Question

Reread the following sentence from the beginning of "The Grasshopper and the Bell Cricket": "Behind the white board fence of the school playground, from a dusky clump of bushes under the black cherry trees, an insect's voice could be heard." The narrator's description of himself as an observer promotes a feeling of A. disgust. B. excitement. C. isolation. D. inclusion.

Answer 1

D. inclusion

Step-by-step explanation:

In this story, the author places himself as the observer of the events. He describes the clump of bushes, as well as the insect's voice in a way that makes it sound as if the author was in the scene. This leads to a feeling of inclusion, because the reader is made to feel as if he was also participating in the events being described.

Answer 2

D. inclusion.

Step-by-step explanation:

The narrator puts himself as part of the story. When a narrator describes situations in the story where he puts himself as an observer, this narrator ends up promoting a sense of inclusion. This is because, by observing the scene and describing it, the author is included in the story and becomes part of that narrative as a being that is included in the plot and is observing everything inside the plot.
