Which of the following Themes would apply to the story, "The Piece of String"?

Can someone please help me with this thanks

____ [38]

I will underline the predicate nouns or pronouns and mark in bolds the predicate adjectives. Remember: predicate pronouns are pronouns that are present in the predicate; predicate nouns follow the verb (and are nouns or noun phrases that renames or offers more information about the subject); predicate adjectives follow a verb and modify the subject of the sentence.

1. Itzhak Perlman is a distinguished violinist. (the noun phrase "a distinguised violinist" gives us more information about the subject "I. Perlman")

2. Born in 1945, Perlman contracted polio at the age of four. (Mr. Perlman was born in 1945 and he also contracted polio)

3. Perlman is also an award-winning teacher and conductor. (this is a compound predicate adjective: he is both a teacher and a conductor)

4. His playing style is enthusiastic, expressive, and flawless. (this predicate adjective describes Mr. Perlman's playing style)

5. When my friends and I listen to him play, we are amazed at his talent. (I think this is the sentence without subject complements)

As a general rule, really great novels contain

skad [1K]

As a common rule, truly great novels contain universal truths. Universal truths in literature support writers to build a connection with readers.

Explanation:

The universal truth seems to also build the moral of the story or principle. One source that writers must connect with readers using universal truth is through emotion. This thing makes the novels can be great. Universal truth makes it easy for the readers to read it. Intrinsic elements of the literary works also make a novel good. There are numerous intrinsic elements of a literary work that you can see below:

• Setting

Time and place of the action are the settings of a literary work. The settings comprise all the details of a time and place - the year, the month, even the weather.

• Theme

The theme of a literary work is the main message, attention, or purpose. Themes can usually be stated as generalizations, or general statements, about life or people. Themes can be stated by the author directly although more often shown indirectly. When a theme is shown indirectly, the reader must find out the theme by looking thoroughly at what is expressed by the work about people or life.

• Plot

Conflict in the plot is the dramatic fight between two characters in a story. Without it, plot won’t be there. Furthermore, there are types of conflict in the plot: character vs character, character vs nature, character vs society, and character vs self

• Point of View

Perspective from which a story delivered is called the point of view. It shows the narrator's relationship with the story.

1. First-person can be determined by a character who uses “I” for the first-person pronoun.

2. Third-person limited point of view is the point of view or perspective where the writer uses pronouns in the form of third-person such as “he” and “she” to refer to the characters.

"Today was my first time behind the wheel. My father was my instructor for the day, and he picked me up. We were reviewing road

Semmy [17]

This question is incomplete, but I was able to find it online. We are supposed to analyze the following three sentences and decide whether each sentence is written in a parallel structure. If not, we must correct the sentence.

1. We were reviewing road signs and practiced turn signals before we started.

2. I turned on the engine while instructions were muttered by my father.

3. I stepped on the gas, checked my mirror, and crept through the parking lot.

Answer:

1. Change "were reviewing" to "reviewed".

2. Change to "my father muttered instructions".

3. Correct as is.

Explanation:

For a structure to present parallelism, it has to repeat a certain grammatical form inside the sentence. Parallel structures are used to create consistency in a series of words and phrases and make thoughts and ideas easier to understand.

In number 1, we have two different verb tenses expressing actions performed by the same subject in just one sentence. While "were reviewing" is in the Past Continuous, "practiced" is in the Simple Past. The sentence lacks parallelism, but that can be solved if we change "were reviewing" to "reviewed", so that both structures will be in the Simple Past.

In number 2, the same sentence presents a structure in the active voice - I turned on the engine - and another int he passive voice - instructions were muttered by my father. We can make the structures parallel by simply changing the last part to "my father father muttered instructions," so that it can be in the active voice.

Number 3 is correct as is. All the verbs are in the Simple Past, and the structures separated by commas present an action and another piece of information that goes with that action.
