Answer: The narrator has been insulted many times and now vows revenge against Fortunato.
Explanation: All other options are the result of a poor understanding of the text: in a void, the "thousand injuries of Fortunato" could be understood as injuries that Fortunato has suffered, but the context lets us know it is the other way around as soon as we read "I had borne," which actually means "I have suffered" (borne is the past participle of bear, not of born). To venture upon here means to start doing something new, figuratively coming into a new territory, which, in this context, is injury.
Answer:
A feminist analysis would focus on how the men discuss Mrs. Ochuba. A historical analysis would focus on whether using a native doctor was considered superstitious at the time and place the story depicts.
Explanation:
In order to answer this we need to define the terms "feminist analysis" and "historical analysis". While both of them are types of analysis of literary work, they differ in goals.
Feminist analysis focuses on analyzing in what manner women are presented in literature and also the role of gender in the character's actions and development.
On the other hand, historical analysis is the method used to help us understand the past. It focuses on examining a literature work and by doing so, learning about everyday life, tradition, customs and connecting it to a certain place and period in time.
When evaluating a word choice, it is very important to avoid using vague words. Words used must be concise and express our feelings without using unnecessary words. The correct option is A.
Tone vs. Narrative
Not all poem adaptations are created equal. In addition to the middle school genre of simply narrating a poem with random images overlaid as a slideshow, there are two main categories of cinematic adaptations of poems. They are the “tone poem” style and the “narrative journey” style. What are the differences?
Tone Poem:
Little to no story element
Montage-based
Evokes a feeling
Poem narration is optional
Narrative Journey:
A story forms the structure of the film
More cinematic
Evokes a theme
Usually relies on narration some ideas to help
Answer:
She floated around the room so easily she
could be Phileas Fogg - Allusion
She floated around the room like a balloon - Simile
She floated around the room, moving in no
specific direction - Metaphor.
Explanation:
A similar is used when comparing something to another. A sentence bearing a simile is identified by the presence of "like" or "as"
This is shown in the answer above where a lady's movement was compared to a balloon floating.
A metaphor is also used in comparison but this time directly. The quality given to the subject may not necessarily be true.
In the example above, the lady was described as floating "floated around the room..." Also notice that people do not necessarily float but in this case her movement was directly described as floating.
Allusion is used to make reference to objects, persons, places or even events.
In the example above, the ladies movement was not only described as floating but Phileas Fogg was used in reference to it.
