A critic should always tell his readers the details of the plot. True False

OpenStudy (anonymous):

true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A critic should read a story more than once in order to write about it. True False

OpenStudy (mikkel900):

The aim of a critique is to judge a work, not to spoil it for people who has not read it before. Therefore, I do not agree with @nono266 that the answer is true! It may be true that the critic should give some information about the plot, but it would definitely be wrong for him to give away the entire plot, because then there is no point in reading the book.. I'd say false, but I am not entirely sure. I question myself when people think differently.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I agree with you, @mikkel900

OpenStudy (mikkel900):

Thank You, Princess! For your second question, I think it would be useful for a critic to read the work multiple times. The same way that you notice a lot of extra details if you watch a movie more than once. It may not strictly be required, but most certainly useful for him to read it more than once, so my guess is that it's True.

A literary device is an unusual twist of plot, character, or way of telling a story that makes it interesting to the reader. True False

OpenStudy (mikkel900):

A literary device can be many things. Regarding the plot, it can be a cliffhanger, to character it can be personification, to theme it can be the use of irony. I am not entirely sure I understand the question - but with this knowledge of literary devices, I hope you can make a choice, Princess.

Hm. I was trying to look it up. I can't find a definite answer, but it seems to be Mark Twain. I will continue looking, and correct myself if I find anything else! Feel free to post more, Princess.
