Dear Teacher and fellow students,
How many times have we encountered those literary terms?? "Billions of times " a student might say,but how many times have you been given the chance to have little nice exercises on them?? What i am insinuating is that such links are really treasured for good.
Best Regards.
Khawla
Dear Doctor,
I'm really glade to have such a fruitful journey through the valuable information that your highness introduce about the material we are taking. You have given us the notion which says " always more, always new ".
your faithfully,

Dear Doctor,
I'm really wondering about the way we must follow to answer the given questions. I've answered three questions including character, point of view and the setting but they suddenly vanished as if I did nothing.So, would you please light the ways we must follow to answer the questions ?
Thank you very much
your faithfully,
Nahla Said El-jondi
Dear Nahla
Regarding the character, the categories you choose from the dro-down menues help you deve;lop an imaginative conflict for this type of charachters. Try to invest it with emotions, feelings, desires. If your character is round, you have to show its feelings and emotions alongside the ample background details about it.
Dear Nahla
Imagine a 15-year-old character. What kind of conflict does such a character face? How can it overcome it? What are the possible ways of getting rid of its problems? What are its emotional clashes that accompany it along the events?
Dear Doctor,
I'm really grateful to have your great instructions given to help us answering the questions. According to the POINT OF VIEW EXERCISE, i'd love to introduce the following lines which may give a simple answer :
(1) The perspective told by the third-person omniscient is completely different than the one told by the first-person.On the one hand, third-person omniscient's style follows the narrative way of telling a story.On the other hard, the first-person's one follows the style of telling an experience in which the protagonist is the teller or the narrator as well. however, the third-person omniscient doesn't involve in the story, while the first-person is the one whose the story is told about.
According to the content, in the first perspective we can easily know the character's personality and qualities told by the narrator in a direct way.While in the perspective told by the first-person, we can know about the character's personalities and qualities from her manners of speech and snobbery which are introduced but in an indirect way.
AS far as I can see, the perspective told by the first-person attracts the reader more than the persperctive told by the third-person omniscient. No doubt that the third-person omniscient perspective is easy to understand , but the one told by the first-person looks more attractive, specailly that it makes the reader himself to think and figure out the information and the details of the character's personality and qualities.
(2) I think that most traditional fairy tales are expressed in the third person because they are those which depends on having a great deal of knowledge about the character and the developments. Some tales are difficult to understand when expressed in the first person.So, in the third person, it is much easier to understand since the narrator presents his own piont of view about the character and the progress of its developments.
I wish these lines may at least give answers for the piont of view exercise.
your faithfully,
Nahla Said El-jondi
Dear Doctor,
This time I would like to give an answer might be useful for the questions of the CHARACTER.
(1)- Through her living in an internal school house,away from her family, the fifteen-year old and black-skinned girl suffers from the animosity of her colleagues.Her inner feelings clash together, producing advantages and disadvantages. It was all because she has never known such discriminations between the whites and blacks.For it is a really unexpected experience, this little girl felt isolated and lonely as the only weed, as her colleagues described her, between the shinning flowers. Subconsciously, and as a way of escape, the only thing she could do to ignore all these scornful eyes and feelings, is to concentrate on her studies.
(2)- Though she escaped and became an obsessed peroson on just studying, her black-skinned quality caused her more and more troubles. It was not thereafter a scorn only from her colleagues, but also it was a mistreatment from her own teachers. Within classes she tried to participate and direct her opinions, but never succeeded because of the ignorance of her teachers. She became psychologically ill, and mentally conscious of the hatred atmospher around. This poor,little girl could do nothing but being alone in such experience.
(3)- This cannot be done since the whole story depends on the characer's personality and qualities. So, as long as we think to change one and only one of the given qualities, we should change the whole story as well.
I wish these lines may at least help in answering the given questions about the character.Thanks for paying attention.
Your Faithfully,
Nahla Said Elgondi
Dear Doctor,
About the ALLEGORY EXERCISE, I would like to offer my answer which i found, atleast, good and properiate.
Once upon a time, there was a little nightingale who wanted to explore the world, so, one day she prepared herself to fly in the sky in a journey. She flew over the woods that surrounded her nest until she reached its end. Standing there on a branch of a big tree was another bird, a little sparrow when asked he suggested that she fly north, for that was where the beautiful natural landscapes and more interesting lakes were. So, she flew in the sky northward until she reached a large lake. She spent several days exploring the nests on the trees around the lake and meeting all kinds of strange birds. Finally, she grew bored, and found new direction which to fly. Standing on a tree at the edge of the lake , was a young chaffinch. When asked, she suggested that the little nightingale fly east, for that was where the small coveys and most interesting forests. So, the little nightingale flew eastward up the clouds in the blue sky until she came to a small forest. She wandered through the forest and saw all manner of birds. Finally, she had seen everything, so she left and found new direction which to fly. She met a mature cuckoo, when asked , suggested that the little nightingale fly south, for that was where the big mountains full of acorn trees. So, the little nightingale flew in the sky towards the south until she came to a large number of acorns on a mountain. There she contacted with birds from different kinds who used different ways of communication. She had learnt alot, but finally she had had enough of the mountain, so she found another direction to fly. Resting on a branch of a big acorn tree was an old dove who, when asked, suggested to fly west towards a beautiful woods. So, the little nightingale flew west until she reached the woods which she lived in. She flew over the trees to her nest, glad to be home.
P.S: I'd really like to see your considered comment on the following, for i will be glad to know your own point of view.
your faithfully,
Nahla Said El-jondi
