Lesechka [4]

Answer:

present-tense narration

Explanation:

In present-tense narration, there is a sense of urgency used because it is used to tell a story that is happening in-the--moment thereby giving the reader a sense of immediacy.

In "Spanish Dancer" by Rainer Maria RIlke, this style of narration is employed thus:

<u>"And all at once it is completely fire. </u>

<u> One upward glance and she ignites her hair </u>

<u>and, whirling faster and faster, fans her dress </u>

<u>into passionate flames, till it becomes a furnace </u>

<u>from which, like startled rattlesnakes, the long </u>

<u>naked arms uncoil, aroused and clicking."</u>
