It is dedicated to the praise of a single subject.
It suggests the slow passage of time.
It is addressed to a nonhuman subject.
Does this convey time, sequence, condition or state?
Answer:
Sequence is the correct option.
Explanation:
In this sentence, the verb (walk) does not indicate time; there are no adverbs to indicate how the action was done, which could indicate time. There are no adjectives or other words that could indicate it. The sentence lacks description of condition or state because it does not mention how the forest or the characters are, or why the speaker and others are looking for the tree kangaroos. No state can be inferred from the statement. Letter B, sequence, is correct because it mentions one action (walk through the forest) causing (or caused by) another action, in this given example, the fact of searching tree kangaroos.
Answer:
No, it is not possible to sympathize with Raju or be content with the ending of the story for it presents no change of heart in the criminal even after he was convicted and jailed for some months.
Explanation:
R. K. Narayan's short story "Trail of the Green Blazer" revolves around the story of a pickpocket named Raju and his intention to correct his wrong ways. But in his attempt to make things right, (even if it's just to return a balloon for the motherless child), he ended up being caught and convicted, leading to his imprisonment for 18 months.
Considering the ending of the story, it is not fair to say that it is the right way for the plot to end. There is always retribution for any wrongful act committed and if Raju hadn't decided to return the purse with the balloon to the Green Blazer, there is no knowing he may change his ways and stop stealing. With his act caught and him convicted and imprisoned, the event can change him for the better. But that did not even seem to change him. The story ends with him deciding that "If ever I pick up something again, I shall make sure I don’t have to put it back". This shows that he's still thinking of continuing his ways and making sure that he did not return anything, not even if it involves a "motherless child". So, it is hard to sympathize with him for there is no change of heart even after being imprisoned.
which of the following best identifies the conflict in these sentences.
A-Person vs person
B-Person vs Nature
C-Person vs Society
D-Person vs Self
The correct answer is C. Person vs Society
Explanation:
In literature, the conflict refers to a struggle by the characters of the story as there is an opposing force that stops them from achieving their goals or that is against them. Additionally, there are multiple types of conflicts as the main character or characters can struggle again natural forces, society, other characters or themselves. In the case of person vs society, it refers to the conflict in which one character fights against society, this implies society might not agree with the actions or personality of the character, might do actions against this character or stop the character to achieve his dreams. In the case of "Poor fish" excerpt the character explains there is nothing he/she can't do to change the way people see or think about him/her, this implies the character is fighting against a wide group of people or society, which means the struggle of the character can be classified as a Person vs Society conflict.
