I have found this question online, and it is about the short story "The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County," by Mark Twain. The excerpt is long for me to post here, but it begins with the story told by Simon Wheeler, one of the characters.
Answer:
The option that best states how the author develops the character in this excerpt is:
A. with the use of dialect.
Explanation:
When it comes to literature, dialect is related to how the author portrays the characters' speech. Many authors choose to write words with an uncommon spelling just to show that that is the way the character pronounces them. For instance, in books by Zora Neale Hurston, what should be "I" was spelled as "Ah" to emphasize pronunciation.
<u>The same happens in this short story by Mark Twain. The excerpt we are analyzing here uses dialect to reveal more about the character. For example, Wheeler says "feller" instead of "fellow". Twain wants readers to know that Wheeler is a simple man, in contrast with the narrator of the story who is an educated man and who uses a very different (formal) dialect from Wheeler.</u>
Answer:
Letter writing about an unexpected absence.
Explanation:
To,
My dear friend Rick
I hope you are not angry with me. I know I promised to be there to see you awarded by the university. And I am so sorry to miss that. But I have a valid reason for skipping that.
Just a day before your event, my father got a heart attack and we had to get him straight to the hospital. And considering the seriousness of the situation, the doctor has advised us to be admitted for some days just to keep my dad under observation. And with my mother's condition, I am the only one available to stay with him. So, I had to stay there and take care of things. I didn't even get the chance to inform you and I apologize for that.
I will definitely make up for my absence. I only hope that you understand my situation and forgive me. Since we are still in the hospital, I can't go anywhere. But I will visit you soon.
Take care and will see you soon.
Lots of love,
Jackie.
