Answer:
The above excerpt is a good example of the many storytelling devices used in 1001 Nights except surprise ending.
Explanation:
<u>The excerpt we are analyzing here does have elements of repetition, dialogue and recurring theme. However, it is not a good example of surprise ending, and the reason for that is very simple. </u>Take a look at how the excerpt ends:
<em>The porter was so dazzled he could hardly believe that he heard her aright, but he shouldered his basket in hot haste, saying in himself, "O day of good luck! O day of Allah's grace!" and walked after her till she stopped at the door of a house.</em>
<u>This is not a proper ending. As a matter of fact, this is the beginning of the story. Readers are left expecting, wondering what happens to the porter and the mysterious woman once they reach that door.</u> It might very well be that the story does have an interesting ending, but we are analyzing the excerpt only. And the excerpt does not have an ending whatsoever.
Answer:
<u>1. Did swallow know that helping the happy prince for too long its life will be jeopardized?</u>
<em>Yes</em>.
<u>2. Why did the swallow still choose to help?</u>
<em> It's because the swallow helped the Happy Prince by distributing precious stones and gold leaves that decorated his body.</em>
This is called interpretation.
This is when critics want to find meaning in what an author has written. Analysis is much broader while scanning is incorrect. Evaluation is also inappropriately used here.
The setting of the story <span>“Rip Van Winkle”</span><span> is set in a small, very old village at the foot of the Catskill Mountains. The Forest setting contributes to the theme of enchantment in such a way that it provides the readers a clearer view or a clearer picture of Rip who had slept for 20 years after going to the mountains to hunt with the other explorers.</span>
