Answer:

"The Wedding Gift" by Marlen Suyapa Bodden revolves around the life of a woman named Clarissa and her 'wedding gift' slave from her father. And one of the main themes in this story is that of slavery and how discriminatory or inferior the slaves were treated in the South parts of America.

Explanation:

Marlen Suyapa Bodden's "The Wedding Gift," tells the story of how a woman named Clarissa and her 'wedding gift slave "Sarah" who turned out to be her half-sister, a product of their father's secret sexual affair with his slave Emmeline. This story delves into the issue of slavery in the American South, the positions of slaves and their hardships and the issue of class/ belonging among different races, and also especially on the 'inferiority' of the female gender compared to the males.

<u>One dominant issue in the story is that of slavery</u>. This is seen in the lives, the different lives of the two sisters Clarissa and Sarah. While Clarissa, as a white woman, is an accepted daughter of Allen and have full access to her father's world, Sarah, on the other hand, is just a small slave girl who is passed on like a piece of property. She was given by Allen to Clarissa as a wedding gift, and when her husband divorced her, she remained a part of Clarissa's 'belongings' that she takes along with her wherever her life leads.

Which quotation from the excerpt best contributes to the setting of this narrative?
Ierofanga [76]

I believe the correct answer is: "Beyond a bare, weather-worn wall, about a hundred paces from the spot where the two friends sat looking and listening as they drank their wine, was the village of the Catalans."

 

     In this excerpt from the novel “The Count Monte Cristo”, written by Alexander Dumas, the quotation that best contributes to the setting of the narrative is:

     "Beyond a bare, weather-worn wall, about a hundred paces from the spot where the two friends sat looking and listening as they drank their wine, was the village of the Catalans."


     The setting of the narrative represents the place where narrative is being unfolded – its surroundings, position. This quotation is the best contribution to the setting as it describes the place where the story begins (beyond a bare, weather-worn wall, hundred paces from the spot… the village of the Catalan).

How does this scene set the tone of the book? Fire from the Rock
DochEvi [55]
The tone of Lord of the Flies is fairly aloof, creating a sense of removal from the events. The boys on the island generally treat each other with a lack of sympathy, and, similarly, the overall tone of the book expresses neither shock nor sympathy toward what happens. Events such as the deaths of Simon and Piggy are related in matter-of-fact detail: “Piggy fell forty feet and landed on his back across the square red rock in the sea. His head opened, and stuff came out and turned red.” The tone here is resigned, expressing no surprise at the violent death of one of the main characters. The sense is that the deaths are as inevitable as the tide: “Then the sea breathed again in a long, slow sigh, the water boiled white and pink over the rock; and when it went, sucking back again, the body of Piggy was gone.” By focusing on the natural world in the immediate aftermath of the death, instead of the boys, Golding distances the reader from the emotion of the scene, but his precise details about what Piggy’s broken body looks like impart a sense of horror and disgust.

Throughout the novel, Golding’s tone suggests the island itself is as responsible for what happens as the boys. Golding’s tone when describing nature is anxious and distrustful. He personifies nature as a violent, vengeful force. The heat becomes “a blow that (the boys) ducked.” The trees rub together “with an evil speaking.” The tide is a “sleeping leviathan” and the sea boils “with a roar.” Clouds “squeezed, produced moment by moment this close, tormenting heat.” Evening comes, “not with calm beauty but with the threat of violence.” The boys are presented as almost as vulnerable to the forces of nature as to each other, sustaining the tone of justified fear. Nature is a destructive force that elicits the boys’ most savage natures. Their growing discomfort and unease with the effects of nature, as expressed by Ralph’s disgust at his filthy clothes, overgrown hair, and unbrushed teeth, heighten the tone of anxiety.
