Why would an author begin a story in medias res?

English
1 answer:
stellarik [79]3 years ago

Answer:

To keep the story suspenseful for the readers up till the end.

Explanation:

The term "medias res" refers to the process or act of starting a story or narrative from a crucial point in the story, which is normally in the middle of the story. This means that medias res starts the story in the middle, in the midst of things.

By starting a story in the middle of events, the author maintains a sense of suspense in the readers. The readers do not know what is to happen, nor are they given any background story to let them understand how the story had been till that given point. This piques the interest of the readers, keeping them hooked to the story till the end.

Rest, because you're usually looking for the word it gives along with repose with the 'and' separating it. I hope that makes sense.

Here is My essay comparing Sparta and Athens

I wrote about this because They are super cool city-states to research about, and it's fun to learn about how they lived.


Sparta and Athens were both Greek city-states, yet they were very different. Athenians valued art, beauty, reasons, and logic, while Spartans lived a life of simplicity. Sparta was isolated on a plane between the mountains. They did not welcome visitors, and didn’t trade.  They were focused on war. Athenians, on the other hand were very open. Since the soil near Athens was not great for farming, they had to trade to fill their needs. Trading opened Athens up to a lot of new ideas from around the world.

 

Sparta was a society dedicated to war. At the age of 7, Spartan boys went to live in military barracks to be trained as soldiers. While the women, stayed home and took care of everything. Women had a lot of freedom in Sparta. They could own property’s and they can choose who they want to marry.

 

In Athens women had very little rights and freedom. They could not own property, banned from reading, and they had no choice in marriage. Athenian boys learned how to read, write, play music, they learned math, and fitness. Athenian girls stayed home and were taught how to run a household from their mothers.

 

Sparta and Athens were both military strong but in different ways. Sparta’s military was composed of powerful, well-trained men. The Athenian army was almost as large as the Spartan, but the Athenian navy was way more advanced and they dominated the Mediterranean Sea.

 

In both Athens and Sparta, you had to be a male citizen to participate in government. A Democracy developed in Athens, and Oligarchy in Sparta. Oligarchy consisted of 2 kings and 28 men. They were called council of elders, and had to be at least 60 years old.

 

Both city-states had huge slave populations, with each home to about 100,000 slaves. Slaves were at the bottom of the social order in both states, while military men were at the top.

 

As we can conclude, even though Athens and Sparta were both Greek city-states, they were completely different. Sparta was focused on war and living a simple life, while Athens valued people, and were very open.
