In the novel “<em>Nectar in a Sieve</em>” by Kamala Markandaya (1954), one of the main themes is the contrast between the tradition (Part 1) and the modern (Part 2), or the rural life and the city life. While <u>Part 1</u> takes place in an unnamed village in rural India, <u>Part 2</u> takes place in an unnamed major city in urban India. The author used imagery throughout the novel in order to call the reader’s attention. This technique is used <u>to represent objects, actions, and ideas in a way that it appeals to the reader’s physical senses</u>. For example, Markandaya used onomatopoeia together with imagery in the following passage “<em>… a click-clank of stone on stone with intermittent dull explosions</em>”. Water is also an example of imagery in the novel, since the patterns of the rain portray Rukmani’s view of the world and the balance of certainty and uncertainty, the good times and the bad ones.  Moreover, water was also an important element in <u>Nathan’s death</u> and <u>for the women</u>.

what is the primary lesson that wiesel teaches us in night? choose specific characters and scenes which convey this lesson
meriva
Wiesel's primary purpose for teaching Night is to show the horrors of the Holocaust so that the world will never forget and make the same mistake again. In chapter one of the novel, Wiesel repeatedly shows how the citizens of Sighet ignored signs of the Nazi occupation. He explains how they downplayed what was happening to them when they were forced to wear the star and officers were quartered in their homes. He wants the world to remember how easily it is for atrocities to occur when people do nothing. When remembering his first night in camp, Wiesel writes, "Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, that turned my life into one long night seven times sealed. Never shall I forget that smoke. Never shall I forget the small faces of the children whose bodies I saw transformed into smoke under a silent sky...Never shall I forget those things, even were I condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never." The repetition of "Never shall I forget" pleads with the reader to remember as well as emphasizes the horrors. Remember the horrors of the Holocaust and never repeat them.

Andrei [34K]

The purpose of this passage is to provide instructions on how to make tortillas; therefore it is an instructive type of text. One of the most common types of instructive texts is recipes. Recipes indicate step by step how to make a specific food. In this example, we can see how sequence connectors “next” and “finally” add cohesion to the text and relates the previous step with the other.
