Answer: Pride and the need to feel important

Explanation:

In the story of "Rumpelstiltskin", we are introduced to a girl who was forced to spin thread into gold and so turned to the help of a little man named Rumpelstiltskin who only helped her if she gave him increasingly complicated gifts with the last being her first born unless she could correctly guess his name.

The reason she was forced to make gold out of thread was because her father had bragged to the King that she could do so. He did so because he was a proud man who wanted to appear as though he was important to the King so that the King would acknowledge him.

This is writing that communicates specific information about a particular subject, craft, or occupation.
lapo4ka [179]

There are four different types of writing: expository, persuasive, descriptive and narrative.  While one could say that descriptive could describe a particular subject, craft, or occupation, descriptive writing is more for describing a character, event, or special place.  Persuasive is trying to persuade your audience to think one way, and narrative is used to tell a story.  Expository writing is used to communicate specific information about a particular subject, craft, or occupation.

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Foreshadowing

Explanation:

Foreshadowing is a literary technique whereby an author provides a hint of what is to happen later in the story. At the end of the story, "To Build a Fire," the man who sojourned in the Yukon trail died in the cold. Foreshadowing occurred earlier in the passage when the old-timer on Sulphur Creek gave the advice to travel with a partner. It was as if he knew in advance that the man could die from the cold if circulation was not restored when the temperature was seventy-five below. Unfortunately, when the man was being frozen by the cold, he recalled that advice.
