Answer:

Phil Petrie uses the dash throughout his poem for longer pause and informal language to create the effect of Rosa's native language.

Explanation:

"It Happedened in Montogemery for Rosa Parks" is a poem written by Phil Petrie. The poem is about Rosa Park and her resistance to leave the sit in bus that created a history in African American's lives.

The poet uses dash throughout the poem to create longer pause. Pauses in poem help the readers to grasp the image and ponder on it little longer. This longer pause helps the reader to let the words or image be imprinted on thier mind.

The use of informal tone helps to create the effect of Rosa's native language. This effect will let the native readers feel familiar and connected.

In at least 150 words, explain what it means to be an omniscient narrator. Provide an example from one of the stories you’ve rea
Alenkasestr [34]
<u>Omniscient narrator</u>:
This is a common 3rd person narrator in which the person of the tale knows everything, from private thoughts, secret or hidden events, to jumping betweens time. However, the narrator does not tell the reader or viewer everything, until it has a great affect on the story. This is used throughout the story, and the story line can change whenever. For example, if i am a omniscient narrator, i would be able to tell you what every single character is thinking, their actions, and their consequences. You will be able to know whatever they think & do. An example of this is: Bob is angry, because Tom broke his favorite toy. Bob thought, "I will repay Tom for what he has done". He devised a plan that included destroying all of Tom's toys. In the dead of night, when all others are sleeping, Bob went to Tom's house, and bashed and scattered his toys around. The next day, when Tom awoke, he screamed. His parents came and called the police.... etc etc

This showed that even though the other people in the story did not know who did it (yet) or what his thoughts were that led to his actions, the reader him/her self knew what was going on.

hope this helps
