Answer:

The author's use of repetition in Paragraph 12 and 21 emphasis that how Rachel feels about her birthday.

Explanation:

'Eleven' is a short story written by Sandra Cisneros. The story is about a young girl named Rachel, who's turned eleven. On her eleventh birthday, she had bad experience in Maths class, when Mrs Price forced Rachel to wear a sweater not owned by her but someone else.

In Paragraph 12 and Paragraph 21, Rachel repeats the fact that her mother is making her birthday cake that night and when her father would be home, they will cut the cake and sing birthday melody. The repetition used by the author emphasizes that how Rachel feels about her birthday, which is being ruined by one of her class teacher. This repetition also gives an insight into Rachel's mind.

Compare Mr. White's feelings about the monkey's paw when he makes the first wish,
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

His attitude in making all three wishes reveal that he had changed from being expectant (first wish) to being scared (second and third wish).

Explanation:

The short story "The Monkey's Paw" by W. W. Jacobs evolve around the wish-granting item of a monkey's paw that was acquired by Mr. White, the protagonist of the story. The story delves into the themes of myth, superstition, greed, and death.

After acquiring the monkey's paw from Sergeant-Major Morris, Mr. White did not really have any belief in the story of the wish-granting ability. But pressurized by his wife and son, he decided to "test" the charm and wished for <em>"two hundred pounds"</em> so that they can pay off the mortgage for the house. He was at first skeptical about the wish coming true but when he got the right amount, though, at the cost of his son's life, he began to get scared.

His second wish was to bring his son back, again after being pressurized by his wife. To him, the first wish was <em>"A c-c-coincidence"</em> and even stated <em>"It is foolish and wicked"</em> to wish for another thing, that too, for his son to be brought back alive after the gruesome way he died. And when the knocking started, he was petrified for what was to be at the door. The line <em>'"A rat,” said the old man shakily – "a rat. It passed me on the stairs."' </em>reveals the real nature of the old man when he hears the knocking at the door.

And then, after realizing that it was probably their dead son coming alive again, Mr. White<em> "was on his hands and knees feeling around wildly on the floor in search of the paw"</em> so that he can make his third wish and make <em>"the thing"</em> at the door go away. The very nature of addressing whoever/ whatever was at the door as<em> "the thing"</em> suggests that whatever was there is something that isn't natural. Mr. White's frantic reaction and wish to make the knocking stop shows his scared reaction to the wishes he had made.

Which is the most precise and concise way to rewrite the following sentence from "A Fable" by Mark Twain?
svlad2 [7]

<span>A.) The subject was dropped, but it was clear that it would be brought up again.</span>

<span>
</span>

The first sentence is the most exact and the most precise because of how the idea is communicated in least amount of words possible.  It is important to keep in mind that when you are writing something that comprehension always goes down the more words there are in a sentence.  Thus, it is always best to communicate with the fewest words possible.  Let’s take a look at another example.  Say you are at a baseball game and a fly ball is coming directly toward you without your knowledge, and the person sitting next to you tries to warn you by saying the following:  “Because of the velocity of a baseball coming in your direction and the potential damage it may cause if it comes into contact with your head because you are not wearing a helmet and because ambulance rides as well as emergency room visits are not fun nor cheap, you should probably seek to get out of the way as soon as possible.”  How would that work?  Now, compare that to the more exact/precise sentence of “Duck!”  See how that works?
