It would be B Neutral tone, Literal. Ok to the reason it would be neutral is because it isn’t like positive or negative, it is just simply stating that the snake discovered in the woodshed was nearly seven feet long. And it would be literal because there isn’t like a hidden meaning in the sentence that you have to think about or like any figurative like such as similes or metaphors. It is telling us there is that there was literally a snake discovered hiding in the woodshed that was nearly 7 feet long
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.
I think you have them right
