1. How does Uncle Axel's personality contribute to the development and complication of
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Uncle Axel is a kind man who does not share the Waknukian extreme beliefs, he is reasonable about issues that the authorities consider as Offences.

He has an open mind regarding his world and the rest of the world beyond the Labradors, and is concerned with the actual origin of things.

However he is also shrewd enough to keep his beliefs to himself.

These traits of his helps to develop and reinforce the idea of necessary secrecy for David (the protagonist) and others, the support his character gives David and the others enables them to live for many years without detection.

He indirectly encourages David to explore the world and follow his dreams when he gets the chance. His insistence that David helps to keep others like him safe contributes to the climax of the story, in that the group's effort to keep one of them safe lead to their being detected and brought under suspicion.

Explanation:

In <em>The Chrysalids</em> Uncle Axel is David's uncle, he is a kind and reasonable man who keeps an open mind and does not share the extreme religious belief of his people.

His character personality and support for David is the catalyst fro most of David's actions in the story, which contribute to the development of and complication of the plot.

Read the excerpt from Adam's personal narrative. I stepped into the tidal pool carefully, wishing I had brought my water shoes.
kifflom [539]

This paragraph develops the characters in the dialogue by showing that Adam is afraid of what is in the water, but Laura is fearless and likes to tease him.

This text is providing characterization by telling the reader how differently the two characters react to their environment in a narrative of events.

Adam is shown as fearful through indirect characterization:

  • "stepped ... carefully;"
  • "winced;"
  • "nearly screamed."

On the other hand, Laura is directly described by the narrator as someone who "wasn't afraid of anything." Other hints from the text signal to the reader that she is enthusiastic and adventurous:

  • "She was the type to dive off a cliff and not even think about what was in the water below;"
  • "it’s so cool!"

Her "scooping a crab into her hand" and bringing it closer to her face is what is interpreted by the narrator as teasing, because Laura is gently mocking his fears by showing how close you can get to what Adam perceives as a danger.
