Read the excerpt from "How the Grimm Brothers Saved the Fairy Tale." This first edition is wholly unlike the so-called definitiv

e edition of 1857. In the process of publishing seven different editions over forty years, the Grimms made vast changes in the contents and style. The stories in the first edition are closer to the oral tradition than the tales of the final, which can be regarded more as a literary collection, because Wilhelm, the younger brother, continually honed the tales so that they would resonate with a growing literary public. Their books would become second in popularity only to the Bible in German-speaking lands. By the twentieth century, they would become the most famous collection of folk and fairy tales in the western world. What is the author's purpose in writing this paragraph? to entertain the reader with tales from the Grimms' youth to convince the reader that the Grimms' books are popular to inform the reader of the reasons for the differences between editions to explain the roles of famous folk and fairy tales in the Western world

The author's purpose in writing this paragraph is to inform the reader of the reasons for the differences between editions given the fact that the Grimm brothers, specially the younger one, wanted to change and perfect the original tales in their style to a more suitable public regarding literature back then.

The answer is: to inform the reader of the reasons for the differences between editions.

The author is presenting here a brief and condensed history of the tales written by the Grimm brothers and making it known to the reader that the reasons for their work having as much as seven editions is that throughout their lifetimes, the Grimm brothers strived to achieve a product of a higher literary quality that could resonate more vividly amongst their literary public, which they seem to have accomplished successfully since their stories were only second in popularity to the Bible in Germany.

<em>Which sentence in this excerpt from President Richard Nixon's speech "The Great Silent Majority" contains the thesis statement? </em>

<em>The correct answer is: Let us all understand that the question before us is not whether some Americans are for peace and some Americans are against peace. The question at issue is not whether Johnson's war becomes Nixon's war. The great question is: How can we win America’s peace?   </em>

  • <em>This sentence contains the thesis statement. The topic is, “How can we win America’s peace?” And how does President Nixon control the ideas of his thesis? First, he says what the question is not, he says that it is not about who is against or in favor of peace, or who started Vietnam War. When Nixon says what the question is not, helps us in being more objective with the topic, he urges not to fall into the misconceptions of the topic and to focus on what really matters: “How can we win America’s peace?” In addition, when Nixon says what the question is not, he is reflecting his opinion, or judgment.  </em>

1. Write a story that ends in "I've never found such a kind person ever<br>since".<br>​
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

I’d never believe the day I would find someone so kind like this one person. On a Sunday morning I decided to go to a park for some fresh air, as I got there I noticed a puppy who looked homeless. As I took a closer look I saw a stranger walk up to the puppy and give it some food and water, it was a small gesture but it must’ve meant a lot to the puppy. Not many people do that in my town so I could tell that the stranger had a heart of gold! I’ve never found such a kind person ever since.

Mark Twain once advised that writers should “use the right word, not its second cousin.” How is this advice related to the use o
nadya68 [22]
Even though synonyms generally share the same meaning, they might not apply in the same context. So, if you want to use one specific word you should do that instead of trying to find a synonym that doesn't quite fit into the context you've established. An example is if you want to use the sentence "I was mad", meaning "I was angry", you could look for a synonym. One synonym is "absurd". However, this is a different type of mad, meaning crazy instead of meaning angry. "I was absurd" has an entirely different meaning than originally intended. This is why you should always double check the contextual meaning of the synonym you want to use.
