What sentence signals a plot twist about halfway through what of this goldfish would you wish
egoroff_w [7]

This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

Which sentence signals a plot twist about halfway through the story?

“The kid with the earring starts screaming, ‘Goldfish, goldfish.'”

“‘No reason to take him to the hospital anyway,' says the goldfish.”

“Sergei . . . tells the kid, it's nothing, just a regular goldfish.”

“Sergei understands the boy . . . came . . . to snatch Sergei's fish.”

Answer:

The correct answer is “‘No reason to take him to the hospital anyway,' says the goldfish.”

Explanation:

A plot twist is a radical and unexpected turn of events that occurs suddenly for the viewer and that has enough relevance to change the fate of the protagonists of the narrative who suffer from it.

In short, and in simpler words, a plot twist takes place when there is an event that no one expected and that makes a 180 degree turn to what had happened previously.

In this case, it would be the fact that Sergei does not want to use his last wish because he does not want to let the goldfish go free.

Hope is the thing with feathers
Bingel [31]

Emily Dickinson is world renown among poets and those who love literature for her emphasis on both thought and feeling.

She is considered a master of form and syntax and is often called 'a poet of paradox'.

Generally speaking her poems tend to be short and they usually use only one voice (which is not necessarily that of the poet). She published well over 1800 poems of which only a handful of them were titled as is the case of the poem listed here.

Notice her use of form and paradox in referring to hope as a thing with feathers, something that never asks for anything in return.
