Question

different literary forms tend to rely on different elements to express theme. how might a fairy tale express theme differently than a memoir?

the fairy tale would use mostly setting details to express theme, and the memoir would use character development.

the fairy tale would emphasize the significance of real - life events to express theme, and the memoir would rely more on plot.

the fairy tale would rely mostly on plot to express theme, and the memoir would emphasize the significance of real - life events.

the fairy tale would use character development as the main means of showing theme, and the memoir would rely on the setting.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the characteristics of fairy tales and memoirs:

• Fairy tales are fictional, often using plot (events, conflicts, resolutions) to convey themes (e.g., good vs. evil, moral lessons).
• Memoirs are non - fictional accounts of real - life experiences, so they emphasize the significance of real - life events to express themes (e.g., personal growth from real experiences).

Now let's analyze each option:

• Option 1: Fairy tales don't mainly use setting details for theme, and memoirs aren't solely about character development. Eliminate.
• Option 2: Fairy tales are not about real - life events (they are fictional), and memoirs don't rely more on plot (they rely on real events). Eliminate.
• Option 3: This matches the analysis. Fairy tales use plot for theme, memoirs emphasize real - life events.
• Option 4: Fairy tales don't mainly use character development for theme, and memoirs don't rely on setting. Eliminate.

Answer:

The fairy tale would rely mostly on plot to express theme, and the memoir would emphasize the significance of real - life events.
