Answer:

Direct characterization is when the narrator tells you about the traits of the character. For example, the small petty miser counted the money five times to be sure that it was all there. In this example, the narrator directly says that the character is small, petty and miserly. It does not need to be inferred using the rest of the sentence. Indirect characterization is when the author shows the character's traits through the character's speech, thoughts, effects on others, actions, and looks

How does rip van winkle’s story best parallel to the story of america’s independence

Amanda [17]

Answer and Explanation:

The short story "Rip Van Winkle" by Washington Irving is an allegory. That means its characters and events have a deeper meaning. In this particular case, the story concerns the independence of America.

Rip's wife is a representation of England in the story. She is constantly nagging her husband, always demanding more from him. She sees Rip as lazy and worthless. This is to show how England viewed America in a bad light, how the British perceived Americans as lazy drunkards who did not know better.

Rip, of course, is the representation of America. He is loved by the other villagers, and kids follow him around, hoping he will tell them a story. Women see in him a helpful and strong man who is willing to do chores that their own husbands won't do. It is true, however, that he does not enjoy working on his own farm. He'd rather go hunting, fishing, or simply stay idle all day at the village with other lazy men at the inn's door.

When exploring the Catskills with his dog, Winkle ends up falling asleep. His slumber lasts for 20 years. When he finally wakes up, he finds not only a free country but a free self - his wife has died. Rip's independence is as confusing as America's independence. Rip does not know what to do, how to act, what to pursue. Just like for the newly independent America, things seem good but overwhelming. In the end, Winkle goes back to being his old, idle self.

What are some advantages of James Hurst deciding to have Brother as the narrator? (answer in 3-5 well-developed sentences) *

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

With Hurst making Brother as the narrative voice, we are able to reach deep into the feelings and emotions of the brother. It also reveals a sense of brotherly love, the want, and the need to make his sickly brother be a part of the 'normal' life of his peers and at times, even the selfish interests of the brother.

Explanation:

James Hurst's story "The Scarlet Ibis" revolves around the story of two brothers, one physically sick and the older brother trying to make sure his brother is capable of living the life of a typical child. Only identified as "Brother", the narrator is the older brother of the sickly William "Doodle" Armstrong, the story's main protagonist.

Brother's voice gives us an insight into the brotherly bond between the two siblings. He also gave us an in-depth look into what he really feels about his sibling's sickness, and what he wants for him in life. He pushes and tried to train him to make him stronger. At times, he even admitted it was for his own sake that he wants others to see his brother is like every child. He admits "It was bad enough having an invalid brother" and even wanted to smother him with a pillow. But a smile brought the human in him and he then decided to "train" and help him get better, be like every other kid.

Had the narrator been not the Brother, then all the inner feelings and emotions, the hatred and then the want to help, the pity and at times the selfishness will never be really revealed or known by the readers. So, through the voice of Brother, we understood and also know a great deal about the two brothers and the story's overall plot.
