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>.

Brums [2.3K]

Since the very beginning of the sentence, the phrase <em>last night</em> indicates that the action in the sentence was performed in the past. In other words, the action described in the sentence has already happened. For this reason, the verb that completes the sentence with the appropiate verb tense has to be a verb in past tense. Thus, the correct answer is revised, which is the only verb from the list that is in past tense.

Finger [1]

In stanza seven, comparing mice and humans, the author Robert Burns suggests that foresight and planning the future can go wrong for everyone, either mice or humans.

However, in the final stanza Burns still considers the mouse fortunate, because it is only aware of the present moment. It is a human attribute to look at the past and to fear what the future has to bring.
