A story narrative is probably Asian if it is:

(a) detailed, structured, and linear
(b) episodic, event-driven, and contains judgmental remarks
(c) presented in a circular discourse pattern with no clear conclusion
(d) accompanied by use of props and actions

This is a terrible question. It's asking you to fit a huge, diverse continent of people into one narrow niche.

Ask your teacher which Asian culture she means? Israel? Turkey? Syria? Saudi Arabia? Pakistan? Russia? Kazakhstan? India? Nepal? Bangladesh? Sri Lanka? Thailand? Vietnam? Korea? Japan? China?

Same as the other, I'm assuming Chinese culture. Thanks!

I am glad Ms Sue answered these. I looked at them and just shook my head.

To determine whether a story narrative is probably Asian, one must consider various elements that are commonly associated with Asian storytelling traditions. These elements can help identify certain characteristics or patterns in the narrative. Let's analyze the options given:

(a) A detailed, structured, and linear narrative style can be found in various storytelling traditions worldwide, so it does not necessarily indicate an Asian origin.

(b) An episodic, event-driven narrative with judgmental remarks is not exclusive to Asian storytelling either. This style can be found in different cultures' narratives.

(c) A circular discourse pattern with no clear conclusion is often associated with Asian storytelling traditions. This style emphasizes themes of unity, interconnectivity, and cyclical nature of life. Therefore, it suggests that a story narrative might be Asian.

(d) The use of props and actions is a theatrical aspect rather than a specific indicator of Asian storytelling. This element can be found in various theatrical traditions worldwide.

Based on the options provided, option (c), a story presented in a circular discourse pattern with no clear conclusion, is the characteristic that best suggests an Asian narrative. However, it's important to note that these characteristics are not exclusive to Asian storytelling, and one should consider a variety of factors before making conclusions about a story's origin.
