Answer:

B - Creative.

Explanation:

In the triarchic theory of intelligence we found 3 types: practical, creative and analytic. The creative one, the one we care about, is described as follows: one’s ability to use existing knowledge to create new ways to handle new problems or cope in new situations.

In the poem “Afterwards,” Hardy uses figurative language, including euphemism, to develop meaning and tone. What is the meaning
Ne4ueva [31]
In the poem "Afterwards," Hardy uses many euphemisms to refer to death. He never actually says the words die, dead, or death.

Instead, he says things like: "If I pass during..." Here, the term "pass" is replacing the word "die." He also uses the very wordy "When the Present has latched its postern behind my tremulous stay" (which basically means "When the present is behind me" or "When I am part of the past").

The effect of these euphemisms is to have a quiet, calming effect on the reader. If he constantly used the words "die" and "death" throughout the poem, the dreamlike quality of the poem would be altered.

Instead, using terms like "afterward" and all the other euphemisms allows Hardy to discuss death without actually discussing it. In this way, he wonders what the rest of the world will do "after."

Write a character sketch for your protagonist in your Module One short story. Include literal, interpretive, and evaluative info
Serga [27]

Answer and Explanation:

As the name suggests, a character sketch is a type of summary of a character. Character sketches are often used by authors as part of the  pre-writing process. However, in this case, we are analyzing a character that belongs to an existing story. A sketch usually includes physical appearance, personality, actions, and feelings, and so on.

Character sketch for the  short story "Condensed Milk" - each affirmation is followed by evidence.

The narrator is a man, an adult. He is most likely an intellectual who was, somehow, involved with politics: "There was no reason for us politicals to be there..."

The narrator is mentally and psychologically exhausted, as well as physically sick:  "Inside there was only an empty scorched sensation, and we were indifferent to everything, making plans no further than the next day." "I rolled up my pants and showed the breaks in the skin from scurvy."

<u>Even though his main concern is to stay alive, he is still capable of strong emotions and petty revenges. He is smart and determined, enough to escape a trap that would lead to his death</u>: "It was, of course, a weak, worthless act of vengeance just like all my feelings. But what else could I do? Warn the others? I didn’t know them. But they needed a warning."
