OpenStudy (uh60blackhawk):

what answers can you knock out

OpenStudy (i<3mybaby):

Well I do not believe that she was confidante

OpenStudy (uh60blackhawk):

we are talking about salma not mariona

OpenStudy (uh60blackhawk):

mariona is not cofidante because mariona keep on getting bullied off the course.

OpenStudy (i<3mybaby):

Right.... and I don't think she is a foil

OpenStudy (uh60blackhawk):

yes that is true. so do you think she is protagonist?

OpenStudy (i<3mybaby):

Yes kind of

OpenStudy (uh60blackhawk):

wait protagonist is someone that helps out right?

OpenStudy (uh60blackhawk):

never mind yes she is a protagonist because she helped out mariona, telling her to talk to the judge and to her coach

OpenStudy (i<3mybaby):

No that is not she isn't that and so I'm honestly thinking A. !

OpenStudy (uh60blackhawk):

its either a or d

OpenStudy (uh60blackhawk):

because she could of been helping mariona out by tell her to talk to the judge and coach. But by doing that it shows salma that she is confident.

OpenStudy (i<3mybaby):

We ruled out c and is she dynamic

OpenStudy (uh60blackhawk):

dynamic character means: a literary or dramatic character who undergoes an important inner change

OpenStudy (uh60blackhawk):

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/dynamic+character

OpenStudy (i<3mybaby):

Right so that means those 2 r out

OpenStudy (uh60blackhawk):

yes that is correct.

OpenStudy (i<3mybaby):

And she isn't the main character so she is A! :)

OpenStudy (uh60blackhawk):

we can knock out foil because foil mean preventing success but salma is not trying to prevent her friend from succeeding .

OpenStudy (i<3mybaby):

Right and Marion is the main character so Salema isn't d

OpenStudy (uh60blackhawk):

so yes we can say salma is not a main character because Mariona is the main character.

OpenStudy (uh60blackhawk):

so we can say salma is confident.

OpenStudy (i<3mybaby):

Yay! So can I post another q or do I have to make a new post??

OpenStudy (uh60blackhawk):

OpenStudy (i<3mybaby):
