Answer:

"Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom is an autobiographical story of Mitch and how he used to have regular Tuesday meetings with his old college professor. Mitch referred to this 'class' as "A last Class" as it most probably will be the last of his professor's life as he's suffering from ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis)

Explanation:

Mitch's book is all about the life class that he's taking from his old professor who's suffering from Lou Gehrg's disease or popularly known as ALS. This disease destroys the neurons that control the voluntary muscles. He is the student, "player" while Morrie Albom is the professor, 'Coach", just like in college.  And it will most probably be his last class with Mitch as he is going to die. It is a memoir of his days with him, and his respect for him and the wisdom he imparts to his former student.

What is significant about the set up of the book is that it gives detailed notes and thoughts on the discourse about life between the former student and his professor, representative of a class lecture, the notes neatly and carefully put in according to the dates and the detailed listing of the lessons and the 'chapter' names. The book represents the class notes that students take down from their professor's lectures, and the last class of his professor, telling him about the uselessness of material things in life that will only be nothing when one dies. It is representative of a teacher-student interaction, even though both had already been adults with successful careers.

For the answer to the question above, the last class of my old professor's life took place once a week in his house, by a window in the study where he could watch a small hibiscus plant shed its pink leaves. The class met on Tuesdays. It began after breakfast. The subject was The Meaning of Life. It was taught from experience. It took place in <span>Morrie's little house right outside of Boston.</span>

4. Why is a prisoner shot while the factories are being bombed? The book night
mina [271]

The prisoner is shot because the act of shooting a prisoner is near instantaneous. The action has no duration that would justify the use of the present participle, unless it were an order that had been given and were still to be carried out. Bombing raids over the third reich could go on for hours at a time and be carried on over consecutive nights, so the factories are being bombed. Think of it like this, the decision to shoot the prisoner could be taken, the order given and carried out - and even the mess probably cleaned up - but still during all this while the factories could quite feasibly have been being bombed, continuously, and without respite. Eventually the factories would either cease to exist altogether, or the bombing would cease and the shell-like structures would have simply been bombed.

Hope I can help!

The setting must be described vividly to appeal to the blank​
sineoko [7]

Answer:

The setting must be described vividly to appeal to the <u><em>senses</em></u>.

Explanation:

The setting of any literary text refers to the geographical location or the time of the event. This means that the setting tells us about the place or the period of the events in the story.

While most literary devices help the readers in imagining the scenes and tell us about the events of the story, the setting is also one such device. It allows the readers to know the circumstances of the story, and where they happened.

Thus, the setting must be vividly described to appeal to the readers' senses.
