3. Craft and Structure: Why does the narrator compare the wait for her father to

English

kherson [118]3 years ago
8 0

In "Persepolis" by Marjane Satrapi, the narrator compares the wait for her father to come home to "the same silence as before a storm" because:

The silence before a storm is broken by awful thunders and heavy rain. Similarly, the silence in her home as she, her mother, and her grandmother waited for her father to return could be broken by awful news.

  • "Persepolis" is a graphic novel by Marjane Satrapi based on her life experiences as child in Iran during the revolution.
  • In the story, the narrator is also just a child. Her father has left home to take pictures of the demonstrators out in the streets.
  • Taking photos was forbidden, and her father had been arrested before.
  • The family was now afraid something worse might happen to him.
  • They waited for him in complete silence. The narrator compares that situation to the silence before a storm.
  • It is that calm moment before something terrible happens.
  • With the storm, it is the heavy rain and the thunders. With the family, it could be the bad news of the father's death.

Exercise 1 Use the spelling rules in this lesson to spell the words indicated.<br> broken + -ness
Vilka [71]

The correct spelling will be brokenness that will indicate the Spelling rules with the help of suffix.

The majority of English words were spelled mainly phonetically during Shakespeare's day, or at least more phonetically than they are now. English speakers used to pronounce the k at the start of words like knife and knee, for instance.

However, we continue to use the old spelling even though nobody has said knee for centuries with a "kuh-nee" sound. Fortunately, there are a few general guidelines that can be useful when you're trying to spell a word.

For many pupils, the Three Great Spelling Rules are challenging, and true mastery of these rules frequently necessitates additional practise sessions. The value of teaching each rule in a multimodal way cannot be overstated.

Teachers can help kids become automatic with these complex spelling ideas by using games, chants, and other manipulatives.

What is the best way to describe paraphrasing?
Annette [7]
Using your own words to express someone else's message or ideas. In a paraphrase, the ideas and meaning of the original source must be maintained; the main ideas need to come through, but the wording has to be your own.

Hope this helps!!
