Answer:

The statement which best describes the literary form of "The Lady, or the Tiger" is:

D. It is a political allegory because it comments on leadership and government.

Explanation:

The short story "The Lady, or the Tiger?" by American author and humorist Frank Richard Stockton is an allegory, which means it uses symbols to convey a bigger message referring to the real world. T<u>hroughout the story, many symbols can be found and, among them, the king seems to serve as a reference to government and leadership.</u>

<u>The narrator describes the king as being semi-barbaric. That means he is selfish, impulsive, irrational. He is knowledgeable enough to come with something he considers to be a fair trial, but barbaric enough to condemn people on a matter of luck or fate. </u>

<u>Stockton seems to use this character of his to expose, in an allegorical manner, the unfairness and inequality perpetuated in society by our leaders.</u> Being in government does not necessarily mean a person is smarter, truer, or fairer. As a matter of fact, they may very well not have any of those qualities, but may have gotten there through connections and wealth. No wonder some leaders are often disqualified to serve their people, not worrying about or working for any improvements in education, health, employment, social issues, etc.

The difference between point of view and choice of person in a story is that _____.
dybincka [34]

Answer:

The difference between point of view and choice of person in a story is that “point of view” refers to the perspective from which the story is told; “person” is part of a term used to describe a type of narrator (as in first-person or third-person)

Using points of view means that an author chooses one or several characters' perspectives to narrate the events of the story from their own experiences, observations and opinions.

On the other hand, the choice of person is the one that the author uses to narrate the story: first-person, "I or "we"; second-person, "you"; or third-person, "he", "she" or "it").

For instance, George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire has several points of view and all of his characters' storylines are narrated in third-person.

According to both whitman and dickinson what is the character of nature
romanna [79]

I think they saw nature in a spiritual way as the collective "Over-soul" of all the souls that create and reside in every form in creation. That means that very soul is one with and is the Over-soul, which some call God, but Dickinson and Whitman may have thought that word had to much connections to organized religion which has a different definition than they had.
