Pls me to answer these four

1. Women were perceived as less talented, intelligent, and courageous than men. This implies the gender inequalities that occurred during the Victorian Era.

2. A fictional novel is literature that is false. They cannot be true and is simply a story created out of imagination. Non Fiction novels are texts consisting of real facts. Examples include biographies, reports, and news articles.

3.Francis Hardinge is a british author that loves writing revolutionary tales of fiction and whimsy. Every single one of her novels contain suspense, mystery, and fairytale-like details. Every young adult should read her because she depicts fantasy very well. Her stories just suck you in, and make you want to continue reading them forevermore.

4. I think the idea of growing up was established early in the novel related to the time period. (She wanted to wear a grown-up corset instead of a training one.)

Hope this helped!!

Explanation:

Bella   ran   out the  house  towards  the  woods  to  look  for  shelter.  It  was  a  dark,  silent  night  of  October...One  could  hear  the  owls  and  wolves  in  the  distance.

She  ran  untiringly  until  she  arrived  to  a  hill.  "How  strange"  she  thought  to  herself,  when  she  saw  a  brown  wooden  gate  that  lead  inside  the  hill.  The  gate  had  a  green  light  on  top  and  a  "Warning"  sign  sticked  to  it.

The  gate  swung  silentry  inward  "There  had  never  been  a  gate  here  before"  thought  Bella,  although  she  felt  extremely  curious  about  it  and  she  decided  to  open  it.

It  was  completely  dark  inside,  Bella  could  not  even  see  her  hands  and  she  felt  like  it  was  a  dream,  like  suddenly  nothing  existed  anymore.  After  a  few  minutes  of  being  in  complete  trance,  she  heard  rain  falling  and  suddenly  she  remembered  she  was  in  this  weird,  dark  place  that  seemed  to  had  appeared  out  of  nowhere.   "I'll  go  out  and  try  to  find  another  place  to  stay"  she  thought,  "this  place  is  too  scary".

Nevertheless,  the  second  she  turned  to  the  door  trying  to  go  out,  the  door  slammed,  making  a  very  loud  noise.  Bella  tried  to  open  it  but  it  was  stuck.  Suddenly,  a  path  of  lights  appeared  and  Bella  decided  to  follow  it,  thinking  that  perhaps  she  could  find  another  exit.

After  walking  for  miles,  she  finally  saw  a  way  out  to  that  place.  There  was  another  door,  similar  to  the  one  she  entered  first.  She opened  it  and  she  was  thrown  to  a  forest,  "This  place  looks  familiar"  she  thought  to  herself  and  decided  to  go  take  a  look.  The forest  was,  indeed,  identical  to  the  one  where  she  lived;  The  only  difference  was  that  there  was  a  river  in  this  new  forest,  which  did  not  exist  at  her  home  town.  The  water  was  crystal  clear  and  she  could  see  her  reflection  on  it...  "AAH!"  Bella  screamed  when  she  saw a  shadow  behind  herself  and  quickly  look  behind...  Someone  had  been  following  her...
