1. How would you describe the tone and purpose of these excerpts from McNeil's oral history?

Setler [38]

Answer:

the tone used in McNeil's oral history is confessional and the purpose seems to be that by making simple, humble statements the narrator is able to present his own morality and his struggles in statements and not as pleadings.

Explanation:

these excerpts are from a narrator who comes from a marginalized community engaging in a protest against the government. this kind of oration is known as deceptively simple.

on the surface, the text seems uninviting and simplistic. but the layer of rebellion is subdued by the matter of factly tone to become more of a defiance to which the common person can easily identify and sympathize with. It also shows the strength of the narrator by not betraying their emotions to the reader.

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

C: She wishes to calm Mary and cover up her own lack of composure.

Explanation:

Jane Austen's "Persuasion" revolves around the life of a young woman named Anne Elliot and her struggles with family, love, and friendship. The novel deals with the common themes of social status, class rigidity, marriage, and one's profession as deemed 'fit' in a society.

In the given passage from the text, Mary revealed she saw Mr. Elliot and Mrs. Clay together which Anne denied for Mr. Elliot "was to leave Bath at nine this morning, and does not come back till to-morrow." But when Mary insisted it was them, Anne had no choice but to go and see for herself. She did it mainly to calm Mary and also to hide her embarrassment in not knowing what is really going on or who Mr. Elliot really is.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
