Shahrazad, the female narrator of the famous Middle Eastern work of literature, <em>One Thousand and One Nights</em>, weaves into her narration all forms of narrative and diverse literary genres, incorporating what seems to be reality —that is to say, her own life and the tricks she is forced to pull in order for her story to go on avoid being killed. To secure her life, she makes use of, for example, fables, fiction (at least as we have come to know these terms today, that is to say, as narrative taking the form of a novel or a short story, following a certain timeline structured around a setting, a plot and a conclusion), and even erotica in some passages that, centuries before the Marquis de Sade would make an appearance, shocked its readers. It is not incorrect to compare <em>One Thousand and One Nights </em>to the foundation of the modern novel inaugurated with Cervantes´ <em>Don Quijote, </em>in as much as both works of art are able to explode all literary genres in one single work of art, incorporating, once again, reality into the work of fiction and the point of view of endless narrators.

<span>Shahrazad wanted to have a variety. Sticking to one genre is great. But if you have a variety it'll make the readers moor inclined to read your books. He most likely wanted his readers to have this variety. The fact that he was able to do this is a huge accomplishment. As most readers only stick to one genre</span>

polet [3.4K]

Answer: associate the cereal with something good and create positive feelings about the cereal.

The media technique of association refers to the practice of linking the product you are promoting with positive ideas, so that consumers associate the two in their mind. This is what you should do in your campaign in order for it to be effective. An ad slogan is meant to be a catchy, easy to remember phrase. It does not need to explain what the cereal is or to provide information about its contents.

The tone of the poem is stern and instructive. The speaker gives advice to children about good and bad habits. He encourages them to pick up good habits by saying that they are characteristic of great people. He also warns them that if they pick up bad habits, they will be disliked as adults. He uses words such as "Cruel children," "crying babies," and “geese and gabies” to create a negative image of bad children. Through these negative images he encourages children to avoid bad habits.

2. If Mr. Sakota had asked the woman why she came at
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Given that she's a ghost, she probably wouldn't have answered at all.

Explanation:

The question refers to a Japanese story from Hokkaido named <em>The Loving Mother. </em>It tells us about Mr. Sakota, a pharmacist, who received a strange visit by a disheveled woman asking him for baby medicine at midnight. The same thing happens a couple of nights in a row which makes Mr. Sakota suspicious. He has a friend snap a photo of her but when they look at the photo, there is no one in it. The final night, they follow her to a room where a baby is crying next to a dead woman who happens to be the mysterious visitor.

If Mr. Sakota had asked the woman why she came at midnight, given that she is a ghost, she probably wouldn't have answered at all but maybe showed him the way to follow her.
