What is an example of a contextual symbol explain

Answers

A contextual symbol is a symbol whose meaning is not widely recognized by a society or culture, but that can only be recognized within the context or framework of a specific story because these are unique symbols that authors created  to serve a certain purpose in the story.

An example of contextual symbolis the White Whale in the Moby-Di.ck novel by Herman Merville, that is said to represent God, the divine or nature as it is powerful and can not be tamed or beaten. This character works as a contextual symbol because it can only be recognized as such  by the readers of the novel.

Contextual symbol is a word or object that stands for something else just in the story or situation.

For example . Do you know the sign with a skull and 2 bones crossed behind him) I think you do. . The skull and crossbones stand for poison. So, if you see the symbol( you can try typing it on google) on a box or bucket, please don’t eat what is inside of the container.
It's that simple... Hope it helped

What type of plot structure allows authors to “come late” to their own story?In medias res

Episodic plot structure

Parallel plot structure

Flash-forward

Answers

The plot structure that allows authors to 'come late' to their own story is in medias res. It is a Latin term which basically means 'into the middle of things.' Sometimes authors don't want to bother giving their characters a backstory, but rather begin the novel in the middle. An example would be Gaiman's 'American Gods,' because we don't see each of the gods' history in the beginning.

Answer:

#1: Medias res is the correct answer

Orientalism. What are some of the ways in which the novel Dracula (and the Count himself) represent a Western fear of ""reverse colonization"" or ""infection"" by the ""exotic"" East? How does the novel try to define the West in a positive light?

Answers

Answer and explanation:

In the novel "Dracula" by Bram Stoker, the great fear the British had of what was exotic and foreign is explored. During the Victorian era, England saw itself as a nation with a colonizing mission. Having other nations under its control and being in touch with so many different cultures, it comes as no surprise that England saw diversity as a threat. A country with several languages, customs, and beliefs is much more difficult to subjugate and keep under control than a uniform one. England was, thus, afraid of reverse colonization, of the West being influenced by the Eastern countries they once invaded. The novel tries to define the West in a positive and civilized light, describing Dracula's country as, different, inferior, even barbaric:

In the population of Transylvania there are four distinct nationalities: Saxons  in the South, and mixed with them the Wallachs, who are the descendants of  the Dacians; Magyars in the West, and Szekelys in the East and North. I am  going among the latter, who claim to be descended from Attila and the Huns. (Stoker 2)

Transylvania is not England. Our ways are not your  ways, and there shall be to you many strange  things.” (Stoker 23)

In which quote(s) does Stanton discuss women’s right to vote? Select all that apply.A. "He has compelled her to submit to laws, in the formation of which she had no voice."
B. "He has never permitted her to exercise her inalienable right to the elective franchise."
C. "He closes against her all the avenues to wealth and distinction, which he considers most honorable to himself."
D. "He has taken from her all right in property, even to the wages she earns."

Answers

Answer:

B.

Stanton is not allowing the woman to vote. Elect is the key word in this question. You can infer because it is also used in "election," which has something to do with voting.
