Direct characterization is when the author specifically tells the reader the traits of a character. In this excerpt, Dickens tells you that the woman is elderly, wise, experienced and knows what is "good for children". If Dickens had used indirect characterization, he would have need to shown her wisdom and experience by including specific examples. The reader would then be lead to develop his own conclusion about the whether or not the woman was wise and experienced.

Identify the structure of each of the following sentences. use simple and complex, compound, compound

Law Incorporation [45]

Explanation:

Note, a simple sentence refers to a sentence having only one clause, with a single subject and predicate. While a clause is a group of words that contains a verb and may form part of a sentence or complete a sentence.

Examples;

3. Often, organic food products are marketed as the healthier and safer food choice.
8. Before the 20th century, all food was organic.

A complex sentence is one that contains an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. The independent clause can stand on his own, dependent cannot stand (or make meaning) on its own.

Examples;

2. Organic foods are produced without man-made pesticides and chemical fertilizers.
6. Organic food sales have grown immensely over the last decade, and most traditional grocery stores now carry organic foods.

A compound sentence contains at least two independent clauses joined by a comma, semicolon, or conjunction.

Examples;

4. Skeptics of organic foods believe that the natural pesticides used in organic farming may be just as harmful as man-made pesticides.
5. Many people believe that organic foods are too expensive, but others believe that the health benefits of eating organic foods outweigh the expense.
9. Whether or not you chose to eat organic foods, you should maintain a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

A compound-complex sentence has at least two independent clauses and one or more dependent clauses.

Examples;

7. Advocates of organic foods claim that organic farming is better for the environment; however, skeptics say that organic farming is not sustainable because it requires more land than traditional farming.
10. Buying fruits and vegetables in season, avoiding salty and sugary foods, and practicing moderation in eating can go a long way toward leading a healthy lifestyle.

Gonzalo: I have great comfort from this fellow: methinks he hath no drowning-mark upon him; his complexion is perfect gallows. S

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

(i) The person being referred to in this extract is Boatswain.

Boatswain is a character in Shakespeare's "The Tempest" who appears not more than twice in the play. His job is to run the ship during the tempest. He is a senior crew member, who overseas the deck crew, manages the ship's lines and sails, and the anchors

(II) Gonzalo happens to be is a fictional character in William Shakespeare's Play. A counselor to the King. From the play, it is clear that Boatswain had hurt his pride:

First by ignoring his question about the where about of the king twice.

Second, by speaking to him in a derogatory manner regardless of his position. Botswain had asked him to use his political powers which at that time was useless against the storm to save them or get out of the way. He was practically ordered to get back into his Cabin. See this excerpt:

Boatswain

When the sea is. Hence! What cares these roarers

for the name of king? To cabin: silence! trouble us not.

So, Gonzalo with a lot of hurt but care for his own life retreats into his cabin below the deck as he does so wishes that Boatswain will save the ship so that everyone is saved including himself but moreso that he will have the opportunity to hang him when the ship got to land.

So Gonzalo derives great comfort for two reasons:

because based on his estimation of the situation, the ship will not sink under the administration of Boatswain because he is an expert at what he does. He actually prays to Fate to ensure that he does not sink the ship.
If the ship will not sink, then he (Gonzalo) will have the opportunity to mete out the punishment which he strongly wanted for Boatswain for his insolence and derogatory manners towards him.

See the part where he prays to Fate to ensure that the Boatswain is successful in his enterprise:

"Standfast good Fate, to his hanging! make the rope of his destiny our cable, for our own doth little advantage. If he be not born to be hanged, our case if miserable.

If there was a chance that the ship will sink, that meant that he would have to die

horribly along with Boatswain by drowning
without a chance to redeem his pride.

Cheers!
