Think about your favorite reality show. Just how real is it? The stakes seem high, but will the winner actually be America’s top model or chef or fashion designer or survivor? What’s really going on when participants express their feelings directly into a camera? Surely they know that millions of people will be watching them. Even though the word reality is in the title, most reality shows are in fact carefully constructed narratives pieced together by directors and producers. The dramatic confrontations, the way viewers identify with or vilify

The correct answer is D. All of the above.

To understand this, it's important to first understand what modernism is. Modernism is a cultural and literary movement which asserts the power of human beings to create, improve, and reshape their environment, usually with the aid of scientific knowledge, technology and practical experimentation. The movement is generally marked to have started in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and rejects the idea of absolute truths and grand narratives, and instead focuses on individual experiences and interpretations of the world.

Now, let's break down and connect each option to the emergence of modernism:

A. "With the Second Industrial Revolution in the late 1800s, daily life became more fast-paced, mechanized, and urban.”

This quote informs us about the rapid shift in daily life due to the Second Industrial Revolution. This period saw dramatic advancements in manufacturing and production technology, leading to an urban, mechanized lifestyle. Modernism, as a cultural and literary movement, was a response to these changes. It embraced the change, progress, and the potential of the new urban life.

B. “After World War I (1914–1918), traditional class structures began to break down in Europe and the United States.”

World War I caused a massive disruption to societal structures, including class structures. This breakdown of traditional societal norms further encouraged the modernist disposition to question established norms and truths and to seek new ways of expression and understanding.

C. "It was a time of science and progress, rational thought and psychology."

As aforementioned, modernism is closely associated with the unparalleled progress taking place across various fields such as technology, science, and psychology, which fundamentally altered human self-perception. The growing emphasis on rational thought and the exploration of the human mind matched well with the modernists' pursuit of exploration and reinterpretation of human experience.

Thus, each option represents a different facet of the societal shift that gave rise to modernism, and they are all interconnected. Therefore, the answer is D. All of the above.

The best-supported statement about the similarities between modernist and postmodernist literature, based on the text, is:

D. Each movement expresses the complexity and changes of their time.

The given text provides information about how both modernist and postmodernist literature reflected the cultural and historical context of their respective time periods. Modernist literature emerged during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, characterized by writers feeling alienated from the stable pre-war world. Modernist works, such as Virginia Woolf's "Mrs. Dalloway" and James Joyce's "Ulysses," focused on subjective interiority, fragmentation of time, and used techniques like stream of consciousness. These characteristics expressed the complexity and changes of the modern era.

Similarly, postmodernist literature emerged after World War II, reflecting the collapse of European colonialism, the emergence of new nations, and the rise of multicultural voices. Postmodern literature often features narrative fragmentation, unconventional structures, and the incorporation of irony and self-awareness. It explores the external world, social and cultural constructs, and plays with perspectives and multiple narrators. These characteristics also express the complexity and changes of the post-war world.

Therefore, it can be concluded that both modernist and postmodernist literature expressed the complexity and changes of their respective times, supporting option D as the best-supported statement.

Step-by-step answer

P Answered by PhD

Answer:

There is gradual shift of point of view in the story “An Occurrence
at Owl Creek Bridge”.

Step-by-step explanation:

●''Owl Creek Bridge'' isn't a first-person narration, meaning that it's not told from the perspective of the main character, meaning Farquhar. Instead, the text comes from a third-person narrator, or told by an external force or character.

●In some sense, Bierce presents readers with an unreliable third-person narrator. The narrator knows, the entire time, that Peyton is dreaming, but tricks readers into thinking that Peyton has escaped. By representing the scenes of Peyton's dream as reality, the narrator toys with the reader's emotions.

●In “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” a couple of shifts throughout the story change the entire story's point of view essentially bewildering readers. For instance, in paragraph five, a shift occurs when Peyton Farquhar closes his eyes right before he is to be hung.

●In paragraph 36 of "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," Bierce shifts from past tense to present tense. Bierce writes that "now he sees another scene . . . he stands at the gate of his own home." The effect here is that the reader believes Farquhar has truly escaped and made it home.

Step-by-step answer

P Answered by PhD

Answer:

Aslan orders the creatures around him to prepare a feast for the children. Then he leads Peter aside and shows him Cair Paravel, a castle on a peninsula where the children will live and reign. Aslan tells Peter that he will "be the High King over all the rest." As they are talking, Peter and Aslan hear Susan's horn, which Father Christmas gave her. She is supposed to blow the horn when she is in danger, as it will bring help. The other animals begin to run to help her, but Aslan stops them and waves Peter on.

Peter runs over and sees Susan climbing a tree, pursued by a huge wolf. She only gets as far as the first branch before she comes so close to fainting that she cannot go any higher. Peter knows that if she faints she will fall to danger. He rushes over and stabs the wolf in the heart with the sword that Father Christmas gave him. There is a short struggle, but in the end the wolf lies dead at Peter's feet. Aslan sees another wolf dash into the thicket and sends his fastest animals after it, saying that the wolf will lead them to the Witch and to Edmund. He then knights Peter, after chastising him for forgetting to wipe his sword.
