Answer:

The answer is letter D.

Explanation:

Characterization refers to how the characters in a story are represented by telling or showing a certain feature or description of their personalities or characteristics. There are mainly two types of characterization:<em> direct and indirect.</em>

  • Direct Characterization- the writer <em>tells</em> the character's personality by mentioning direct statements. For example: "She was a brilliant girl." In this case, he is directly telling the reader.
  • Indirect Characterization- the writer <em>shows</em> the character's personality by cumulative details. Examples of this are the thoughts of the character, or the way she dresses.

Among the choices above,<u> it is only letter D which shows indirect characterization.</u> <u>The statement shows what the character thinks about working in the farm, according to what he declared.</u>

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer: Which phrase uses the rhetorical device pathos? Declaration of Independence by Thomas Jefferson (adapted excerpt) We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, endowed with certain fundamental rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it. To institute a new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to most likely affect their safety and happiness. Prudence will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly, all experience hath shown, that mankind is more disposed to suffer, while injustices are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

Which excerpt from Chapter 28 of MobyDick best develops the theme of the novel concerning man’s insistence on manufacturing his
Katarina [22]

The excerpt from Chapter 28 of Moby Di-ck which best develops the theme of the novel concerning man’s insistence on manufacturing his own destruction is:

B. And not only that, but moody stricken Ahab stood before them with a crucifixion in his face; in all the nameless regal overbearing dignity of some mighty woe.

One of the important theme in the novel “Moby Di-ck” is about the relationship between nature and man. The novel is about a man, Ahab, who goes out in the natural world to disturb the balance of nature by killing the animals. Though at the end of the novel, it is the nature who remains unchanged and the man has to witness a failure.  Ahab had a strong belief in the fate because of which he thinks that it is in his destiny to slay down the whale. The desire for revenge exists stands secondary for him. He combines his egoism with the feeling of revenge and moves on to destroy the whale. He ignores the prophecies about the destruction that will cause to his ship and himself if he moved on. In the end, he falls prey to his own destruction causing his identity to extinct.
