Answer: detailed descriptions.
In this excerpt, we can see that O'Connor takes great care in creating believable characters by using detailed descriptions. Without her descriptions, we would still know that the man is a tramp. However, by giving us so many details about his clothes, the way he wore his hat, and the way he walked, we can better understand why the old woman believed him to be a tramp and not a dangerous character.
Answer:
2. Which of the following is NOT
a supporting idea included in
the “Mount Rushmore" passage?
The sentence that contains the dangling modifier is this: IN A RUSH, THE SLOW TRAFFIC WAS GRATING ON MY NERVES.
A dangling modifier refers to an ambiguous grammatical expression, that is constructed in such a way that, it makes it very easy for the grammatical modifier in the sentence to be associated with the wrong word or with no word at all.
Sentences with dangling modifiers should be re-written in such a way that it will be very easy to recognize the word that the modifier is modifying.
In the statement given in option A, it can be seen that it is very difficult to know who or what the rush is referring to; we can not say for sure may be it is the writer that is in a rush or may it is the slow traffic that is grating her nerves in a rushing manner.<span />
Answer:
The limitations of having Nick as a narrator is that the readers are not able to know the thoughts of other characters. In First-person narrative, readers get to know only what narrator knows and what he sees and perceives about the event.
The evidence of this limitation in chapter is apparent when Nick gets drunk and he himself claims that his drunkness <em>has a dim hazy cast over it.</em>
Explanation:
The Great Gatsby is a novel written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The novel is about Jay Gatsby and is narrated by Nick Carraway.
The story is narrated from First-person point of view. The limitation of having Nick as a narrator is that readers are not able to perceive the thoughts of other characters, especially that of Jay Gatsby. The readers get to know only what limited view of Nick narrated to them. They are able to see only what Nick sees and nothing beyond it or other's viewpoint. It is the viewpoint of Nick that moulds the story of Gatsby.
This limitation is apparent in Chapter 2 of the novel when Nick gets drunk at the party and himself admits that his drunkness <em>has a dim hazy cast over it. </em>This suggests that Nick was not able to trust his own narration of this particular event after he got intoxicated.
