Explanation:
In order to rewrite the sentence into an active sentence, we first need to determine the subject. In other words, we need to find out <em>who or what is performing the action.</em>
For example, let's take the sentence “The ball was kicked by the little girl.”
In this sentence, all the ball is doing is sitting there. The girl, however, is performing the action of kicking the ball, which would make her our subject.
Next, we move the subject to the beginning of the sentence and then describe the action and what or who is affected by it. So “The ball was kicked by the little girl” can be rewritten to “The little girl kicked the ball.”
The author considered the dominant personality in nineteenth-century American novels was Mark Twain.
In the novel “<em>Nectar in a Sieve</em>” by Kamala Markandaya (1954), one of the main themes is the contrast between the tradition (Part 1) and the modern (Part 2), or the rural life and the city life. While <u>Part 1</u> takes place in an unnamed village in rural India, <u>Part 2</u> takes place in an unnamed major city in urban India. The author used imagery throughout the novel in order to call the reader’s attention. This technique is used <u>to represent objects, actions, and ideas in a way that it appeals to the reader’s physical senses</u>. For example, Markandaya used onomatopoeia together with imagery in the following passage “<em>… a click-clank of stone on stone with intermittent dull explosions</em>”. Water is also an example of imagery in the novel, since the patterns of the rain portray Rukmani’s view of the world and the balance of certainty and uncertainty, the good times and the bad ones. Moreover, water was also an important element in <u>Nathan’s death</u> and <u>for the women</u>.
