Titus wants to teach his friend how to dye a hard-boiled egg. He recites these instructions.

Fill a cup with ¼ cup of vinegar. Next, empty the dye packet into the vinegar. Stir the dye until it has dissolved into the vinegar. Then, put the egg in the dye and let it soak for three minutes. Once the egg reaches the desired color, remove it from the dye, and place it on a stand to dry. Then repeat the process for the remaining eggs.

His friend tries to follow his instructions, but halfway through she cannot remember the next step. Titus repeats the same instructions. His friend is able to complete the next step, but she is stuck again at the following step and becomes frustrated.

Based on Titus’s instructions and the outcome, at what part of being an effective speaker could Titus most improve?

giving precise directions to his listener
using signal words to show the order of his instructions
choosing language that matches the level of his audience
pausing to check that his listener understands

explanation:

huck's relationship with food is a prominent theme throughout the novel, and during his time on jackson's island and working his way down river, huck revels in and enjoys his ad hoc dining. in the first chapter, we observe huck is ironically trapped in a "civilized" world, when he would prefer to live freely in nature.

wordsworth tends to see nature as 'out there'; a presence which surrounds humans, and contributes to human life, but is different from humans. if you look at a typical wordsworth poem (there was a boy, ye knew him well ye rocks) - wordsworth talks about nature as something that needs to be learned about and understood, nature is different from us.  

if you look at a byron poem (the isles of greece is a good one) - byron looks at nature mainly for what it already means to man. wordsworth will look at a landscape and see the mountains, trees, valleys, and rivers as almost spiritual presences - wordsworth wants to get to know nature.  

byron will look at the same landscape and he will want to know who lives there, what are the villages? are there any farms or mines, is there some history?  

wordsworth looks at nature for what it is; byron is forever asking what it means.  

wordsworth thinks that humans are part of nature; byron thinks that nature is part of being human
