In stanza seven, comparing mice and humans, the author Robert Burns suggests that foresight and planning the future can go wrong for everyone, either mice or humans.
However, in the final stanza Burns still considers the mouse fortunate, because it is only aware of the present moment. It is a human attribute to look at the past and to fear what the future has to bring.
The correct answer is B. A major character plays a big role in the plot, while a minor character has a less important storyline.
Explanation:
In literature, a character refers to any person or even animal or entity that is part of a story in novels, short stories, and other narratives. Additionally, characters can be classified according to their role in the development of the plot and their features; in general terms, characters can be major or minor. Major characters are three-dimensional characters or complex ones including the protagonist of the story and other characters important character in which the story focus and who play an important role as their actions developed the plot. On the other hand, minor characters are only defined through a few features and mainly support the actions of major characters or serve as background or scenario in the story. This means, opposite to major characters minor characters do not have an important necessary role in the plot or story. Thus, the main difference between major a minor characters is that major characters play a big role in the plot as their actions developed it and they are the focus of the story, while minor characters have a less important storyline as they just support the actions in the story but do not develop the plot or change during it.
The excerpts are quite different and can be classified into persuasive, narrative and expository.
