English
1 answer:
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.

How is suspense handled differently in different mediums?
vampirchik [111]
There are many ways to convey suspense. In movies, you can do it with choosing specific tunes in the background and making sets that look eerie or by zooming in on people's faces (which was an old method). In music you can slow the tempo down and add some random high pitched notes from time to time such as those found in old horror films or classical tunes. In books, it is usually done through descriptions of the unknown or mysterious.

What technique does Chaucer use to create lively characters? a. Direct characterization b. simple characterization c. indirect c
Vladimir [108]

Chaucer uses several different techniques to create lively characters, but the best option from the list would be

"indirect characterization" if you have to choose one.

Explanation:

In The Canterbury Tales, Geoffrey Chaucer originally uses indirect techniques of characterization in identifying the various pilgrims in the General Prologue and completely the whole poem. Unlike primary characterization in which the narrator simply tells the reader what sort of personality a role has, secondary characterization allows the reader to form his or her own conception of the character in question
