1 answer:
Afina-wow [57]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

A. Condense the author's idea into a shortened version but in your own words

Explanation:

D. Take an author's idea word for word from the text is plagiarism, unless you are are quoting.  C. Rewriting the author's idea in your own words in a version that is about the same length is paraphrasing. A. is the definition of summarize. When someone asks you to "sum up" a story, they are asking you to give you a shorter version of the story with only the most important parts. Paraphrasing and summarizing sound pretty similar, but the key difference is in length. A paraphrase should be about the same length as the original idea, summarizing should be shorter. B. is also wrong, since you are <em>expanding </em>upon the author's thoughts, when summarizing tries to condense them.

Which approach best defines how writers of historical fiction try to appeal to readers?
den301095 [7]
Ethos, pathos, and  logos. Ethos is appealing to the reader by the author establishing his credability. Pathos is appealing to the reader by the author "pulling at the readers heart strings." This means he is illiciting emotions in the reader. Logos is appealing to the reader by the author establishing logic in his argument. These stratagies are used by all authors, not just historical fiction writers.

What is the theme of book 1 chapter 4 of war of wolds
vampirchik [111]
<span>The narrator returns to Horsell Common to discover an even larger crowd, all pushing to be able to see the cylinder. All, that is, except for one poor guy who fell into the crater and is trying to push his way back out. (Which is always the way – the grass is always greener on the other side of the crater.)Then the cylinder opens, and out comes something that no one expects. The narrator admits that he expected something sort of like a man to emerge, but instead what comes out is snake-like tentacles and a body about the size of a bear and skin that glistens like "wet leather" (1.4.12, 1.4.14). (You can only imagine our facial contortions right now.)Everyone runs away from the Martian just because it looks horrible, what with its saliva-dripping, lipless mouth and big, luminous eyes. Oh, and tentacles. Can't forget the tentacles.Since all of the people have for cover (they've found places to hide and watch), the area by the crater is now a human-free zone, with just some horses and carts.<span>Oh, and remember the man who fell in the crater before? He's still down there. Dun dun dun!
