What can an author use to speed up the pacing of a story?

English
1 answer:
Naily [24]3 years ago
6 0

To speed up the pacing of a story, an author can use <u>D. Sentences with direct and simple language.</u> To achieve this, the author can tell the story with little or no extraneous information, he or she can use concrete words and short adjectives and adverbs to describe and use active voice instead of passive voice.

For example, let's look at a long and somewhat complicated sentence in the passive voice:

"Yesterday, the little girl with red hair, who was abandoned, was taken care of Alicia, a lady in the age of 45 years".

The same sentence but with a more direct and simple language:

"Yesterday, a 45-years-old Lady, Alicia, took care of the abandoned, red-head little girl".

How might Beowulf and decision to fight
ANEK [815]

Answer:

Beowulf had gone to help King Hrothgar of the Danes to defeat a monster called Grendel who had tormented the kingdom for a long time. He defeated the monster with his bare hands after he discovered his weapons had no effect on him.

Shortly after defeating Grendel the monster, his mother comes for revenge and Beowulf goes after her and also defeats her, but it was an epic battle. After helping the Danes, he was rewarded with a lot of gifts and he went back home to Geats as a hero and was subsequently made their King.

Fifty years later, Beowulf is called to action again and defeats a dragon who mortally wounds him, he dies, is cremated, and a statue is erected for him by the sea.

Beowulf might have failed in his role as King by fighting the dragon because, with his death, his kingdom was defenceless against attacks and possible invasion.

i need help on writing a page on Dr.Shirley Jackson it need to be 3 pargahs longand don' t know how to start it at all
Flauer [41]
Alright, you should need an introduction. 

First of all, the introduction needs to have a grabbing sentence that will interest the reader, and make them want to know MORE. Secondly, you must include a thesis statement in order to inform the readers on what your topic is, and what you will be talking about.

Second of all, the body paragraphs need to include facts and evidence. you must site everything in order to not plagiarize. 

Third of all, the conclusion needs to be at the end, and it needs to restate the thesis.
