English

Setler [38]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

<u>the tone</u> used in McNeil's oral history<u> is confessional</u> and <u>the purpos</u>e seems to be that by making simple, humble statements the narrator is able to <u>present his own morality and his struggles in statements and not as pleadings</u>.

Explanation:

these excerpts are from a<u> narrator who comes from a marginalized community engaging in a protest against the government</u>. this kind of oration is known as <u>deceptively simple</u>.

on the surface, the text seems uninviting and simplistic. but the layer of rebellion is subdued by the matter of factly tone to become more of a defiance to which the common person can easily identify and sympathize with. It also s<u>hows the strength of the narrator</u> by not betraying their emotions to the reader.

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

I think that this quote is trying to describe that the traditions that have been passed down and used time and time again by the 'primitive' will forever be more tangible. Because when he says "the fantasy of modern times" it's almost like he is claiming that they are just ideas and wishes and wants for this more modern society and way of living, whereas, with the "lore of the primitive" these normal methods of survival have been used and proven effective over again. A good comparison to that phrase could be, "if it ain't broke don't fix it", which is essentially what I think that Anton Chekhov was trying to say.
