Answer:

Part A: c). Pacing

Part B: d). To build tension

Explanation:

Part A

Pacing is characterized as the literary device in which the author opts for a certain pace/speed to unfold the story in order to prevent the readers from being bored due to the length of the story. In the given excerpt, the author <u>employs 'pacing' as he begins with a brief informative sentence '...then I heard' and this action is immediately stopped and the pace of the story is slowed down using a lengthy 'complex-compound' sentence</u>. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

Part B

The key purpose for which the author employs 'pacing' is 'to build tension.' The excerpt <u>begins with a strange detail regarding the 'vibrations of the chain.' This action is immediately frozen in order to get involved in his own psychological problems('hearken to it with the more satisfaction, I ceased my labors and sat down upon the bones')</u>. This develops tension in the readers' minds <u>by leaving them uncertain about what would happen next</u>. Thus, <u>option d</u> is the correct answer.

nignag [31]

Such was the impact of poet Ingrid Jonker that decades after her death in 1965, the late Nelson Mandela read her poem, The Child who Was Shot Dead by Soldiers at Nyanga, at the opening of the first democratic Parliament on 24 May 1994.

“The time will come when our nation will honour the memory of all the sons, the daughters, the mothers, the fathers, the youth and the children who, by their thoughts and deeds, gave us the right to assert with pride that we are South Africans, that we are Africans and that we are citizens of the world,” he said 20 years ago.

“The certainties that come with age tell me that among these we shall find an Afrikaner woman who transcended a particular experience and became a South African, an African and a citizen of the world. Her name is Ingrid Jonker. She was both a poet and a South African. She was both an Afrikaner and an African. She was both an artist and a human being.”

She had written the poem following a visit to the Philippi police station to see the body of a child who had been shot dead in his mother’s arms by the police in the township of Nyanga in Cape Town. It happened in the aftermath of the massacre of 69 people in Sharpeville, south of Johannesburg, in March 1960. They were marching to the police station to protest against having to carry passbooks.

What is old man Warren’s attitude about those who would like to change things? In “the lottery”
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

First, Old Man Warner actually believes that the Lottery is good for the town. Twice he calls young people a "pack of fools," for even considering doing away with the Lottery. Tied to this point, he is a very traditional man. To change tradition is sacrilegious.  

Second, he believes that there will be a good harvest if the town continues with the Lottery. He give us a little jingle that he recalls from the past: "Lottery in June, corn be heavy soon."

Write a letter to the editor of a newspaper informing them about the bravery of a village girl who protested against the dowry s
muminat

Dear Mrs./Ms./Mr. ...

My name is ... and the reason I'm reaching out to you is my belief that people should know about a certain person named ... She lives in a village in India and has recently become a hero for some and an outcast for others.

..., as many other girls in her country, was brought up in a traditional family whose values were taught her, but certainly not accepted without questioning and resistance. She has, even though with little support at first, decided to fight an ancient system she believes to be most unfair.

She has refused to get married in an attempt to protest against the dowry system. She belives it to be a tradition worth letting go of, one that keeps women where they do not belong: below, as someone who not only has the obligation of getting married, but the obligation of paying for it.

... has suffered a great deal and had it not been for some good friends and social media, she might not have had any of the acknowledgment she has now gained.

I believe, however, that more can be done for her through your newspaper. If her story were to be shared and known this way, it might open the doors for her to become an official speaker on behalf of all the women who live under the same circumstances.

I truly hope you'll take my request into consideration. For further information about her, you may contact me at...

Sincerely,

...
