Why are classical allegories not regarded as realistic fiction?

Answers

The correct answer is:

Their characters are generally flat and merely function as symbols for particular concepts.

Explanation:

Writers or speakers typically use allegories as discovered devices or as rhetorical devices that convey (semi-)hidden instead complicated applications by symbolic figures, actions, metaphors, or events, which collectively create the moral, spiritual, or political interest the author wishes to write Classical allegories are metaphorical in nature. This means that they include metaphors, imagery, and symbolical messages all eventually the story. Stories are often philosophical and political in nature that could impose morals or education. Allegories are involved in nature and are often thought-provoking and can be defined uniquely by each of its readers, spectators or listeners. On the other hand, genuine fiction is a type of fiction in which the story has elements that can be seen by the audience as something that is currently subsisting and convincing to them.

Classical allegories are metaphorical in nature. This means that they contain metaphors, imagery and symbolical messages all throughout the story. Stories are often philosophical and political in nature that could impose morals or enlightenment. Allegories are complex in nature and are often thought-provoking and can be interpreted uniquely by each of its readers, viewers or listeners. On the other hand, realistic fiction is a type of fiction in which the story has elements that can be seen by the audience as something that is currently existing and believable to them. A person, place or animal is known to the audience and the author; and these elements are only used to create a different story that is fictional with a realistic setting.

In which sentence is the word climbing a gerund? a. Mr. Herrera planted climbing ivy on the side of his house. b. The explorers were climbing up the steeply sloping mountain. c. The children enjoyed climbing on the playground equipment.

Answers

The sentence: (c.) The children enjoy climbing on the playground equipment, is a sentence that uses the word climbing as a gerund. That is because climbing is directly appointed or connected to the playground equipment. A gerund is a word that is in the form of verb but acting as a noun.

Answer: C) The children enjoyed climbing on the playground equipment.

Explanation: A gerund is a word that has the form of a verb, but it acts like a noun (it can be a subject or an object in a sentence). The structure of a gerund is the root of the verb, plus the ending "ing." From the given sentences, the one that is an example of a gerund is "The children enjoyed climbing on the playground equipment" because in this case "climbing" acts like a noun (and the direct object of the sentence).

Read the poem below and answer the question that follows.“Blazon”
by Cecilia Woloch

—after Breton

My love with his hair of nightingales
With his chest of pigeon flutter, of gray doves preening themselves at dawn
With his shoulders of tender balconies half in shadow, half in sun
My love with his long-boned thighs the map of Paris of my tongue
With his ink-stained tongue, his tongue the tip
of a steeple plunged into milky sky
My love with his wishing teeth
With his fingers of nervous whispering, his fingers of a boy
whose toys were cheap and broken easily
My love with his silent thumbs
With his eyes of a window smudged of a train that passes in the night
With his nape of an empty rain coat
hung by the collar, sweetly bowed
My love with his laughter of an empty stairwell, rain all afternoon
With his mouth the deepest flower to which
I have ever put my mouth

Answers

d is a run on sentence because there are no commas or periods and it is quite long
The answer is definitely D, because it contains two independent clauses that are joined together without a comma or conjunction. (An independent clause just means a chunk of language that has both a subject and a verb and could be a complete sentence on its own.)
