He chooses the lofty style of epic narration to relate his commonplace story of a rooster and a fox. This style adds a comic element to the story. The nun's priest compares the rooster Chanticleer to epic Greek heroes such as Hector and Achilles. Chanticleer's boasts are like those of epic characters. Pertelote’s screams are likened to the loud shrieks of Hasdrubal’s wife on learning of his death in Carthage. The epic style is used to entertain readers and hold their interest in an otherwise mundane story.

Answer:

The narrator accomplishes that by using a specific style of narration and a specific language. This story is an example of mock-heroic technique where trivial things are described as something unearthly and sublime. This is accomplished by using the epic language, that is the elevated language that is used to enhance the deeds of epic and mythic heroes.

in 3-5 sentences thoroughly explain how the author choice of words regarding structure create tension or add meaning in the stor
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Tension was there from the start of the narrative "Condensed Milk." At first, the narrator was weak from hunger, was mistreated, overworked, and envious of others who had easier jobs. He was so feeble that he didn't have much chance of making arrangements for the next day since he didn't know if he'd even live that long.

In the middle, Shestakov approached him with an escape plan, but the narrator discovered he lied about the distance, and he considered all possibilities, knowing there was no chance he could live. Later, he informed Shestakov that he would do it because he needed food for strength. The finale is that he drank all of the condensed milk and became full before deciding not to go. Later, those who sided with Shestakov were either murdered or sentenced to extra time in prison. Shestakov was never punished in the same way as the others, but the narrator survived to work another day.

Which statement is true about evaluating a text? A. Analyzing an author’s omissions and his or her use of details is an importan
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

A) Analyzing an author's omissions and his or her use of details is an important part of responding or evaluating a text.

Explanation:Evaluation is crucial to the effective understanding and analysis of the text. Thus, to keep the author's perceptions, omissions, and the purpose behind writing the particular text in mind relevantly become vital as it would not merely assist in the evaluation of the text but also in offering insight into the psyche of the author which would further hint the perceptions and ideas echoed through the work. The rest of the options do not consider evaluation in its context and are mere incomplete or incorrect statements. Hence, the one which is suggesting a true path to the evaluation is option A as the authorial details would surely play the part in apprehension and assessment of the text.

Read this sentence from the selection when I need a new jacket and my mother asked what kind I wanted I describe something like
natka813 [3]

Hello!

A hyperbole is an exaggerated statement used to prove a point. In this sentence, the hyperbole is "enough belts to hold down a small town." This is exaggerated because the speaker is explaining how he/she wants a jacket with many belts, but the belts could not actually hold down a small town.

I hope this helps you! Have a lovely day!
