Which statement best describes a major theme of "The Tell-Tale Heart"?


A. Honesty can relieve you of your guilt and help you feel better


B. Fear can shape how we see things and how we act


C. Our sanity is determined by how we react to different situations


D. The truth is a matter of personal perception and beliefs

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Fear can shape how we see things and how we act.

Explanation:

The short story "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allen Poe revolves around the narrator trying to convince the readers of his sanity by narrating how and why he murdered the old man.

The narrator began to reveal why the hate for the man's blue eye led to his gruesome act of murder. He also reveals he could hear the old man's heartbeat on the eighth night that he decided to act swiftly in the killing. He mentioned how the old man comforted himself by attributing the fear in his heart to be the noise made by the wind, mouse, or even cricket. The narrator/ murderer also revealed how his own fear led to the swift action of killing the old man, "I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever."

Thus, the correct answer is option B.

So if your end goal is to own your own business. First, you might want to focus education, even if it might not be the best, so you can receive higher education on how business works.

In the table, describe each characteristic (tone, structure, purpose, word choice, sentence structure) of Lincoln’s First Inaugural Address.

Answers

Answer:

Tom: A formal tone was used, as the occasion required Lincoln to be serious and responsible, characteristics that require elaborate words and a high degree of formality that can demonstrate the speaker's dominance.

Structure: The speech had a simple and direct structure, allowing it to be easily understood by the crowd that was listening.

Purpose: Its purpose was to convey an image of gratitude, patriotism, responsibility, competence and efficiency. These characteristics would show how Lincoln was a great leader, capable of establishing a highly successful nation.

Choice of words: Despite the formality and elaborate words, Lincoln opted for words that would be understood by the general public and that would convey a direct and simple context, capable of carrying a message to anyone who listens to him.

Syntax: It presented a grammar with a high degree of perfection and was able to efficiently relate formality with simplicity and a strong and direct message.

Answer:

tone Lincoln uses a formal, calm, and firm tone with logical and emotional appeals to address the audience. He is careful to take a neutral stand in the political disagreement.

structure Lincoln starts by acknowledging the fears of some Southerners about the future under a Republican presidency and seeks to reassure them. He then presents a series of logical arguments against secession and explains what he thinks is the correct way to proceed according to the Constitution. Near the end of the speech, he uses emotional appeals in favor of national unity and urges Southerners to avoid a civil war.

purpose Lincoln mainly addresses Southerners to persuade them not to secede from the Union. He urges Southerners to make the right decision, trying to convince them he is willing to hear and accommodate their demands and will not interfere with their states' rights.

word choice Lincoln uses words such as Union, constitution, universal law, fundamental law, and organic law to remind Southerners of their affiliation to their country and the government.

****PLATO WORK PLZ HELP 30 POINTS**** Evaluate the end of the story when D introduces an element of dramatic irony. Why do you think the narration switches focus to the gun after the characters leave the ruined city? As the gun parts drive toward the broken gun, what mood is created for the reader? How is this ending an example of dramatic irony?

Answers

Answer:

The ending of the story allows the events to remain open-ended. The crew leaves the planet hoping to come back, believing that the gun has been destroyed. Only the reader knows that a small army of self-repairing gadgets and an atomic warhead are moving toward the gun. Dramatic irony occurs when the reader has more knowledge about a particular outcome than the characters. So, in “The Gun,” the reader knows that the gun will repair itself, but the characters flying away are unaware of this information. This ending evokes a mood of fear and suspense as the reader realizes that the weapon of destruction will regenerate itself and will most likely strike the crew and others once they return to the planet.

Explanation:

this is edmentum sample

Answer:

When Philip K. introduces the element of dramatic irony, it leaves the feeling of discontent. There wasn't a happy ending to this story because we know what might happen next. They wasn't exactly an ending because we know that there is self-repairing gadgets. The crew thought the gun was destroyed. The narration switches focus to the gun to inform the reader and not the characters. This evokes fear and uneasiness in the reader. The destructive weapon will soon regenerate itself, and will attack the crew when they return.

Explanation: I changed up the wording a bit from the edm entum answer so you might wanna change it up a bit as well.

"Caged Bird"
A free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wing
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.
But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through
his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and
his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.
The free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn bright lawn
and he names the sky his own
But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom
