Explanation:
According to King, <u>many writing teachers</u> will not like the idea that competent writers can be made into good writers.
This is his exact quote:
"...while it is impossible to make a competent writer out of a bad writer, and while it is equally impossible to make a great writer out of a good one, it <span>is </span><span>possible, with lots of hard work, dedication, and timely help, to make a good writer out of a merely competent one."
</span>So writers that have some merit will become good writers after a time of practice and hard work.
It could be said that Annie´s tone (lines 121-149) tends to reflect her attitude towards her situation and the people around her so in this case she sounds upset about Helen situation and it seems that she is not able to control her.
Paragraph 31
''He bit his lips in annoyance, left the coffee-house and decided not to smile or look at anyone, which was not like him at all. Suddenly he stood rooted to the spot near the front door of some house and witnessed a most incredible sight. A carriage drew up at the entrance porch. The doors flew open and out jumped a uniformed, stooping gentleman who dashed up the steps. The feeling of horror and amazement that gripped Kovalyov when he recognized his own nose defies description! After this extraordinary sight everything went topsy-turvy. He could hardly keep to his feet, but decided at all costs to wait until the nose returned to the carriage, although he was shaking all over and felt quite feverish.''
Answer: To show how people are taking themselves too seriously although they are the same as others
Explanation:
In this paragraph, we can the main situation in ''The Nose'' by Nikolai Gogol and that is Kovalyov's nose loss which is showing a lot of irony and grotesque. He was terrified when he found out that his nose is walking freely on the streets but he was the most worried about what the other people will think about his loss.
- With this irony, Gogol's purpose was to show readers how nonsense is the social position or title. He showed that most people are taking themselves too seriously because they are thinking that they are important in society but actually they are like everyone else.
This story is surreal but it is shown in the most realistic and detailed way.
