What might the author be implying in the last line of “The last rung on the ladder”

English
1 answer:
ahrayia [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The last obstacle in the protagonist's journey/story.

Explanation:

Since there isn't much context to the story, I am assuming that "<em>The last rung on the ladder</em>" could either have a literal or figurative meaning. If it's a literal meaning, the character might actually be climbing a ladder and they're about to take the last step (the rung) to get to the top. However, it's more probable that the author means it in a figurative sense. I believe that "<em>The last rung</em>" is referring to a series of conflict in the protagonist's life, and the author refers to the ladder and its rungs as the conflicts.

<em>Protagonist's story</em> - the ladder (as a whole)

<em>Conflicts faced </em>- the rungs of the ladder (hence "<em>The last rung on the ladder</em>"

* Hopefully that made sense :))

The fact that language learning is achieved by typically developing infants across the globe indicates that language is?
Leya [2.2K]

Answer: The first signs of communication occur when an infant learns that a cry will bring food, comfort, and companionship. Newborns also begin to recognize important sounds in their environment, such as the voice of their mother or primary caretaker. As they grow, babies begin to sort out the speech sounds that compose the words of their language. By 6 months of age, most babies recognize the basic sounds of their native language.

Children vary in their development of speech and language skills. However, they follow a natural progression or timetable for mastering the skills of language. A checklist of milestones for the normal development of speech and language skills in children from birth to 5 years of age is included below. These milestones help doctors and other health professionals determine if a child is on track or if he or she may need extra help. Sometimes a delay may be caused by hearing loss, while other times it may be due to a speech or language disorder.
