Francine Prose thinks that American High Schools do not teach literary works the way they should. (1) She says that the choice of books is not related to the teen's world of today.  (2) She defends that teens can’t relate to the stories anymore because schools do not teach them the stories, instead, they focus on the author’s life or the background of the book. With that, (3) they leave amazing stories behind, stories which teens would love to hear and to learn about.

Match each paragraph with the correct plot element.
Nookie1986 [14]

Paragraph 3 goes with option a) Exposition. Here, the story is presented as well as its setting, characters and principal conflicts.

Paragraph 5 goes with option b) Rising action. This action takes place as you start moving in the story. Here, conflicts start to appear.

Paragraph 1 goes with c) Climax. At this stage, the story takes a turning point. The plot starts moving in a different way, whether positive or negative.

Paragraph 2 goes with d) Falling action. Falling Action goes into the scene right after the climax did. At this stage, things start to solve by themselves in the story.

Paragraph 4 goes with e) Resolution. Here, the conflict of the story has finally been solved, giving it an end.

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

What the author wants to convey through this paragraph is that, according to her life experience, people's personality and behaviour are influenced by the personality of those members of our family who are directly related to our origins, such as our parents or grandparents. Each one of them have given us something that is characteristic and unique from them, and as though we don't imitate their behaviour or personality, we learn to apply those characteristics according to our own personality.
