How are "Barrio Boy" and "No Gumption" similar

1 answer:

6 0

They are both written in first person, they share conflicts. First, in similarity, they lived in close time periods (both lived in 20th century) and were very poor. They went through a lot of struggle but in the end they achieved a lot. They both share similar conflicts. These are both memoir stories written in first person and talk about being young children.

In difference, No Gumption is about a boy who delivers newspapers to help support his family and to learn how to have a job. His mother wants him to have gumption so he won't end up the way his father was. In Barrio Boy, it is about an immigrant who goes to school and learns English. I don't think the story ever talks about him getting a job.

Give three examples of Guy de Maupassant's naturalistic style of presenting characters and plot and show why they are naturalist

Lunna [17]

Guy de Maupassant's work are deemed naturalistic because his characters are usually the working class and they are often portrayed in a very harsh conditions of real life where misery is prevalent.

Majority of his themes are about war and German occupation. His stories focus more on women, especially those who are victims and prostitutes. A lot of his stories also focus of depression, paranoia, and madness usually resulting to death and destruction.

Hey man, how is it going? Hope you're doing great.

You remember I told you I would be graduating from Secondary School next week, right? Well, Secondary School was fun, it was a real learning phase and now I'm ready for the next stage of my life.

I'm writing to you, to appreciate you for your support all these years and how you have stood by me and contributed positively to my life most especially during my stint as the Library Prefect which I held for nine months. You were always helping me keep the library safe and organized, so much to the extent that my assistant library prefect got jealous and angry because you literally took her job from her, hehe.

Thank you for all the memories, even though I'm yet to forgive you for pranking me last month, but I hope our friendship will be forever.

Lots of love,

Christian Kumwha.

What are some example of imagery in the cask of amontillado

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Hi tae here!

Explanation:

In “The Cask of Amontillado,” Edgar Allen Poe uses many examples of imagery, such as the descriptions of the carnival, characters, the walk through the catacombs, and much more throughout the story to build suspense and intrigue for the readers and add to the mystery of Montresor’s underlining actions of the revenge and deception of the foolish Fortunado. By using descriptive words and phrases to help us imagine the characters and setting the readers are drawn further into the suspense.

hope this helps
