, Read the questions below carefully and write all your responses in paragraph
form.

because if a piece is beyond our understanding, then we get nothing out of it.
Do you agree with this view? Briefly explain your answer in a paragraph of no

For example, when we read a novel, we encounter various literary techniques,
character developments, and plot structures. This exposure to different writing styles
and techniques can inspire us to try them in our own writing. By practicing writing, we
solidify our understanding of these writing techniques and improve our ability to
