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 :))

So my teacher want us to write a story and have grammar in it too but I’m not much of a writer and not sure how to write it out.
vredina [299]

Answer:

1. Loose vs. lose

This one drives a lot of people crazy, including me.

In fact, it’s so prevalent among bloggers that I once feared I was missing something, and somehow “loose” was a proper substitute for “lose” in some other English-speaking countries. Here’s a hint: it’s not.

If your pants are too loose, you might lose your pants.

2. Me, myself, and I

One of the most common causes of grammatical pain is the choice between “me” and “I.”

Too often people use “I” when they should use “me.” Since “I” sounds stilted and proper, it must be right, right? Nope.

The easy way to get this one right is to simply remove the other person from the sentence and then do what sounds correct.

You would never say “Give I a call,” so you also wouldn’t say “Give Chris and I a call.” Don’t be afraid of me.

And whatever you do, don’t punt and say “myself” because you’re not sure whether “me” or “I” is the correct choice. “Myself” is only proper in two contexts, both of which are demonstrated below.

Many consider Chris a punk, but I myself tolerate him. Which brings me to ask myself, why?
