Answer:

A. Setting

B. deux ex machina

C. Satire

D. Etymology

E. Characterization

Explanation:

Setting does not only refer to the place where the story or event occurred, it also refers to the time period and sometimes the mood as well. It helps to establish the circumstances in which the event had occurred. It also support reasons to as to why events unfolded the way they did.

Deux ex machina means "god from the machine", coined by the Greeks. As a literary device, it is when a character or an event is introduced to resolve the conflict of the story, when the story seems unsolvable. People debate whether this is a good literary device, as it seems like a last-ditch attempt of the writer to bring out a happy ending. Although, this device works well as a comedic twist.

Satire is a literary device that highlights the faults, short-comings, or vices of humans. The intent of the use of this literary device is to shame individuals or groups, by ridiculing their follies, as an attempt to improve them.

Etymology is the study of the history of words and how it has changed over time. It studies how words were derived or where they were derived from, tracing it back to the earliest period it was first used or when it occurred first.

Characterization is a literary deviced used to introduce a character. The author could directly describe the character as an introduction, describing their physical features and demeanor. The characters can also be described through the perspective of the character themselves, or even through other characters or interactions within the story.

1. A theme of “The Break” is that with selflessness comes great rewards. How do Faizula Turner’s actions and interactions develo
Hitman42 [59]

         From the beginning this passage talked about Faizula doing things for other people, not really looking for anything in return. He didn’t want to bother the person behind him by leaning his seat back, let other people go ahead even though he didn’t really want to. For a while it didn’t seem like he would catch a break but when he was nice to the guy selling roses, and he saw how it impacted him, all his niceness payed off.

        I think the roses in the story represent the beauty that can come out of one kind act. It sounds cheesy but, in the story, it talked about how Faizula felt good about giving the man a smile and extra money, even though the whole day he was being kind to no avail. The man was trying to sell the roses to many people but each one shot him down, then when Faizula changed his mind and bought one it changed the man’s whole mood, and in a way gave him hope.

         Faiula’s culture influences the story by creating a sort of guideline we know he must follow. Not only should one be always kind but self-disciplinary. He showed self-discipline when he didn’t break his fast and chose to focus on his work. Through out the story he was consistent with his actions and thoughts and that emphasizes how good of a person he really is.
