MEDAL!
Read this excerpt from "The Diamond Necklace": "The girl was one of those pretty and charming young creatures who sometimes are born, as if by a slip of fate, into a family of clerks. She had no dowry, no expectations, no way of being known, understood, loved, married by any rich and distinguished man; so she let herself be married to a little clerk of the Ministry of Public Instruction." What is the benefit of beginning a narrative with a description of a key character? It creates an expectation of the change that will take place during the narrative. It allows the writer to focus on the issues that will be at play in the action of the story. It makes the reader aware of the key actors in the unfolding narration. It keeps the writer focused on only the most important aspects of the narrative.
what you say...?
I think C?
id say D
I'm pretty sure it would be D. Okay, so the excerpt is basically saying that the woman is NOT meant to be associated with the lower class of clerks. She is pretty, charming, and pretty much too good for the life that she was born into. She had no high expectations for anything, including the man she was to be married to. She deserved a rich husband, but let herself wed a clerk. A and B is ruled out,so you would be correct.So, the answer is either C or D. It never said that the girl ever wanted anything,so it cannot be C.
