Answer:

a shift from one time period to another.

Explanation:

In English literature, transition words and phrases helps to make sure that the contents of a literary work are logical and in harmony. Therefore, transition words and phrases are used by writers to connect (join) paragraphs together and create a flow of their ideas and thoughts.

Basically, conjunctions are mainly considered to be transitional words.

Some examples of transition words and phrases are earlier, therefore, however, in summary, but, and, or, conversely, on the contrary, before, likewise, later, because, hence, as a result, consequently, sequel, furthermore, moreover, in the long run, in conclusion, generally, lastly, such as, as an example, for instance, singularly, especially, first of all, accordingly, in addition, since, etc.

Since indicates a time in the past or a specific period of time with respect to when an event started.

Hence, the kind of transition that the word "since" usually indicate is a shift from one time period to another.

Consider your response to the previous question and the essay "Symptoms" by John Steinbeck. Do O’Brien’s actions during the batt

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

PLATO ANSWER

Both O’Brien’s “Ambush” and Steinbeck’s “Symptoms” discuss the aftereffects of war on soldiers. However, the authors have different points of view. O’Brien’s tone toward soldiers and victims of war is sympathetic. The aftereffects of war include guilt, flashbacks, and denial. The following lines from O’Brien’s essay portray the feeling of guilt the author experiences after the war:

Sometimes I forgive myself, other times I don't. In the ordinary hours of life I try not to dwell on it, but now and then, when I'm reading a newspaper or just sitting alone in a room, I'll look up and see the young man coming out of the morning fog. I'll watch him walk toward me, his shoulders slightly stooped, his head cocked to the side, and he'll pass within a few yards of me and suddenly smile at some secret thought and then continue up the trail to where it bends back into the fog.

On the other hand, Steinbeck discusses war and its effect on soldiers in an almost scientific way. He believes that a soldier becomes reticent and does not like to remember the events of war because the memories are traumatic. The following lines from Steinbeck’s “Symptoms” convey this feeling:

During the years between the last war and this one, I was always puzzled by the reticence of ex-soldiers about their experiences in battle. . . .

Only recently have I found what seems to be a reasonable explanation, and the answer is simple. They did not and do not remember--and the worse the battle was, the less they remember.

While both writers have different perspectives, it seems as though O’Brien experiences trauma when he thinks about war and so he doesn’t want to think about it, which is what Steinbeck has written about. O’Brien writes, “I want to tell her exactly what happened, or what I remember happening,” as though he cannot remember what he had undergone because he doesn’t want to remember, as is evident from his admitting that “In the ordinary hours of life I try not to dwell on it. . . ."

Answer:

<u>Mrs. Vann Daan has a tendency to be more wasteful with food.</u>

Explanation:

I'd say this answer is correct, because you can tell based on the passage that instead of putting the food into a glass dish, she just leaves it out to go bad. You can tell that she doesn't really care enough about saving food, so she just leaves it out. Therefore, we can conclude that she has a tendency to be wasteful with food.

How does the narrator advance the plot of this story?

konstantin123 [22]

I believe the correct answer is: The narrator's superior pigs and his demand that the villagers pay for the damage done to his pigs creates tension between the narrator and the villagers.

In this excerpt from the story “In a Native Village” from the “Ridan the Devil and the other stories”, written by Louis Becke, main conflict begins with narrator’s conviction that his pigs are superior and had done no wrong to other villagers when they escape from his property:
“Next morning the seven piglets were returned one by one by various native children. Each piglet had, according to their accounts, been in a separate garden, and done considerable damage… I gave each lying child a quarter-dollar.”
Their next escape resulted in losing their tails while confronting the other pigs, for with the narrator demanded a considerable payment as he regarded this as their escape from the “cruel death”. This situation cumulated the tension between the villagers and the narrator and resulted in their fraud and narrator shooting his own pig.

Therefore, I would say that the narrator advances the plot of the story with his demand that the villagers pay for the damage done to his superior pigs, which creates tension between the narrator and the villagers.
