ed, handing my registration to the secretary. "I remember that song, and it always makes me feel a little sad to hear it," I admitted to Rosie.

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.

Part A: Which of the following best expresses the distinction between fear and anxiety?
gogolik [260]

Answer:

A. Fear is an emotional reaction to immediate danger, while anxiety is a longer-lasting state of distress

over anticipated threats.

Explanation:

The article "The Complexity of Fear" tries to give a more specific insight on difference between fear and anxiety, as well as their connections to phobias.

It has been long suggested that fear is a response to a real threat, while anxiety is a fearful response to a situation that doesn't pose a real threat, but is perceived as such.

This article gives a bit different view.

In paragraph 2, the fear is defined as ”...a reaction to something immediate that threatens your security or safety", while paragraph 3 defines anxiety as "...a general state of distress that is longer lasting than fear and usually is

triggered by something that is not specific..."

These definitions seem to go a bit deeper into exploring these emotions and suggest a bit detailed explanation of their origin.

Do you think that Godwin and brautigan have similar or different attitudes toward technology
Nimfa-mama [501]

They have a very different views on technology. Brautigan thinks that nature and technology have adapted to live with each other. He says that a deer walks past a computer withouth even flinching as if it were supposed to be there. This shows that nature and computers have adapted to live with one another. On the other hand, Godwin feels that technology has taken over peoples lives. In the story, computers and other technology are always being used. There is no mention of any nature or anything else. Only technology.

How does the author foreshadow, hint at, the changes that will occur in jaun's personality and his life ? Provide examples of fo
klemol [59]

Answer:

One foreshadowing act is when he reported the fellow worker who tried to organize a strike, leading to Juan's promotion. Again, he also states that <em>"You don't form a habit by doing something once"</em>, which he proved wrong. These two examples are part of the factors that lead up to his 'power greed' and eventually led to his execution from his self-censored letter.

Explanation:

Foreshadowing is a literary technique that writers employ to provide hints about what will happen in future scenes. This allows the readers to have a sense of suspense, foreboding, and expectant about what is to happen to the character(s).

In the short story "The Censors" by Luisa Valenzuela, the authoritative regime of the government in censoring the letters of the people through a <em>"Censor's Secret Command"</em> shows the level of freedom the people are subjected to. And Juan, the protagonist of the story, also gets involved in the 'power play' where he, at first wants to join the Command only to ensure the safety of his letter to Mariana who has escaped to Paris. But once affiliated with the job, he gets dragged into the world of the 'power' the post/ job provides. And eventually, he brought his own death when he censors his letter so much that it was seized by the government and the writer/sender executed.

Some examples of foreshadowing are when he states <em>"You don't form a habit by doing something once" </em>which he proved wrong. Moreover, his act of turning in his colleague, who <em>"tried to organize a strike to demand higher wages for unhealthy work"</em> is another foreshadowing. This is because by turning in the guy, he got promoted which led him to get into higher posts where he eventually brought about his own downfall and is executed.
