Which three excerpts from nadine gordimer's “once upon a time” are reminiscent of those elements found in traditional fairy tales? select all that apply. in a house … there were a man and his wife who loved each other very much and were living happily ever after. … they were warned, by that wise old witch … not to take on anyone off the street. i was waiting for it; waiting to hear if it indicated that feet were moving from room to room, coming up the passage—to my door. so i began to tell myself a story, a bedtime story the little boy was fascinated by the device and used it as a walkie-talkie in cops and robbers play with his small friends. … as her christmas present to her son and his wife—the little boy got a space man outfit and a book of fairy tales. the prince who braves the terrible thicket of thorns to enter the palace and kiss the sleeping beauty back to life.

The story could be dubbed as a modern fairy tale. The story takes place "In a house" which indicates that it took place in an unspecified place. The lines "...there were a man and his wife who loved each other very much and were living happily ever after." resembles closing remarks of traditional fairy tales. The line  "... they were warned, by that wise old witch" contains magical elements, namely witch in this context. The line " … as her Christmas present to her son and his wife" is an indication for the use of threes in the lights of a woman, her son and son's wife.  

why biographies are better than plays

explanation someone is saying they like biographies better

subject: why anyone can be a genius.

occasion: moving forward in life.

audience: average person

purpose: to push you further in life

speaker: many famous geniuses.

here is the poem:

here is thy, and here is thee, genius is for what he can be.

poem is a matter of rhyme, but like ben frank said, life is a matter of time.

we have great inventors such as thomas edison, who said, "genius is one percent inspiration and 99% perspiration." no, no perspiration as what comes from your skeleton.

we have great minds, from places of all kinds, such as yu kaw la chi tie, (now im switching languages because yu kaw was japanese.)

てちハラスイヒイス, てちラスイヒイス

てちのちみスイヒイス.

you are a genius, well not yet, but you are capable, and that is a bet.
