The Beggar and the King
by Winthrop Parkhurst
[A chamber in the palace overlooks a courtyard. The season is midsummer. The windows of the palace are open, and from a distance there comes the sound of a man's voice crying for bread.]
[THE KING sits in a golden chair. A golden crown is on his head, and he holds in his hand a sceptre which is also of gold. A SERVANT stands by his side, fanning him with an enormous fan of peacock feathers.]
THE BEGGAR: (outside) Bread. Bread. Bread. Give me some bread.
THE KING: (languidly) Who is that crying in the street for bread?
THE SERVANT: (fanning) O king, it is a beggar.
THE KING: Why does he cry for bread?
THE SERVANT: O king, he cries for bread in order that he may fill his belly.
THE KING: I do not like the sound of his voice. It annoys me very much. Send him away.
THE SERVANT: (bowing) O king, he has been sent away.
THE KING: If that is so, then why do I hear his voice?
THE SERVANT: O king, he has been sent away many times, yet each time that he is sent away he returns again, crying louder than he did before.
THE KING: He is very unwise to annoy me on such a warm day. He must be punished for his impudence. Use the lash on him.
THE SERVANT: O king, it has been done.
THE KING: Then bring out the spears.
THE SERVANT: O king, the guards have already bloodied their swords many times driving him away from the palace gates. But it is of no avail.
THE KING: Then bind him and gag him if necessary. If need be cut out his tongue. I do not like the sound of the fellow's voice. It annoys me very much.
THE SERVANT: O king, thy orders were obeyed even yesterday.
THE KING: (frowning) No. That cannot be. A beggar cannot cry for bread who has no tongue.
THE SERVANT: Behold he can—if he has grown another.
THE KING: What! Why, men are not given more than one tongue in a lifetime. To have more than one tongue is treason.
THE SERVANT: If it is treason to have more than one tongue, O king, then is this beggar surely guilty of treason?
THE KING: (pompously) The punishment for treason is death. See to it that the fellow is slain. And do not fan me so languidly. I am very warm.
THE SERVANT: (fanning more rapidly) Behold, O great and illustrious king, all thy commands were obeyed even yesterday.
THE KING: How! Do not jest with thy king.
THE SERVANT: If I jest, then there is truth in a jest. Even yesterday, O king, as I have told thee, the beggar which thou now hearest crying aloud in the street was slain by thy soldiers with a sword.
THE KING: Do ghosts eat bread? Forsooth, men who have been slain with a sword do not go about in the streets crying for a piece of bread.
THE SERVANT: Forsooth, they do if they are fashioned as this beggar.
THE KING: Why, he is but a man. Surely he cannot have more than one life in a lifetime.
THE SERVANT: Listen to a tale, O king, which happened yesterday.
THE KING: I am listening.
THE SERVANT: Thy soldiers smote this beggar for crying aloud in the streets for bread, but his wounds are already healed. They cut out his tongue, but he immediately grew another. They slew him, yet he is now alive.
THE KING: Ah! That is a tale which I cannot understand at all.

In The Beggar and the King, what does the king's reaction to the beggar reveal about the king?
A. The king is unsure how to use his authority.
B. The king welcomes advice from his servants.
C. The king has no respect for human life.
D. The king is troubled by poverty and suffering.

3. Change the following sentences as directed. 3
a. I have lost my purse (into passive voice)
b. The teacher said, "The earth is round" (into
indirect speech)
c. She gave me the thing. I wanted the thing.
(into one sentence with relative clause)​

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Changing the sentence to a passive voice. Passive voice depicts a sentence in a way that makes the subject takes action.

1. I have lost my purse => My purse has been lost by me.

2. Changing to indirect speech. Indirect speech is a grammatical style of reporting words spoken or written without directly quoting the speaker or writer.

The teacher said, "The earth is round" => The Teacher said that the earth is round.

3. Changing into one sentence with a relative clause

A relative clause is a clause that is being used to join two sentences together. Hence,

She gave me the thing. I wanted the thing => She gave me the thing that I wanted.

A. Metaphor

B. Onomatopoeia

C. Personification

D. Simile

Answers

Answer:

I think its C.

Explanation:

Because I know its not a simile, a similie commonly uses "like" or "as". A Metaphor is a  phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable. So I don't think it's that and A Onomatopoeia is comic related using "was" a lot so I don't think it's that either. Therefore, ur left with C. Personification. Although I'm not sure. I hope this can help you!

I'll finish the rest later I gotta go to class now. Tell me if it's good or needs to be changed

Explanation:

Historical fiction and nonfiction have several notable similarities and differences. When comparing texts involving the same situation that are historical fiction and historical non-fiction, there are obvious dissimilarities. For example, in the text Benjamin Franklin Flies a Kite, the purpose of the story is to provide an accurate depiction of the actual events, while in A Shocking and Stormy Night, the purpose is to create an amusing and entertaining story. Another difference is the point of view in the stories. A Shocking and Stormy Night is written in first person, as a neighbour watching Benjamin as he does the experiment while text Benjamin Franklin Flies a Kite is written in third person omnipotent.

Answer:

Nonfiction and Historical fiction have notable similarities and differences. These texts involve the same situations yet when you analyze the text one is historical fiction while the other is historical non-fiction, there are obvious dissimilarities. For example, in the text, Benjamin Franklin Flies a Kite, the purpose of the story is to provide an accurate depiction of the actual events with the author using a more professional tone, while in A Shocking and Stormy Night, the purpose is to create an amusing and entertaining story. Another difference is the point of view in the stories. A Shocking and Stormy Night is written in first-person for proof in the text it says, “my window, a man stood in the rain.

It was strange to see him all alone on such a stormy night.

Who goes out in a thunderstorm and tries to fly a kite?” this shows that its written in the first-person point of view as a neighbor watches Benjamin as he does the experiment while text Benjamin Franklin Flies a Kite is written in third person about benjamins experiment not only that in a shocking and stormy night is written with a curious, confused, and somewhat frightened tone to set the mood and to get the reader invested in the story as well as express how the character feels. In his story, we also get more description on the setting rather than it being filled with facts from the real historical event like in Benjamin Franklin Flies a Kite.
