Answers

Answer 1

Answer: B Bill is traumatized by the boy  attempting to scalp him in his sleep.

Explanation:

In the short story, The Ransom of Red Chief, Bill Driscoll and the Narrator kidnapped a little boy who Bill called Red Chief as a joke because the boy was very spirited and had red hair. They wanted to make a quick ransom from the boy's father and use it in a real estate deal.

They did not know however, just how stubborn the boy was and the morning after they had kidnapped him, Bill was woken up by the boy sitting on his chest ready to scalp him because the boy thought they were playing a game of Indian. Bill was so traumatized that he never slept the entire time they were with the boy.

What is  character?

A character in fiction is a person or other object that appears in a story. The distinction between a "real" and "fictional" character may be made depending on whether the character is wholly imaginary or is based on a real-life person.

The English word, which comes from the Ancient Greek, was first used during the Restoration, however it gained popularity after Henry Fielding used it in Tom Jones in 1749.

This led to the development of the concept of "a part played by an actor." Character entails "the illusion of being a human person," especially when performed by an actor in a play or movie.

Characters in literature lead readers through their stories, assisting them in comprehending narratives and considering issues. The term "in character" has been used to describe a successful impersonation by an actor since the end of the 18th century.

What are the characteristics of absurdist literature

Answers

Answer:

Common elements in absurdist fiction include satire, dark humor, incongruity, the abasement of reason, and controversy regarding the philosophical condition of being "nothing." Absurdist fiction in play form is known as Absurdist Theatre.

Satire, black humour, incongruity, the debasement of reason, and debate over the philosophical state of being "nothing" are all common components in absurdist fiction. Absurdist Theatre is the term for absurdist fiction presented as a play.

What does absurdist mean in literature?

Absurdist fiction is a subgenre of writing that explores subjects like existentialism and the human condition through non-chronological storytelling, surrealism, and humour.

The reader is left to make the majority of the character and action judgments in absurdist writing. Additionally, the story's "moral" is frequently vague, and any character realizations are frequently confusing in nature.

The use of absurdity as a literary device allows authors to explore aspects of the universe that defy logic. It explores issues of meaning and existence, and writers frequently employ absurdist themes, characters, or plots to query the very existence of structure or meaning.

Thus, Satire, black humour, incongruity, the debasement of reason, and debate.

Paula needs to understand the importance of a balanced diet and the nutrients found in healthy vegetables. Because vegetables are rich in proteins, minerals, and carbohydrates they make her intelligent, sharper, and also stronger to live a healthy life.

What is Balance Diet?

Human body receives the nutrients it needs to function properly from a balanced diet. The body is more vulnerable to illness, infection, weariness, and poor performance without a balanced diet. Lack of nutritious diets may cause growth and developmental issues, poor academic performance, and recurrent infections in children.

Further fruit, vegetables, legumes (such as lentils and beans), nuts, and whole grains are all components of a balanced diet (e.g. unprocessed maize, millet, oats, wheat and brown rice).

However non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and other health issues are exacerbated by diets heavy in sugar, saturated and trans fats, low fiber foods, and high-sugar beverages. These health concerns are increased when processed and fast food are consumed frequently.

Therefore, Paula needs to understand the importance of vegetables, in daily human life.
