Hunger Games question 4:

English
1 answer:

Answer:

In this extract, the writer definitely manages to convey a sense of urgency.

Explanation:

   This moment in the book puts too much tension on us readers, as well as on the main character, Katniss.

Sixty seconds is all the time she has to plan how to get weapons, food, and at the same time watch that no one kills her in the attempt. Time is so little, and it is so incredible that it even repeats it more than once to give emphasis.

The drama is present since the protagonist could die at that exact moment, and also because she really needs that bow and arrow with which she is so good. They are weapons she needs to avoid dying later.

 In this way, we can agree with the student's statement that "the writer manages to convey a sense of urgency in this extract."

1. What is "the monkey's paw”? What is Herbert's attitude towards the paw? Sitte text evidence from the selection to support you
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

1.) The monkey’s paw is an actual monkey’s paw but on this one, a holy person, known as a fakir, put a spell on it so that 3 people can have 3 wishes and see that fate cannot be changed. In paragraph 26 it states, “He wanted to show that fate ruled people’s lives, and that those who interfered with it did so to their sorrow.” Herbert White thinks the monkey’s paw as a joke. In paragraph 52 Herbert reacts with “pretended horror” and says "Likely. Why, we're going to be rich, and famous and happy. Wish to be an emperor, father, to begin with; then you can't be henpecked." He is saying this to lighten up the mood. In another paragraph Herbert thinks that the monkey’s paw might be of use. In fact, when Mr. White says that he needs nothing, Herbert encourages his father to wish for 200 pounds. In the text it states, “Well, wish for 2 hundred pounds.”  Then he sits down at the piano to strike "a few impressive chords." In conclusion, Herbert’s dialogue expressed his feelings which shows readers what he thinks about the monkey’s paw.
