He was saying that despite being a famous Army Officer, General Corrigan was a man who never forgot where he came or the people he grew up with. Despite his honors and rank, he was still same kid the narrator knew from many years ago. That fact that he greeted him with such enthusiasm tells a lot about the man behind the rank.
Picnic. frivolity is something that is unnesasary/enjoyable.
The two novels being analyzed are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland written Lewis Carroll and Harry Potter and Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling. Both novels have the main character traveling through a magical world. The adventure does not begin for either character until they enter that fantasy world. The authors of both books do a great job of using humor and fantasy to capture the readers attention. Each novel has its own special qualities, but one argument is for sure, both books are fantasies.
Secondly, the author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland uses humor and fantasy to appeal to both children and adults. This novel would appeal to children because of the many fantasy creatures, such as a talking rabbit, a disappearing cat, and soldiers made out of cards. A child pays more attention to a book when the characters are fantasy creatures.
Answer:
Even though the possible options for revisions were not posted in your question, I believe the best way to correct the sentence is:
Because they were relieved to have survived the arduous journey along the rugged frontier, many settlers were known to kiss the ground upon finally arriving at their destination.
Explanation:
The original sentence did not present a comma between the dependent clause and the independent one. That would have been right if the dependent clause had come after the independent one. That would have been the natural structural order for the sentence. However, that is not the case. The sentence began with the dependent clause - which can be identified by the subordinating conjunction "because". While the normal structure would be "A happened because of B", what we have in this sentence is "because of B, A happened". When we invert the sequence, we should use a comma to separate the clauses. For that reason, the best way to correct the sentence is by adding a comma between the words "frontier" and "many":
Because they were relieved to have survived the arduous journey along the rugged frontier, many settlers were known to kiss the ground upon finally arriving at their destination.
Great job, though I think you should change it up a bit more if you want it that way.
