Answer 1

What class is this for?

Answer 2

this is for english 3

Answer 3

2. i would say a. through a character's actions we see what their goals are what kind of person they are... example could be like, a guy volunteers in his community often so he must feel charitable... you get the idea
3. between A and B, i lean more towards A. the color red for example, someone might see it as a symbol of love while i might see it as a symbol of anger
4. not so sure about this one... but i would guess C. a universal theme could just be the good guy beating the evil guy; people understand it

Answer 4

I think also for 2. could be A. cause i found this in my class.
The last part of the universal (or the collective unconscious) is theme. Theme is more complex than character and symbol, so you will need to dig a bit deeper into what you know about life to identify and analyze the theme in literature.

Answer 5

also for 4. idk maybe can be right...
universal theme. These are themes that many people can relate to for a number of reasons, whether it's because they incorporate common life experiences or are simply concepts of human nature that most readers can understand. Universal themes allow readers to connect to the story emotionally.

Some of the more common universal themes found in literature include individual struggle towards a personal goal, a person's struggle with humanity, falling in love, life cycles, karma, coping with tragedy, adolescence and discovering the world around us. These are universally understood by a majority of readers due to how easily they can be applied to their own lives.

Answer 6
