If I remember correctly, the traditional plot structure is exposition (introducing the character and settings), rising action (introducing the problem), Climax (the most important part of the story), falling action (when everything is being resolved), and lastly denouement (the ending).

Question 6 (Essay Worth 20 points)



Read "The Tortoise and the Hare." What is the Hare thinking about while he's asleep? In a paragraph of at least three sentences, write a dream sequence to add to the fable.

A Hare was one day making fun of a Tortoise for being so slow upon his feet. "Wait a bit," said the Tortoise; "I'll run a race with you, and I'll wager that I win." "Oh, well," replied the Hare, who was much amused at the idea, "let's try and see"; and it was soon agreed that the fox should set a course for them, and be the judge. When the time came both started off together, but the Hare was soon so far ahead that he thought he might as well have a rest: so down he lay and fell fast asleep. Meanwhile the Tortoise kept plodding on, and in time reached the goal. At last the Hare woke up with a start, and dashed on at his fastest, but only to find that the Tortoise had already won the race.

Answer 23

Ooo, I love this story. <3

Answer 26

Answer 27

thats wat i been trying to look up but i still have trouble on it

Answer 28

"A dream sequence is a technique used in storytelling, particularly in television and film, to set apart a brief interlude from the main story. The interlude may consist of a flashback, a flashforward, a fantasy, a vision, a dream, or some other element."

Answer 29

ooooooo

Answer 30

Ohhh
Wait, nvm.
I'm supposed to form the story as if it were a dream. c'x

Answer 31

yea :P

Answer 32

Okayy~
Let's say the hare's ego was created by its fast hopping.
Now, the hare one day bumped into a green tortoise. As the hare judged the poor tortoise on how slow the green creature was, he got tired and decided to take a nap.

Answer 33

Immediately, the hare fell asleep and dreamed. He landed in a beautiful garden where there were flowers scattered everywhere and so many beautiful creatures. Admiring the garden, the hare turns around to notice the slow tortoise. Once again, judging the tortoise, he demanded a race. Quickly, the fox set up a course so both, the hare and tortoise can race. As they lined up, the fox yelled "Ready? Set? Go!" The hare hopped and ran and danced. Whilst in the middle of the course, he noticed the tortoise was far behind. The hare laughed a flopped. The tortoise, smiling, doubled its velocity and ran past the giggling hare and reached the finish line in seconds. Watching this, the hare jumped up trying to catch on to the tortoise, but it was too late. Crying, the hare begged for a rematch. The tortoise happily said, "You should never judge a book by its cover." Minutes later, the hare awoke and promised to never judge anyone again.

Answer 42

Read this excerpt from Little Brother and answer the following questions in complete sentences using proper grammar and punctuation:

Marcus manages to flag down a vehicle and they get more than they bargained for…

It was a military-looking Jeep, like an armored Hummer, only it didn't have any military insignia on it. The car skidded to a stop just in front of me, and I jumped back and lost my balance and ended up on the road. I felt the doors open near me, and then saw a confusion of booted feet moving close by. I looked up and saw a bunch of military-looking guys in coveralls, holding big, bulky rifles and wearing hooded gas masks with tinted face-plates.

I barely had time to register them before those rifles were pointed at me. I'd never looked down the barrel of a gun before, but everything you've heard about the experience is true. You freeze where you are, time stops, and your heart thunders in your ears. I opened my mouth, then shut it, then, very slowly, I held my hands up in front of me.

The faceless, eyeless armed man above me kept his gun very level. I didn't even breathe. Van was screaming something and Jolu was shouting and I looked at them for a second and that was when someone put a coarse sack over my head and cinched it tight around my windpipe, so quick and so fiercely I barely had time to gasp before it was locked on me. I was pushed roughly but dispassionately onto my stomach and something went twice around my wrists and then tightened up as well, feeling like baling wire and biting cruelly. I cried out and my own voice was muffled by the hood.

I was in total darkness now and I strained my ears to hear what was going on with my friends. I heard them shouting through the muffling canvas of the bag, and then I was being impersonally hauled to my feet by my wrists, my arms wrenched up behind my back, my shoulders screaming.

I stumbled some, then a hand pushed my head down and I was inside the Hummer. More bodies were roughly shoved in beside me.

"Guys?" I shouted, and earned a hard thump on my head for my trouble. I heard Jolu respond, then felt the thump he was dealt, too. My head rang like a gong.

"Hey," I said to the soldiers. "Hey, listen! We're just high school students. I wanted to flag you down because my friend was bleeding. Someone stabbed him." I had no idea how much of this was making it through the muffling bag. I kept talking. "Listen—this is some kind of misunderstanding. We've got to get my friend to a hospital—"

Someone went upside my head again. It felt like they used a baton or something—it was harder than anyone had ever hit me in the head before. My eyes swam and watered and I literally couldn't breathe through the pain. A moment later, I caught my breath, but I didn't say anything. I'd learned my lesson.



In three to five sentences, summarize the conflict Marcus is facing in this excerpt.

Answer 43

Woah, that's long. <.<

Answer 44

Answer 45

Well, that was a strange and creepy story. <.<

Answer 46

Marcus is terrified because guns were being pointed at him and he was kidnapped, I believe. He is also worried because he wants his friend to go to the hospital. Finally, he is hurt because he was hit on the head harder than before.

Answer 47
