Read this passage from the Ramayana by R. K. Narayan. At this point in the epic, the King has consented to let Rama accompany the sage, but is not
happy about it. How is the cultural context of the Ramayana NOT like our own culture?
The King looked woebegone and desperate, and the sage relented enough to utter a word of comfort. "You cannot count on the physical proximity of
someone you love, all the time. A seed that sprouts at the foot of its parent tree remains stunted until it is transplanted. Rama will be in my care, and
he will be quite well. But ultimately, he will leave me too. Every human being, when the time comes, has to depart and seek his fulfillment in his own
way."

Respected Sir:
I, a resident of Model Town Extension, on behalf of the residents of the area, write to your esteemed self to request you to look into the problem of inadequate water supply. The mercury has gone beyond 40° Celsius; the heat wave has been very intense. Water is the only source of relief in such an oppressive weather. However, the harsh reality is water supply is not only poor, but also erratic! As a result the residents of Model Town Extension have been facing severe water shortage for many weeks. Housewives don't have enough water for washing, cooking, cleaning, etc. The residents are forced to make alternative arrangements for water supply by hiring water tankers. We have already written letters to Water Supply Department but to no avail. Meanwhile the Municipality is able to provide permanent water supply, potable water can be supplied to the colony through portable tankers.
I on behalf of all the residents appeal to you to look into the problem and relieve us of the inconvenience we have been facing. We shall be exceedingly thankful for the prompt solution to our distress.
Thank you,
Yours truly,

how can the author's use of similes help to communicate a message to the reader? (Four sentences)
Answer:
Simile - a kind of description. A simile compares two things so that the thing described is understood more vividly, eg 'The water was as smooth as glass. A simile can create a vivid image in the reader's mind, helping to engage and absorb them.Generally, a writer uses similes to enable the reader to imagine in his mind what the writer is saying. This is why a writer compares one thing to another with which the reader is familiar. The speaker compares his love to a red rose that has just bloomed.Writers often use similes to introduce concrete images (like boxes of chocolates) into writing about abstract concepts (like life). Readers are more explicitly aware of the direct comparison that's being made with a simile compared to a metaphor, which is often more poetic and subtle.

knowledge about what is happening in more than one place at once
Answer:
ITS (A). the use of the pronouns “they” and “she”
(E). thoughts and feelings of both Lizzie and Turner
Explanation:
The use of the pronouns she and he and the use of thoughts and feelings of both Turner and Lizzie are some clues that the narrator's point of view is third-person omniscient, hence option A and E are correct.
What is third-person omniscient?The term "third-person omniscient" describes a certain narrative style and point of view. The narrator is not participating in the plot, which is true of all third-person narration.
This is very different from the first person narration, in which the main character tells the tale.
In this passage from a book by American author Gary D. Schmidt, who also writes for children and young adults, we can see that the narrator uses the third-person singular pronouns he and she.
Turner isn't aware of all of Lizzie's actions, but the narrator is, proving that the narrator is omniscient.
Therefore, option A and E are correct.

________ is a brief introduction of yhe book by the author
The worst author introduction I ever saw is making me cringe, right now, as I remember it. The co-owner of the bookstore started by reading through the store’s upcoming events flier, pausing to on each event. This took a full 10 minutes. Then she spent 5 minutes talking about the plight of independent bookstores, and how they need money to do things like community book nights, and hey she’s got this newsletter sign-up sheet that she’s going to pass around. And while we’re at it, the store actually has two different email newsletters that they send out, and she described them both in great detail. Another sign-up sheet is passed around.
Having already wasted close to 20 minutes of our time, she launched into a synopsis of the book, interspersed with her own impressions, leaving no secondary character or minor scene unnamed. Worst of all, the book has a rather large twist in the second half, and she was explicitly hinting at what it is. Someone in the audience actually yelled out, “Don’t give it away!” This was advice she did not take.
This is an extreme example, by far the worst I’ve ever seen, but author introduction crimes are rampant. I was recently at a literary festival where at least 10 of the roughly 15 author introductions I saw were painful to sit through. I take this issue seriously because I was an author events coordinator at Brookline Books Mith for two years, and we took pride in our author introductions. The willingness and ability to carefully craft a good author introduction, in fact, was part of my job interview.
Author introductions, in my opinion, are about courtesy. Should a beloved, Pulitzer Prize-winning author have to hear the president of Northwestern’s Jewish students’ society call him Michael Sha-BONE eight times in two minutes? No. Because he flew across the country to speak for 50 minutes in your overheated auditorium and you have the internet. A good author introduction shows the author that you’re excited to be a partner in promoting their work and that you value the role their career plays on the literary stage, all while being informative and – lord have mercy – brief.
How To Introduce an Author
Step 1. Find Out Who the Author Is
Get your details straight. Look up the pronunciation of their name, even if you think you know it. If a definitive answer is elusive, ask their publicist, agent, or whoever set up the event with you. Otherwise, ask the author when they arrive, before you hit the microphone with some garbled version of .
cover
out what books they’ve written. Don’t say that Stay Awake is Dan Chaon’s fifth novel. He’s written two novels, but this is his third story collection. Do you think A History of Love is Nicole Krauss’s first book? Wrong! Look it up. If you find yourself introducing someone like Michael , who’s written novels, short stories, essays, comic books, and children’s books, just avoid taxonomy and say he’s prolific.
Find out what awards they’ve won, where they teach (currently), and what periodicals they write for. More on this later.
you haven’t had time to do your research, don’t guess, and definitely don’t — as I saw someone do last weekend — turn to Kevin Brock Meier in the middle of your introduction and say “Is The View From the Seventh Layer a novel?” I shudder.
Step 2. Weed Out Unnecessary/Unimpressive Details
So you’ve printed out the author’s Wikipedia entry. Don’t include the fact that they teach creative writing part-time at Eastern Nevada State. Don’t mention that they won the Central North Carolina Writer’s Prize. Don’t say that they were included on Entertainment Weekly’s 100 Authors to Watch list.
These details do two things — they make the author look small-time, and they give the impression that you’re desperate for any scrap of information to fill out your introduction.
Which Brings Us to Step 3. Include Personal Impressions
Personal impressions of the author’s work should be the bulk of your introduction. Ideally, they will be your personal impressions. During my first year as an events coordinator, I read each author’s book before I hosted their event, a unnecessary gesture with enormous dividends.
Firstly, it is yet another step you can take to avoid looking like an idiot. The room is full of people who’ve most likely come to hear the author because they’ve read their work. It’s embarrassing when the person at the microphone is the

