<span>As for me
the main theme in Dragonwings is “Family
Separation and Devotion”</span>
This novel
begins with Moon Shadow living in the Middle Kingdom with his mother without
knowledge of the man who is his biological father. Moon Shadow knows stories
his mother has told about his father, but he has never met him because the
financial nature of their country has forced many of the men to move to America
to make the money they need to support their families in the Middle Kingdom. It
is a difficult situation made harder for Moon Shadow's mother when her husband
arranges for the child to join him in America. Moon Shadow's mother is left the
only person strong enough to work the farm, leaving her to struggle without the
support of a man or a son around.
Read this passage.
<em>Comedy is, as we have said, an imitation of characters of a lower type- not, however, in the full sense of the word bad, the ludicrous being merely a subdivision of the ugly. It consists in some defect or ugliness which is not painful or destructive. To take an obvious example, the comic mask is ugly and distorted, but does not imply pain. </em>
Question: What conclusion can <u><em>NOT</em></u> be drawn from the text?
Options:
- A) Comedies tended to focus on ordinary characters of a less noble type.
- B) Characters in a comedy are not necessarily morally bad, so much as physically funny in an exaggerated way.
- C)Comedy is an imitation of an action that is serious.
- D)As the characters of a comedy represent "a lower-type" of person, so the events typically portrayed in comedies tend towards the ordinary affairs of everyday people.
Answer: The correct answer is option: <u>C) Comedy is an imitation of an action that is serious. </u>
Explanation: In the text, it mentions that comedy focuses on characters of a lower type, meaning ordinary and less noble types of characters. It also mentions that they're not in the full sense of the word bad nor destructive but rather ludicrous meaning amusing. However, it never mentions that comedy is an imitation of an action that is serious nor does it define comedy by seriousness.

Answer:
The Pilgrims (Plymouth Colony)
Writing in "The Pilgrims," his personal journals, Bradford William used the third person point of view to veil the narrator-participant as an ordinary observer. This literary device makes the reader to identify with the characters, thus enhancing the story's believability and objectivity. This contrasts with writing from the first or second person's points of view, which shows the narrator's active involvement, thereby increasing subjectivity while obscuring objectivity in story narration.
By writing from this third person point of view, using third person pronouns, William Bradford, separated himself from the plot of the story. Thus, he remained an observer-narrator and not an active participant. At the same time, since it is widely known that Bradford was the founder of the Plymouth Colony, Bradford shows his bias by isolating himself totally from the story, by writing with the third person pronouns.
Explanation:
According to history, William Bradford (1590-1657) was one of the founding fathers of the Plymouth Colony and its governor for 30 years. Single-handedly, Bradford drafted the legal code for the Plymouth Colony which facilitated the building of a Puritan-based community in the state of Massachusetts, one of the 6 New England states.
