Because the only type of narration present in the story is the third person, we (as readers), do not feel the direct contact with the narrator. However, if you use pronouns such as “I” or “you” (first person), the direct contact is then established. 3/4 5. b), because the first paragraph of the story is about a piece of bread in OUR society (North-America) and how we perceive it. On the other hand, we have more slices of bread in different places and situations. If we compare the other situations to our, we feel somewhat sad and that is how we assume the reader comes from a privileged society. 2/4 6. “The New Food” : c) & e) “Bread”: b) & f) “Old Habits Die Hard” : a) & d) 1/4
Figurative Devices (p.173)
1, “The new food” in Leacock’s story is a pellet that contains all the essential nutriments. It is so amazing it can revolutionize the actual food system. That is why it’s a metaphor to technologic development. 2/4
3. The reason why “Bread” is a metaphor to fiction is because it’s not real but is only part of our imagination as we read the story. We imagine many situations and places that may be true or not and that’s what fiction is after all. 2/4
Syntax (p.174)
2. “Old Habits Die Hard” story has a “bared-to-the-bone” writing style which is a very good way to show the lack of memory and the slow actions of the old man. We can somehow compare that to talking to a baby. 2/4
3. The old woman being the only person he remembers, takes care of him to his last breath. That shows passionate love in the essence of their relationship. 3/4
