. For 3, they are both organisms, and that is a noun, so A. For Part B, "The death of an animal means life for fungi because as fungi decompose the organic material from the animal, they also consume nutrients from it." Hope this helped.
