Another way to tap the power of imagination is through place. my own background as a writer is rooted in nature, having grown up reading henry david thoreau, rachel carson, and john muir long before i ever dipped into madeleine l'engle, lloyd alexander, ursula le guin, e. b. white, or j. r.r. tolkien. my early writings were really nature journals; at nine, i wrote a complete biography—of a tree. (it was a once-majestic chestnut tree not far from my home.) so it should come as no surprise that i view place as much more than just a setting for a story. it is, in truth, another form of character, no less alive and complex, mysterious and contradictory, than the richest character in human form. what does this paragraph imply about the way the author would treat the setting in his work? the author does not think the setting or place of a story is important. the author thinks the setting or place is the most important part of a story. the author does not think the other parts of a story are important. the author thinks the setting can influence the story as much as characters can.

Select the correct answer. read this excerpt from incidents in the life of a slave girl by harriet ann jacobs: among the ladies who were acquainted with my grandmother, was one who had known her from childhood, and always been very friendly to her. she had also known my mother and her children, and felt interested for them. at this crisis of affairs she called to see my grandmother, as she not unfrequently did. she observed the sad and troubled expression of her face, and asked if she knew where linda was, and whether she was safe. my grandmother shook her head, without answering. "come, aunt martha," said the kind lady, "tell me all about it. perhaps i can do something to you." which of these important concepts uncommon to abolitionist literature does jacobs depict in the excerpt? 1. some kind white characters were included in slave narratives so that northerners would not be offended. 2. southern society was complex and diverse with both good and bad people unlike northern stereotypes showed. 3. many kind slave owners and their slaves developed deep friendships. 4. most whites and blacks lived in harmony in the south and made efforts to each other. a. 1 and 4 b. 1 and 3 c. 1 and 2 d. 2 and 3
