English

Answer:

"Gryphon," by Charles Baxter, is a short story set in the rural town of Five Oaks, Michigan. It is narrated by a boy named Tommy. At the beginning of the story, the class observes that their teacher, Mr. Hibler, is getting sick; sure enough, the next day, he is out, and they have a substitute teacher.

Miss Ferenczi is a positive influence by teaching them to be excited about learning through the stories she tells them. The conflict in the story is caused by the difference of what the accepted view of education is and the way Miss Ferenczi teaches.

The theme of the story is that the most gripping learning comes not from staying within our everyday boundaries but by being pushed outside the boundaries of the ordinary. This happens when the unusual substitute teacher, Miss Ferenczi, comes into Tommy's fourth grade Michigan classroom.

It is defining.


Defining relative clause does not have a comma, while a non-defining relative clause has.

For example, if the sentence is:
The children, who hate chocolates, are uncommon.
- since there is comma in this sentence, it is non-defining.

- while if there is no comma like the question in the picture, it is defining.
