To answer these questions, we need to understand the different elements of a story and their significance. Let's go through each question one by one and explain how to determine the answers.
1. "He hollered, 'There's nothin here but a sucklin pig!' This excerpt is from which part of the story?"
To determine the answer, we need to understand the different parts of a story. The exposition is the beginning part where the setting and characters are introduced. The rising action is the part where the conflicts and complications start to develop. The climax is the highest point of tension or conflict in the story. The resolution is the part where the conflict is resolved or concluded.
To find the answer, we need to analyze the excerpt. Since it does not introduce any new conflicts or resolutions, it is part of the exposition. Therefore, the answer is A. the exposition.
2. "Now, facts are facts. Wiley was a boy. He and his mama lived by themselves with just Wiley’s dogs. What makes this excerpt part of the exposition of the story?"
To determine the answer, we need to understand what the exposition does. The exposition typically introduces the setting, characters, and any necessary background information. In this case, the excerpt provides information about Wiley being a boy and living with his mama and dogs, which introduces the main character and some background details. Therefore, the answer is B. It introduces the main character.
3. "Who is the antagonist in 'Wiley, His Mama, and the Hairy Man' and why?"
To determine the answer, we need to understand the definition of an antagonist. The antagonist is the character or force that opposes or creates conflicts for the protagonist (main character). In this case, the Hairy Man is the main enemy that the main character, Wiley, fights against. Therefore, the answer is D. The Hairy Man is the antagonist because he is the main enemy that the main character fights against.
4. "What makes the Hairy Man the antagonist in 'Wiley, His Mama, and the Hairy Man'?"
To determine the answer, we need to analyze the characteristics or actions of the Hairy Man. The fact that the Hairy Man is Wiley's main enemy and creates conflicts for him makes him the antagonist. Therefore, the answer is B. He is Wiley's main enemy.
5. "What is the most important lesson Wiley learns in 'Wiley, His Mama, and the Hairy Man'?"
To determine the answer, we need to analyze the story's events and character development. In this case, the lesson that Wiley learns is that rope is not as strong as the ties between people. This is evident in the story when Wiley's cleverness and the support of his mama and dogs help him overcome the Hairy Man's challenges. Therefore, the answer is B. Rope is not as strong as the ties between people.
6. "Which of these best reveals a story's theme?"
To determine the answer, we need to understand what a theme is. A theme is the central message or main idea of a story. It is not explicitly stated but can be inferred from the events, conflicts, and character development. The length of the story's rising action, the way characters interact with the setting, and the relationship between the protagonist and antagonist are all important components of a story, but they do not directly reveal the theme. However, the way the central conflict is resolved often reflects the underlying theme, as it presents the resolution or message the author intends to convey. Therefore, the answer is B. The way the central conflict is resolved.
