What do we learn about orual in the first chapter, especially in the first paragraph? what is her purpose in writing? what is her view of the gods? (till we have faces)

In the firsts paragraphs, we learn about Oruro that she is old and alone, so she has no fears of the consequences that may come from revealing the story she is about to. there is nothing left for her, death is near,s he can hurt no one because there is no one, and the gods won't answer.

She thinks of the gods that they are not judges. she can accuse them because they won't answer as terrors and plagues are not answered.

faulty parallelism is a construction in which two or more parts of a sentence are equivalent in meaning but not grammatically similar in form.

the correct version of this faulty parallelism in the sentence is:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.

the problem is the last sentence, the first two have a basic subject+verb+object structure.

so, to give a proper balance to the structure, or better said, to give a parallel structure, we must write a basic s+v+o structure in all three sentences:

the hikers knew that the hike was six miles, that it usually required the entire day, and it would not be wise to start after 10: 00 a.m.

common stockholders usually have the right to vote on major issues affecting the company, like mergers and liquidation of the corporation's assets. they also have part ownership of the company which can then be traded on a secondary market (the stock exchange).
