Hemingway is known for his journalistic writing style. Which of these excerpts is an example of that style?
Vinvika [58]

The correct answer is option A ("What I will do if he decides to go down, I don't know. What I'll do if he sounds and dies I don't know. But I'll do something. There are plenty of things I can do").

We refer to journalistic style in writing as the use of certain devices, structures and resources that are most commonnly associated with news articles, chronicles and similar kinds of pieces. <u>They can be easily identified for the use of short sentences and paragraphs that have a very straight-forward feel to them. The message often feels urgent and we get the sense that the author is trying to quickly make their point.</u>

Example "A" presents many of these features while none of the others are brief or to-the-point at all.

Hope this helps!

The author chose to tell this story from the perspective of children, rather than adults. Is this strategy effective for recount
lbvjy [14]
The author's choice to tell the story from the children's perspectives is effective. The children do not have the same prejudices and concerns that the adults have. As a result, they are open to one another and become friends despite their differences. They provide the reader with unbiased insight into what is happening on the mainland and on Malaga Island.

Read the excerpt from Cristina Garcia’s Dreaming in Cuban.
Alik [6]
Magic realism is a Latin American literary style in which surreal, not possible elements are combined with nonfictional elements.

Here the answer is A: <span>A.Lourdes’s father returning to her from the dead.

In the real world, people don't return from the dead, so this is the non-real element of the story. The rest of the story is very realistic, so the combination of  the father's resurrection and the rest of the story is very typical of magic realism