Read the poem "There Will Come Soft Rains".
There will come soft rain and the smell of the ground, And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;
And frogs in the pools singing at night, And wild plum trees in tremulous white;
Robins will wear their feathery fire, Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;
And not one will know of the war, not one Will care at last when it is done.
Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree, If mankind perished utterly;
And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn Would scarcely know that we were gone.
What are the details in the first half of the poem supposed to represent?

Read the two excerpts from act 3, scene 2, of Julius Caesar.
[BRUTUS.] If then that friend demand
why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer:
not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved
Rome more. Had you rather Caesar were living, and
die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live
all free men? As Caesar loved me, I weep for him.
As he was fortunate, I rejoice at it. As he was
valiant, I honour him. But as he was ambitious, I
slew him. There is tears for his love, joy for his
fortune, honour for his valour, and death for his
ambition. Who is here so base that would be a
bondman?
[ANTONY.] Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept.
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious,
And Brutus is an honourable man.
You all did see that on the Lupercal
I thrice presented him a kingly crown,
Which he did thrice refuse. Was this ambition?
Yet Brutus says he was ambitious,
And sure he is an honourable man.
Which statement best compares the two monologues?
Both Brutus and Antony ask rhetorical questions to make points.
Brutus describes Caesar’s generosity and compassion, while Antony describes his heartless nature.
Both Brutus and Antony describe Caesar’s weakness in battle.
Neither Brutus or Antony addresses the crowd directly.
Answer:
A) Both Brutus and Antony ask rhetorical questions to make points.
Explanation:
Brutus and Antony both ask rhetorical questions. Isn't it? "Would you rather Caesar live and all slaves die than Caesar die and all free men live? ...Who is a bondman here?" Asks Antony "Did Caesar appear ambitious? Was it a goal?"
The other choices are incorrect. Brutus' ambition is not positive. He says he killed Caesar for his ambition. He probably wouldn't have killed him if he valued ambition. They didn't mention Caesar's flaws. Using the pronoun "you" directly addresses the crowd.
Answer:
A) Both Brutus and Antony ask rhetorical questions to make points.

Which of the following statements supports the idea presented in this quote from the excerpt?
Were there not even these inducements to moderation, nothing could be more ill-judged than that intolerant spirit which has, at all times, characterized political parties.
Hamilton believed politician's narrow-mindedness would have a negative effect.
Hamilton generally disliked politicians even though he was one of them.
Hamilton had many reasons to entice politicians to be moderate in their negotiations.
Hamilton thought politicians were the last people who should be writing a new Constitution.
Answer:
The statement that supports the idea from the quoted excerpt is:
B. Hamilton feared that those tasked with creating the new constitution would oppose reforms that limited their power.
Explanation:
It is B because the excerpt mentioned that certain social class was resistant to accept the changes proposed because they were afraid that those changes could diminish their power.
The Answer would be:
A. Hamilton believed politician's narrow-mindedness would have a negative effect.
"Were there not even these inducements to moderation, nothing could be more ill-judged than that intolerant spirit which has, at all times, characterized political parties."

which narrator is most clearly omniscient
Answer:
B. The speaker felt his knees shaking. However, no one in the audience even knew he was nervous.
Explanation:
An omniscient narrator knows everything that happens before the story, during the story, after the story. The key pointer is the narrator knows every character's thoughts and feelings.
A. Vicente learned that opening a candy shop would be no easy task,
but that wouldn't stop him.
The narrator is only discussing Vicente's thoughts, so this could be first-person narration.
B. The speaker felt his knees shaking. However, no one in the
audience even knew he was nervous.
The narrator talks about the thoughts of both "the speaker" and the audience, so the narrator is omniscient.
C. "Stop, thief!" the guard shouted, but the thief was too quick and
made it over the castle walls.
This could be any third-person objective or limited narration. It's like similar to watching a movie; you aren't told what the characters are thinking.
D. Ting looked across the table and noticed the frown on her date's
face. Something must be wrong.
This could be first-person narration since we only know the thoughts for one character, Ting.

The speaker felt his knees shaking. However, no one in the audience even knew he was nervous.
