Question

(from "The Eclipse," by James Fenimore Cooper, 1836)

Answer 1

Answer:

The author will tell the story of the eclipse.

Explanation:

After the author has provided the background surrounding the occurrence of the eclipse it is expected that he will now go into the details of the eclipse and the events that accompanied it. When writers write texts, they first whet the appetite and interest of the reader about a particular event before going into extensive details of the text.

This is what the writer does in this text by first informing the reader of the day the event occurred and how he moved to his parent's house where there was a clearer picture of the eclipse. After this introduction, he will tell the story of the eclipse.
