Question

#44 English 11A final exam. help please.

Answer 1

What's the question?

Answer 2

"You can't cut characters off rom their society and say much about them as individuals."
"You can't say anything meaningful about the mystery of personality unless you put that personality in a believable and significant social context."
Consider the quotations above. Then pick a story from semester A and evaluate how the social context and the characters work together not only to provide a vivid setting, but also to help explain and develop the characters' thoughts, words, and actions.

Answer 11

Another one is "The Lemon Tree Billiard House"

Answer 12

Answer 13

Bits and pieces. I honestly don't even remember what went on. I'm terrible at this. :(

Answer 14

I just need an answer. Or something to get me started!

Answer 15

k

Answer 16

can you help me out?

Answer 17

you could start out by picking a story(:

Answer 18

well yeah! I was thinking "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge".

Answer 19

@SuperflyTyGuy you there?

Answer 20

that's good and then look at the story and see how the social context and characters work together. like, look at the social context then the characters and once you start to realize how they work together you can write that down as part of your essay so your teacher can see that you actually did the work. and once you're done piecing together how they go together. bam, you already have a paragraph or two and then you just keep going.

Answer 21

yes but i'm trying to find the story that will fit your quote

Answer 22

oh alright! (: and @Liv1234 I don't have my book with me.

Answer 23

what you should do is look through the whole question. answer each part of the question one part at a time. so you should start out by saying "i've decided to pick this story by whoever wrote it" and then go on to the next part which is about the social context and the characters, after you're done with that part go on to the next part which would be to explain the vivid setting and then to help to explain and develop the character's thoughts and words and actions.

Answer 24

i hope that somewhat makes sense lol. I've learned that if there is a question within questions I do the first part of the question and just go on to the next part and then at the end i just finish up by summarizing my whole answer/essay together.(:

Answer 25

Yeah it does. thanks

Answer 26

@savane0621

Answer 27

Do you know what each of these quoted mean, Gabby?

Answer 28

In a way, yes! I think I have a good idea about what the first one is trying to say

Answer 29

I'm still stuck on my question. I have two essay questions left ugh

Answer 30

great!

Answer 31

I think its basically saying that in a story, you can't just bring in a character and say anything about them without giving information about them or where they are or a setting. not sure if im right though :/

Answer 32

its confusing though

Answer 33

do you think you could help me and start off with something that I finsish the answer with.

Answer 34

You're right! You have to know their background in order to know about themselves. You know any story that can fit that quote?

Answer 35

noo. I don't. otherwise I wouldn't be on here right now haha. do you know any stories?

Answer 36

This would be so much easier if I actually knew of a story that fits that quote.

Answer 37

Well I haven't read these story, no. What's the Lemon Tree Billiard House about?

Answer 38

no idea. that one was so stupid.

Answer 39

hold on

Answer 40

Answer 42
