Explanation:
The author's purpose or the purpose of a text refers to the objective or main goal an author has with the text or what he or she expects to be the impact of his or her text in others. In the excerpt presented, written by Stephen King who is one of the most famous American writers, especially in science fiction and horror novels, the explains the process a writer should follow when writing a story, this includes writing the story with the door closed or without sharing it but then share it to others. Additionally, King uses the ideas of Gould another writer to explain the steps and perspective writers should have. This means the content of this text and the author of it aims at explaining other writers the way they should write or the procedures they should follow and therefore the main purpose of this text is to instruct.
To instruct
Steven King's main purpose in this text is to instruct others how to write the first draft of a story (with the door closed and just for you) and then edit with the door open (and with your critics / audience in mind)
This question is missing the excerpt. I was able to find it online. It is as follows:
Read the excerpt from "Enrique's Journey":
Enrique greets the dawn without incident. The sky lightens behind the mountains to the east, and mist rises off the fields on both sides of the tracks. Men trot by on burros with tin milk containers strapped to their saddles, starting their morning deliveries.
Answer:
The narrative technique which the author includes in the excerpt is:
D. The author uses setting to show a sense of accomplishment.
Explanation:
Sonia Nazario is an American journalist born in 1960. She won the Pulitzer for her book "Enrique's Journey," which tells the story of 17-year-old Enrique, from Honduras, who crosses countries in order to be reunited with his mother.
In the excerpt we are analyzing here, Nazario focuses on setting. Setting refers to the time and place where the story happens. From the passage, we know that it is dawn, that Enrique is most likely on a train, and that he sees fields and men along his path. However, that is not all that the setting reveals in the passage. There is a sense of accomplishment when Nazario says, "without incident". This is a sign that Enrique's journey is, until now, successful. A new day has begun, a new scenario unfolds, and Enrique is still moving closer to his destination.
Answer:
The author uses setting to show a sense of accomplishment.

The correct answer to how did Henry David Thoreau feel about the pace of life in is time is: He felt things moved too quickly.
Thoreau said that "If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer." He advocated for a simpler in contrast with the hastiness of his time, which made people lose control of their lives. Things that move too quickly are harder to attend with care and grasp them. He reflected about such things as simplicity and spiritual awakening in contrast with the American hurry of the time exemplified in the construction of the railroad as a symbol of rapid transit and its impact in the life of Americans.
