Answer to Question #83529 in English for Caidyn

Question

Soueif first describes Cairo as viewed from the river at a distance, rather than from within the protest. How does this help the reader visualize the scene?

Answer 1

Soueif first describes Cairo as viewed from the river at a distance, rather than from within the protest to help the reader comprehend the entirety of the protest better. In such way, the reader observes the size of the protest, its impact on Cairo without any limited view on what was happening because he/she can see what is happening around the protest.
