Dear James.
First of all I would like to inform you that I had a lot of fun yesterday at your party and thank you immensely for having invited me. I haven't felt this excited in days, but that changed completely during the party, which was perfect and extremely fun. The choice of songs you made couldn't have been better and it managed to keep me dancing all night long. I also need praise for the foods that were being served. I can't imagine which one I liked the most. In addition, all the guests were very friendly and kind, I felt very welcomed.
I would like to take the opportunity and invite you to lunch tomorrow if you are not busy. That way we can talk more about the party and plan a next one, this time, on my own. What do you think?
I await your reply.
With love,
Maria.
The correct answer should be and will hopefully be D
Answer:
The first uses dialogue and character; the second uses first-person point of view.
Explanation:
The first excerpt is found in Chapter Eight titled "September 2nd, 1973" from <em>Fever 1793</em> by Laurie Halse Anderson is based on the yellow fever epidemic that ravaged Philadelphia. The story is from the point of view of the young Mattie Cook, describing how the pandemic had destroyed the lives of the people.
The second excerpt is from <em>The Summer of the Pestilence</em> by George Dodd Armstrong. The book also deals with the history of the same yellow fever that not only affected Philadelphia but also other parts of the nation such as Virginia.
While both books deal with the same pandemic, their dealing with the issue of unprecedented deaths differ a bit. The first book uses a dialogue-conversation approach, with the characters greatly involved whereas the second book uses the first person point of view to address the deaths. These two books may deal with the same issue but their approaches of the deaths and sick people differ such that their narrative plots also differ.
