Elinor and Marianne reveal some of the differences in their temperament upon their departure from Norland. Compare how Elinor and Marianne feel and behave upon leaving Norland.

Answers

Here is an example of the difference between sensible Elinor and emotional Marianne: Elinor pushed her own feelings aside and got things done, while Marianne lamented. She, like Marianne, shed tears over leaving the home she loved, but this did not prevent Elinor from acting on her understanding of just how small their income and their new home were to be. 

It was Elinor who, despite her own feelings, tried to make John and Fanny feel welcome in their new home. 

Marianne, on the other hand, Her temperament was like her mother's, in fact. Mrs. Dashwood, however, allowed herself to be guided by her eldest daughter, Elinor, because she understood and valued Elinor's understanding and good judgment.

A piece of music played as an introduction to the main piece is called a _____.

Answers

The correct answer is: a PRELUDE

A prelude is a musical composition that is usually brief. It is characterized by being played as an introduction to a larger musical piece. It comes from the latin "praeludere" which means "to play before". In the beginning it was played as a necessity as musicians needed to warm up and test their tunning and the acoustics of the place, so they improvised these preludes before starting the main pieces. As time passed by, this tradition became part of the ritual of music and was included in the composition process.
