Although the story “son” covers many different incidents spanning several years of chronological time, the author manages to a) combine themes of motherhood and fatherhood with issues of livelihood b) relate them all to the importance of family ties in human life c) combine family value themes with gender equality issues d) relate them all to the universal theme of father-son relationships

i think it's either 'to expose the corruption of the communists in russia', or 'to criticize animal brutality by communists in russia.'  

hope this ! : )

it is the background information on the characters and setting explained at the beginning of the story. the exposition will often have information about events that happened before the story began. the exposition is often the very first part of the plot.

may i ask what topic?
