Which theme is best supported by this passage from My Antonia?

Sylvester dallied about Lena until he began to make mistakes in his work; had to stay at the bank until after dark to make his books balance. He was daft about her, and everyone knew it. To escape from his predicament he ran away with a widow six years older than himself, who owned a half-section. This remedy worked, apparently. He never looked at Lena again, nor lifted his eyes as he ceremoniously tipped his hat when he happened to meet her on the sidewalk.

A. Falling in love leads to making mistakes.
B. It is better to marry an older woman than an immigrant.
C. Following social conventions limits people’s lives.
D. You should be polite to people you once loved.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Following social conventions limits people’s lives.

Explanation:

Themes are the fundamental and often universal ideas explored in a literary work. The central narrative of My Ántonia is a look into the past, and though in his narration Jim rarely says anything directly about the idea of the past, the overall tone of the novel is highly nostalgic.

It’s a nice little phrase that says even if you don’t attain your original goal, you can still have success. It would probably be better for people to just say that, as the phrase doesn’t really make sense.

The single closest star to us is the sun, which is still many times further away than the moon.

The closest stars are in Alpha Centauri, 4 light years away.

If we applied the quote literally to how our universe is, it would be, “if you don’t hit your goal, you may eventually go much farther past it and do something even greater”.

I think more sensible sounding inspiration would just be that it’s better to try then not to try.

What do you think makes a good writer? How can you tell if something is written well?

I NEED EXAMPLES! GIVING BRAINLIEST!

Answers

Answer:

Good writers, like any good communicator, worry about one thing and one thing only: connecting their audience to the story. Good writers construct their writing in a way that's understood by their target audience. Big words, little words, made up words and even text speak are all up for grabs.something is well written if the writer has a specific message that they convey clearly and simply. At the end of the day, well-written is very subjective. You have the standards of correct grammar and syntax being the bare minimum. From there, you have effective conveyance of ideas, experiences, and emotions.

Examples to tell if someone is a good writer..

You don't mind being edited…in fact you think it's a good thing. ...

You read stuff on how to improve your writing (like this blog post) ...

You break the rules. ...

You don't wait to be inspired. ...

9. Explain your views of Mary Shelley’s decision to frame the story as she does: with Robert Walton’s narrative bookending the story told by Victor Frankenstein. Does this framing device improve the story or detract from it? How? In what ways does Walton’s character serve as a stand-in or surrogate for readers? In what ways are his views and reactions colored by his personal background and circumstances?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The frame to which the question refers, are the letters of Robert Walton, presented in the book "Frankenstein." In these letters Walton tells his sister about witnessing the creation of Victor Frankenstein. This enhances and improves the story, as it shows that the entire Victor Frankenstein narrative is real. That's because Victor Frankenstein's story of creating a man through pieces of dead people is very surreal and fanciful, but when Walton confirms that this actually happened, we can trust that Victor Frankenstein is telling the truth and not fantasizing in a crazy way. This is mainly due to the fact that Walton is also a science lover like Victor Frankenstein, but he is more rational and less eccentric, which allows the reader to trust that the story is true, even if he is suspicious of Victor Frankenstein.
