Answer:
The above excerpt is a good example of the many storytelling devices used in 1001 Nights except surprise ending.
Explanation:
<u>The excerpt we are analyzing here does have elements of repetition, dialogue and recurring theme. However, it is not a good example of surprise ending, and the reason for that is very simple. </u>Take a look at how the excerpt ends:
<em>The porter was so dazzled he could hardly believe that he heard her aright, but he shouldered his basket in hot haste, saying in himself, "O day of good luck! O day of Allah's grace!" and walked after her till she stopped at the door of a house.</em>
<u>This is not a proper ending. As a matter of fact, this is the beginning of the story. Readers are left expecting, wondering what happens to the porter and the mysterious woman once they reach that door.</u> It might very well be that the story does have an interesting ending, but we are analyzing the excerpt only. And the excerpt does not have an ending whatsoever.
Answer:
True.
Explanation:
The given statement asserts a true claim. The connotation is defined as the implied or suggested meaning of a word apart from its literal or surface meaning. It is primarily characterized as the individual's emotional or personal reaction evoked by a specific word or phrase on the basis of his/her cultural association. For example, if the author uses a word 'home', its literal meaning is 'one's dwelling place' but the possible connotations of the word would be 'a place full of affections, warmth, love, and security' as it evokes a personal attachment that one feels towards home. Thus, the assertion is true.
