Answer:
i looked up literary pretension and its when you think you're a great writer so maybe the dad isn't good at writing but still wrote the histories or didn't have much experience writing?
That was SUCH a lovely book! Probably one of my favorites of all time.
I assume you're talking about how it would affect the main character Morrie, yes?
Well Morrie is suffering from Lou Gehrig's disease.This disease is also known as ALS or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. It's a <span>nervous system disease that weakens and deteriorates muscles and impacts physical function. It would really impact Morrie because he used to love dancing before his disease, which he sadly can't do now. Also it could affect his identity as a person if he doesn't handle the news of his sickness correctly. His whole being, his personality, everything could be affected.

Nature helped in both stories with the tree that absorbed tears and the pine tree that grew in the place of the boy that was sucked into the ground. The genres of both stories you could say are folk tale and lesson to be learned. There are metaphors and similes throughout both of the stories. You could say the tree that grew in place of the boy was a sign of the boy's former life. The tree that absorbed the girls tears took away all of her sadness.
Plethora would be the collective noun because it is a group.
The third one fits the best.
