Answer to Question #300047 in English for PHUMZILE ZONDI

Question

As I'm sure you've noticed, most of the history of the Baudelaire orphans is organized sequentially, a word which here means "so that the events in the lives of Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are related in the order in which they occurred." In the case of the next three chapters, however, the story is organized simultaneously, which means that you do not have to read the chapters in the order in which they appear. In chapter four, you may find the story of Violet Baudelaire's journey up to the rooftop sunbathing salon, and the unpleasant conversation she had occasion to overhear. In chapter five, you may read about Klaus's experience with certain members of the lumber industry, and a sinister plot that was devised right in front of his nose.

You decide to use this text in your FAL class. Based on your stylistic analysis above, state for which ages and grade/s this book would be appropriate and  substantiate your answer with proof from the extract.

Answer 1

The sequential flow of ideas in a book is good for grades 1,2 and 3 since they are told at a younger age to deal with issues in order. However, as they grow, they should be introduced to the simultaneous flow of ideas to enable them to grasp ideas and use their mind to organize ideas in their mind. ideally, they will adapt the ability to deal with things step by step. for instance, Violet who is 14 years will be able to deal with issues simultaneously compared to Sunny who is can only understand her world through sequential occurrences of ideas.
