Cecily. Gwendolen, your common sense is invaluable. Mr. Moncrieff, kindly answer me the following question. Why did you pretend to be my guardian’s brother?

A phone call startles me out of a deep sleep. I sit up straight in bed, my heart pounding. "Hello?" "Hello, Kevin." I know his v

zaharov [31]

Answer and explanation:

The interior story, as the name suggests, is the story within another story. In this passage, the frame story is the speaker, Kevin, receiving a phone call from Matt, a friend he hasn't seen in almost ten years. The frame story is the one that involves the interior story. The interior story begins with the line '"Kevin, come inside!" my mother called.' This line separates the current moment from the moment the speaker is remembering - he and Matt playing outside; Kevin's mother calling him in. There is another story being told now, one about the past. But it is told as if it were happening at this moment. We have, from this moment on, an interior story.

Take a position in the debate over the literary canon and support it. Your answer should be at least one hundred words.

White raven [17]

It is known as a literary canon to the set of classic works that are part of high culture. These works, either because of their formal characteristics, their originality or their quality, have managed to transcend times and borders, becoming universal and always valid.

The criterion for choosing the works of the literary canon should be aesthetic excellence, but this concept is very subjective because what a person can consider attractive another person may find boring. On the other hand, those who limit themselves to consume the books established in the list of the canon lose the opportunity to know an endless number of works that could please them more, and even contribute more to them intellectually and emotionally.

It is true that it is important for students to know classical works of literature such as the odyssey, the divine comedy or more recent works as a hundred years of solitude, however, it is necessary not to marginalize other literary works equally good and profitable for students only because they are not on the list of the literary canon.

The current society has evolved, we no longer have the same thought that we had at the time when the classic works were written. A clear example of this is the role played by women in today's society, the importance of women was a taboo subject and little mentioned in many of the works that are in the list of the literary canon by which many schools are governed, and this can lead to students not exploring and understanding this important topic.

In conclusion, the literary canon is a list of classical works because of their importance at the time they were written and therefore it is important that students know them, because through these works they can understand the behavior and thought that people had in other times. However, it is equally important that students read recent works of current interest that allow them to compare current society with the old one, and the evolution that has occurred in the literature.
