Faulkner uses a Modernist technique in this passage by capturing the imperfect, disorganized way that Anse thinks and feels.
Answer: Option D.
Explanation:
The above excerpt is a part of section 9 from the novel ‘As I Lay Dying’ authored by William Faulkner. The most notable modernist technique which is used by most authors is self consciousness or say stream of consciousness which depicts the thoughts, conscious reaction, and feelings of the person towards a specific event. From the excerpt we can figure out that Faulkner have used the same technique where Anse’s imperfect and disorganized thoughts and feelings are captured.
Answer:
Well, I can't quite determine if you mean for this to be a trick question or if you are serious.
I say that because technically speaking, A and C show future tense, while B and D show past tense.
Of all the options, A is the best one to represent the present tense. While it certainly <u><em>can</em></u> represent the present tense, it does a much better job at representing the future tense. Yes, really. Let me give you some other examples so you'll see what I mean.....
Explanation:
Today, I'm leaving for Paris on the 4:00 p.m. flight. = future tense
Today, the army is sending me to boot camp. = future tense
.......................
I should add....
If you were to say: "Today, I'm babysitting my nephew." --- <u><em>and you said it at the moment that you are in the house next to your nephew</em></u> -- then, THAT would be present tense.
In this example, we're talking about an action that is happening at the moment of speaking unlike option A above which refers to an action that hasn't happened yet.
Have you got it??
Relax dude, I got you 8)
I sat upon a stool, admiring the scenes of autumn, I saw Mr.Flinch using the Leaf Chomper 2000, to rake up leaves. The leaves crackled under the machine, as though they were screaming for mercy. Yet, the sweet aroma produced after was so inviting, just like how you would visit your grandma and she would hug you, her perfume latching onto you. How marvelous this day was, I saw Hendra tossing a football around. The ball would glide so swiftly and straight as though it was a bullet. I saw Collin playing with his dog, Sonic, in his yard. The dog would leap in joy as he reward him with dog treats, like a child gets excited when a teacher gives them a prize. This was a unforgettable day, by all means a memorable one. And then I saw, the sun fall behind the tall mountains, telling me it was time to go inside.
I am pretty sure it is A there were.
That’s a really good poem
