The author structures the story so that the parallel plots mirror each other. For example, the author describes a scene in which the protagonist is x-rayed, taken to surgery, and approached by a doctor. where in the second plot does the author echo this scene? What is the effect of this mode of narration?

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

""The Night Face Up"

Identify Patterns: The author structures the story so that the parallel plots mirror each other. For example, the author describes a scene in which the protagonist is x-rayed, taken to surgery, and approached by doctor. Where in the second plot does the author echo this scene?"

The author echoes this scene when, in the second plot, a priest approaches the protagonist holding a knife.

Explanation:

"The Night Face Up" is a short story written by Julio Cortazar. This short story is full of complexities that make the reader curious and anxious with the story unfolding. That's because the protagonist character lives on an insane journey between his thoughts and the reality in which he lives.

At a certain point in history, the reader is faced with a scene in which the protagonist is x-rayed, taken for surgery and approached by a doctor. This scene echoes later, when a priest approaches the protagonist with a knife in his hand (referring to the alleged surgery), this scene also indicates that the priest may have killed the man.

explanation:

the intellectual community is a place like a university where people with high marks, or original thought or an outstanding interest in something gather. they take classes together. they discuss things. they argue sometimes, and not always in a friendly way. but if they argue, it is because they are passionate about something, and there is nothing the matter with that.

lately i've been hearing rumors that it is not the way it was when i went to school. the one thing all schools used to have was free speech. the 1st amendment rights were sacred. now i'm hearing they are not. students can be reported and disciplined for giving an off the wall opinion.

that is shameful.

intellectual ideas are meant to be discussed. they are meant to be chewed up and worked on. that is the primary responsibility of every intellectual community. if that is not the way it is, then that is not a school to go to.

social media, in my opinion, and this is just an opinion. i wouldn't take it too seriously, complicates everything to do with human communication. you can want to share things and others feel they have the right to be very critical or sarcastic or mean about what you share. lack of respect is an immeasurable intolerable condition and social media abounds with that sort of thing.

one of the things i really like about is how careful people are because they must have some idea that the mods are exactly what the word says they are. they police this board very well, and what is so remarkable about them is that they are no older than the average grade 12 student.

my hat goes off to them (which means i respect them quite a bit).
