Read the paragraph from nick’s personal narrative. standing alone in my family’s barn, i thought about how much hard work and time my parents had invested—how much hard work and time we had all invested—in maintaining a fully operational farm. i did not remember a time when my clothes had not reeked of manure or my hair had not held fast to brittle pieces of straw. what would happen if my parents had to sell the farm so we could move closer to my grandparents? just as i was attempting to imagine a life in the city, a sudden commotion erupted and interrupted my thoughts. with animals squawking and dust flying, i scrambled to pinpoint the source of this unexpected intrusion. in seconds that felt more like minutes, i was successful . . and i could scarcely believe what my eyes were seeing. nick uses chronological order to relate his narrative. what effect does this have on his arrangement of the plot?

Nick will need to go back and relate the events that led up to that moment in the story.

Explanation:

If he didn't use chronological order, the events of the passage would not be in order. Chronological order is arranging things in the order it happened. Its effects on the arrangement of the plot are he is not actually doing, he is thinking all of this

Ghost: Ay, that incestuous, that adulterate beast,

With witchcraft of his wit, with traitorous gifts,

O wicked wit and gifts, that have the power

So to seduce!-won to his shameful lust

The will of my most seeming-virtuous queen.

Hamlet,

William Shakespeare

Explanation:

These words (from Act 1, Scene 5) have a negative connotation, as we can realize that the ghost (Hamlet's father) criticizes his brother Claudius for having a love affair with his wife Gertrude. He calls him an adulterate beast and expresses his anger with Claudius because he married his widow.  

The tone of this excerpt shows that the ghost is against this affair, by using many pejorative adjectives which are describing Claudius' evil nature and condemning his because of his shameful act.
