, 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,
