Answer and Explanation:

<u>Dramatic irony is related to a situation in which the audience knows and understands something that the characters themselves don't.</u> In the epic poem "The Odyssey", the main character and hero Odysseus finally arrives home after years journeying back from the war in Troy, but his palace has been taken over by suitors trying to marry his wife. Odysseus is then disguised as a beggar by the goddess Athena.<u> This is an example of dramatic irony because no one knows that beggar is in fact the owner of that palace, not even his own son and wife. Odysseus, a wealthy, brave man appears to the characters completely changed when it comes to his looks. But his heart and mind are the same, and he soon claims his island and family back</u>.

Note: Since you only need two or three sentences, feel free to ignore or change the summary in the middle of the answer.

Answer:

In fiction, ‘internal conflict’ refers to a character’s internal struggle. A character might struggle with an emotional problem such as fear of intimacy or abandonment, for example. Internal conflict is important for characterization, since flaws and internal struggles make characters more lifelike and sympathetic.

External conflict, on the other hand, refers to the conflicts between a character and external forces. This type of conflict can be between one character and another or a group (or between groups of characters). It can also be between a character and more abstract forces. For example, a bleak and hostile environment in a post-apocalyptic novel.

Both types of conflict, internal and external, are useful because they create:

Tension: Because of conflict’s uncertainty, we want to know how it resolves and keep turning pages to find out

Stakes: Conflict suggests worst-case outcomes and makes resolution urgent (the hero must overcome the antagonist/environment or themselves ‘or else…’)

Character development: Conflict allows for dramatic incidents and confrontations that test characters and cause them to learn and adapt

So how do you use external and internal conflict to develop characters

Why might an author include dialect In a story? Check all that apply.
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The reasons why an author might include dialect in a story are:

A. to allude to a character's regional background

C. to add to the cultural context of a story's setting

D. to allude to a character's social background

E. to create a more genuine dialogue between characters

Explanation:

A dialect is a variety of language used in a specific area or by a specific group. It is quite common for authors to use dialect in their stories, and there are many reasons for that.

For instance, in Zora Neale Hurston's works, dialect is used to represent the way the characters sound, which is directly connected to their cultural and social backgrounds. Her characters are African Americans who live in rural areas in the south. Many of them may not have had access to higher levels of formal education. Dialect also helps their dialogues sound more genuine, as if a real conversation had been recorded and transcribed. Had Hurston chosen to use formal language in her books, her characters would have been much less realistic and believable.
