characterization, and style of narration. Do any of these relate to one
another or to the theme.
send help guys!!!! thank you
Hi. You did not submit the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try and help as best I can.
To answer this question you will need to read all the text related to it. After doing this reading, you will then identify the theme of the text, which is the message, the lesson which the text wants to convey to the reader. The devices used in the text must be related to this theme, highlighting it and leaving it more profound and impactful.
In relation to artifices, the author will use irony when presenting a situation different from what was expected, a situation that is unexpected for the characters, but known by the reader, or even a situation that intends to criticize something in a jocular way. Symbolism will be presented in a text when the author seeks to convey meaning through objects and elements presented in the story. The paradox will be presented when the author presents two elements that contradict each other in the same element of the story.
The plot of a story corresponds to the whole story and the way it was organized. Character characterization can be direct (when the character's characteristics are presented directly by the narrator) or indirect (when the character's characteristics are presented in an indirect way, by the character's actions or behaviors). The narration style can be omniscient (when the narrator knows all the elements, situations, story events and thoughts of all the characters) or limited (when the narrator only knows some elements related to a character and the events that that character participates). The narration can also be in first person (when the narrator is a character in the story) or in third person (when the narrator is not a character, but an observer of the story).

Answer:
Do kools over miss their old nests?
Explanation:
The word, "Misgiving," means a feeling of doubt or apprehension about something. When the young girl observed the Asian Koels which are a breed of birds, she wondered if they ever missed their old nests.
This was a feeling of doubt that can be related to her own situation. Just like the Asian Koels that migrated from one end to another, the young girl might have reasoned that perhaps the Koels did miss their old nests just as she missed her former homes. Thus, she expressed her apprehension or doubt about the consequences of moving from one part of the world to another.
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
by Mark Twain (excerpt)
The old lady whirled round, and snatched her skirts out of danger. The lad fled on the instant, scrambled up the high board-fence, and disappeared over it.
His aunt Polly stood surprised a moment, and then broke into a gentle laugh.
"Hang the boy, can't I never learn anything? Ain't he played me tricks enough like that for me to be looking out for him by this time? But old fools is the biggest fools there is. Can't learn an old dog new tricks, as the saying is. But my goodness, he never plays them alike, two days, and how is a body to know what's coming? He 'pears to know just how long he can torment me before I get my dander up, and he knows if he can make out to put me off for a minute or make me laugh, it's all down again and I can't hit him a lick. I ain't doing my duty by that boy, and that's the Lord's truth, goodness knows. Spare the rod and spile the child, as the Good Book says. I'm a laying up sin and suffering for us both, I know. He's full of the Old Scratch, but laws-a-me! he's my own dead sister's boy, poor thing, and I ain't got the heart to lash him, somehow. Every time I let him off, my conscience does hurt me so, and every time I hit him my old heart most breaks. Well-a-well, man that is born of woman is of few days and full of trouble, as the Scripture says, and I reckon it's so. He'll play hookey this evening, and I'll just be obleeged to make him work, to-morrow, to punish him. It's mighty hard to make him work Saturdays, when all the boys is having holiday, but he hates work more than he hates anything else, and I've GOT to do some of my duty by him, or I'll be the ruination of the child."

Considering sacrificing the personal wishes for the sake of love the ultimate manifestation of true love is typical for the majority of writers, poets, and painters exploring the romantic themes. However, Paulo Coelho has managed to amaze the readers with a wholly new approach to exploring the nature of love and describing its role in the person’s life in his famous novel The Alchemist. Coelho demonstrates that while the love demanding the sacrifice of one’s dream is not true, the genuine love serves as a stimulus for living out the Personal Legend and achieving the happiness
The first lesson the reader learns about love while reading The Alchemist is that the wrong understanding of this feeling often becomes an obstacle on the way to the person’s pursuit of self-realization. The author shows that untrue love can stop the person from living the life full of meaning, which is essential for discovering the purpose of one’s. This step is crucial for the person’s ability to move to the next level of self-development. However, the author shows that the problem is related to people’s perception of love, not the feeling itself.
Coelho demonstrates that true love cannot prevent the person from realizing his/her dreams through the words of the alchemist: “You must understand that love never keeps a man from pursuing his destiny. If he abandons that pursuit, it’s because it wasn’t true love… the love that speaks the Language of the World” (Coelho 67). The main protagonist feels the temptation to leave his Personal Legend because of the feeling of affection towards a woman two times: after meeting the merchant’s daughter and after he falls in love with Fatima.
Though Santiago is not bounded with the merchant’s daughter by serious feelings, after meeting her he feels the desire to lead a purposeless life: “He recognized that he was feeling something he had never experienced before: the desire to live in one place forever” (Coelho 3). After meeting Fatima, the described desire appears to dominate Santiago’s plans one more time with even bigger power. Falling in love with Fatima motivates him to stay in the oasis and refuse from living his dream.
The Alchemist tells the boy that such decision will lead to the unhappiness of both Santiago and Fatima as he will regret refusing from a dream, and Fatima will feel the guilt for forcing him to do it. In such way, Coelho teaches the reader that refusing from a dream for the sake of love is the severely wrongful act. Though Santiago manages to overcome the temptation to leave his dream because of the affection and love towards a woman, the reader gets a clear impression that sacrificing one’s dream for love can be an obstacle on the way to one’s happiness and purposeful life.
Such position is unique in regard to world literature, as most writers describe the sacrifice of one’s dreams and wishes for the sake of love as the highest manifestation of true love. Coelho, on the contrary, reveals that such sacrifice serves as a proof of the untrue love, which can ruin the person’s happiness. Fatima also demonstrates the untraditional understanding of love.
While most female protagonists described in the literature strive for making their beloved ones stay with them, Fatima encourages Santiago to leave her and continue his trip: “That’s why I want you to continue toward your goal. If you have to wait until the war is over, then wait. But if you have to go before then, go on in pursuit of your dream” (Coelho 53). Such approach to true love opposes the traditional beliefs and changes the explanation of its nature.

A. they disqualified
B. in being disqualified
C. to have been disqualified
Answer: C. to have been disqualified
Explanation:
Some athletes are believed to have been disqualified from yesterday's race due to their having taken drugs.
A present perfect tense would fit here best because it shows actions that were continuing in the present even though they started in the past.
The disqualification was in the past in this scenario, but still continues in the present. "Have been" is a present perfect clause used when the subject refers to a group of people as it does here so it is best used here.

Tim has been brainstorming ideas, getting ready to write a paper about his best friend, Gerardo.
If Tim wants his readers to understand what makes Gerardo unique, which idea should Tim be sure to include in his paper?
1. Gerardo speaks three languages.
2.
Gerardo attends the same school as Tim.
3. Gerardo and Tim have been friends for years.
4. Gerardo and Tim are both 5 foot 4 inches tall.
Answer:
If Tim wants his readers to understand what makes Gerardo unique, the idea he should include is:
1. Gerardo speaks three languages.
Explanation:
We can find the correct answer through elimination. Options 2, 3, and 4 are not about characteristics that make Gerardo unique. Actually, they are about things Gerardo and Tim have in common, characteristics that they share. To indicate Gerardo's uniqueness, Tim must mention something different about him, something that distinguishes him from others, including from Tim himself. In that case, the best option is number 1. Gerardo's language skills are something that makes him unique, something that distinguishes him from most people.
