What features are typically associated with postmodern fiction?

Answers

Explanation:

Postmodern literature is a form of literature which is marked, both stylistically and ideologically, by a reliance on such literary conventions as fragmentation, paradox, unreliable narrators, often unrealistic and downright impossible plots, games, parody, paranoia, dark humor and authorial self-reference.

Answer:

Postmodern writers tend to view experiments with form as part of the message of expressing human experiences; they want to represent the act of writing itself, when done most authentically, as an experiment. Another feature of postmodernism is that the chaotic nature of modern life is often a condition to be celebrated rather than "solved" or organized by the calm voices of reason. Contemporary writers seek to represent the crazy unpredictability of life in the 20th century without attempting to impose a traditional logic on that experience. As a result, this genre of literature is often difficult to interpret and understand. More characteristics of the movement are the tendencies to approach each work of art differently as well as mess with readers' expectations of a narrative by changing the structure as an example. Irony is also often used.

Dear grandma,

I've been here long enough to be sure: I like the island of Issopyxos! If Mom really never wants to get on a ship more than her for her entire life and therefore has to stay here forever, then let's stay with her. We could have a good time here. The hotel porter told me that in February all the trees already have flowers and that it is five degrees Celsius when it's cold. Of course I would have to learn Greek in order to go to school. Mom could earn some money and I am the dad too. We could paint the stones, the dried pumpkins and even the t-shirts to sell to tourists. Besides, we would need less money than at home, because we don't need winter boots, woolen hats and anoraks here. Now I have to stop writing. Mom and Dad called me from the balcony to go to lunch. A thousand kisses.

Question 20 (Essay Worth 5 points)
(MC)

Read this text from the Constitution:

AMENDMENT XXVI
Passed by Congress March 23, 1971. Ratified July 1, 1971.

Note: Amendment 14, section 2, of the Constitution was modified by section 1 of the 26th amendment.

Section 1.
The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age.

This amendment is the last of three voting rights amendments. Write a short essay of 5 to 7 sentences explaining how this and the other voting rights amendments expanded voting rights in the United States.

Answers

First, we must define the original definition for who is allowed to vote to be able to understand what exactly is expanded upon. At the conceiving of this nation, the white male, land-owning, 21-year old and older were allowed to vote. Meaning, females, people of other skin-color (or even mixed), and non-land owning entities were not allowed to vote. The first change to the right to vote occurred in 1860, and African Americans gained the right to vote 10 years later when the amendment was passed. Following this, Women were allowed to vote in 1920, which saw the rise of support for women (and Native Americans), as they were essentially citizens, and to deny citizens their basic rights was against the natural rights espoused to all when they were born. Of course, with the right to vote comes the responsibility of such a vote. A person is expected to vote for such people in which they believe are aligned to their personal beliefs, as well as what is "better" for the nation. On top of that there would be responsibilities espoused to citizens, such as jury service, etc.

However, while the rights of who and what for voting has expanded, restrictions has also occurred, such as non-citizens (obviously), as well as criminals and felons.

A. Simple sentence

Answers

I think it’s an compound sentence :) sorry If I’m wrong!

This sentence has only one independent clause ("Jennifer planned to bake cookies"), which can stand alone as a complete sentence. It does not contain any dependent clauses or coordinating conjunctions, which are necessary for a compound, complex, or compound-complex sentence. Hence, option A is correct.

What is a simple sentence ?

A simple sentence is a type of sentence that consists of one independent clause, which is a complete thought that can stand on its own. It typically contains a subject and a verb and expresses a single idea or a complete thought.

Examples of simple sentences:

The cat sat on the mat.

She enjoys playing the piano.

He ran to catch the bus.

Note that a simple sentence can also include modifiers, such as adjectives or adverbs, to add more information or detail. However, it still contains only one subject-verb combination and expresses a single complete thought.

The given one is an example of simple sentence. Hence, option A is correct.
