(1)- What is the author's purpose in telling the story of the Jewish radio operator? A) To highlight the plight of those with a
different faith during the war B) To reminisce about a person she regrets not knowing better C) To introduce the idea that she suffered from heartbreak and lost love D To illustrate the apprehension and danger that the agents faced
Answer: D To illustrate the apprehension and danger that the agents face.
Explanation:
This is based on the essay, "The Price of Freedom" by Noreen Riols. In it we learn about British agents who had to infiltrate France during the second world war. We also learn about radio operators and their short life expectancy of 6 weeks once they embark on their mission.
The essay told the story of a Jewish radio operator who as a Jew, faced even more danger in Nazi occupied Europe. The purpose of this was to show that the agents faced much danger when inflitrating France.
Themes are developed by authors through the following ways: What happens - key events. Characters - character qualities, character actions and how characters respond to situations may all relate to theme. Character development - the ways characters change, and the lessons they learn indicate themes for the reader
Honestly, I would think C because most writers are shy and showing creativity through their writing, instead of showing it themselves in real life, being social.
