Answer:

"I remember that song, and it always makes me feel a little sad to hear it," I admitted to Rosie.

I knelt down next to the woman's dog and said, "He's a beautiful dog. What's his name?"

"You just say that because you're jealous," I said to Marty as I put my license back in my wallet.

Explanation:

The sentences that use description to develop the narrator's personality are the second, third, and fourth ones.

Story writers create and describe their characters in the process called characterization. There are two main types of characterization:

  • Direct characterization - the writer explicitly tells us about a character's traits.
  • Indirect characterization - we find out more about the character from their thoughts, actions, appearance, interaction with other characters, etc.

The given sentences are examples of indirect characterization. We find out more about the narrator's personality from their interaction with other characters. The rest of the sentences don't contribute to the description of their personality, which is why they're incorrect options.

Write a literary essay about an intercalary chapter of The Grapes of Wrath. Your essay should
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The structure of the novel “The Grapes of Wrath ” is unusual.

Explanation:

The structure of “The Grapes of Wrath ” by “John Steinbeck” is quite unconventional. There are narrative chapters in which the narrator is omnipresent and sees everything and is aware about all the thoughts and actions of all the characters. But, in the intercalary chapters, there is a pause in the main narrative and the narrator changes. The views on this break is mixed, some feel that it is frustrating, and the two distinct sections of the novel are not properly related, others say that this has been thoughtfully by John Steinbeck.

The characters in the novel face a lot of conflicts because they are forced to travel away from their homes to California. They migrate as farmers ion hope of achieving success during The Great Depression.

The intercalary chapters in the novel are also called the 'inner chapters', which do not directly affect John but indirectly convey the inputs on the struggles of the characters. The main reason of the intercalary chapters is to give an idea about how the world (social and economic system of the world) was during that time to the readers. Many literary techniques are applied in the “intercalary chapters”. Most common is dramatization. Use of monologues and dialogues show the historical reasons behind the events that are occurring in the story. For example, how farmers were forced so sell their lands and how drought forced the farmers to migrate to a new place. The language used in the novel, specially in the structures of King James Bible reflect about the moral beauty of the novel. These lines give the novel a spiritual touch as well.

Which is an explicit message found in the media
Papessa [141]

The correct answer is: C) You should eat corn at every meal.

An explicit message is characterized by the direct way it tells things. It leaves no room for vagueness, implication or ambiguity, going straight to the main point. When receiving an explicit message no questions are left, there are not hidden meaning or intents.

The sentece "You should eat corn at every meal.", has those characteristics, it tells you what to do, nothing more, nothing less.

The other sentences try to deliver the same message but in a vague way, they relate eating corn with possitive things like patriotism. This is more related to subliminal messages in which things are not easily perceived, the real meaning is hidden. As a result a person can do something based on the message, believing that his actions have one particular cause (e.g. eating corn to be patriotic) but actually they respond to unknown causes (e.g. the corn industry).
