Which of the following descriptions is most likely from the perspective of an unreliable narrator?

1 answer:

7 0

The correct answer is A. In this case, the narrator professes his own highly subjective perspective. If he is the only one who can see Carly, it seems that Carly is an imagined figure, so it is a clue to the narrator's unreliability. It should make the reader suspicious of the narrative. Unreliable narrators often tell their story in first person.

Which statement best describes the theme of "A Day for Wandering"? One must appreciate nature’s beauty in order to understand li

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

The statement that best describes the theme of "A Day for Wandering" is:

B. The country is better than the city because it is more beautiful.

Explanation:

"A Day for Wandering" is a poem by author Clinton Scollard. The speaker of the poem talks about the day he spent in nature, away from the city. It was just that one day, though. The speaker does not talk of a total and complete decision to leave the city and stay in the country for good. It was a day the speaker "set apart for wandering".

<u>To the speaker's eyes, the country is more beautiful. While the city has "brawls and bruit", the country has voices from invisible throats, small animals effortlessly living their lives, with no worries or cares. The speaker seems to be merely observing and admiring nature. He's not trying to make sense of it. He is not judging life, struggling to understand its meaning, feeling small before the universe. He's simply existing along with nature and its beauty. We can, therefore, safely choose letter B as our answer: The country is better than the city because it is more beautiful.</u>
