What is the point of view of this passage? How does this point of view help create suspense for the reader? Liana and Coen walked barefoot through the grass to the old oak tree on the edge of the property. They'd been looking forward to this all day. Liana spread a blanket at the foot of the tree and sat down, closing her eyes as she leaned against the tree's trunk. She couldn't remember a time that she had been this exhausted.

Coen watched his sister, choosing to stretch out on the ground. He thought about the long day they'd had, taking care of their mom, but they were glad for the chance to relax and have a little time to themselves. With any luck, they wouldn't be needed for another hour or so and could spend the time chatting and watching the sun set behind the mountain.

As they talked about nothing in particular, neither sibling noticed the umbrella-like hive hanging 15 feet above their heads, nor did the siblings hear the buzzing emerging from its depths. The wasps' nest began to vibrate as Coen turned up the volume on his portable radio.

The POV of the short passage is third person omniscient because the author can describe what goes on between Liana and Coen. The point of view helps create suspense for the reader by being able to know what goes on in each of the characters side and making you understand what is happening.

Explanation: does that make sense lol.

both the address and the poster use diction to convey their message. diction is defined as a style of writing or speaking based on the types of words chosen in order to send a message. parallelism is when a similar sentence structure is used for several sentences on a text; roosevelt's address doesn't follow that. repetition has to do with repeating a word or sentence in order to emphasize and idea, however neither the poster nor the address use repetion. finally, the address doesn't use images to convey a message.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
