Jane Eyre
by Charlotte Bronte (excerpt)
In the following excerpt the narrator, Jane Eyre, describes an interaction with her nursemaid, Bessie.
Bessie asked if I would have a book: the word book acted as a transient stimulus, and I begged her to fetch Gulliver's Travels from the library. This
book I had again and again perused with delight. I considered it a narrative of facts, and discovered in it a vein of interest deeper than what I found in
fairy tales: for as to the elves, having sought them in vain among foxglove leaves and bells, under mushrooms and beneath the ground-ivy mantling
old wall-nooks, I had at length made up my mind to the sad truth, that they were all gone out of England to some savage country where the woods
were wilder and thicker, and the population more scant; whereas, Lilliput and Brobdignag being in my creed, solid parts of the earth's surface,
doubted not that I might one day, by taking a long voyage, see with my own eyes the little fields, houses, and trees, the diminutive people, the tiny
cows, sheep, and birds of the one realm; and the corn-fields forest-high, the mighty mastiffs, the monster cats, the tower-like men and women of the
other. Yet, when this cherished volume was now placed in my hand-when I turned over its leaves, and sought in its marvellous pictures the charm
had, till now, never failed to find-all was eerie and dreary, the giants were gaunt goblins, the plgmies malevolent and fearful imps, Gulliver a most
desolate wanderer in most dread and dangerous regions. I closed the book, which I dared no longer peruse, and put it on the table, beside the
untasted tart.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The author develops the narrator's character through the historical context, portraying the narrator as a person who reads novels as entertainment. A detail consistent with this historical period.

Explanation:

"Jane Eyre" is a book written by Charllotte Bronte and tells the story of How Jane Eyre managed to overcome all her difficulties through study, intelligence and perseverance. Although the book does not determine what period of time this story takes place, it is possible to determine that this story takes place during the late Georgian period and the Victorian period. At that time, people didn't have access to internet and television like we have. The most common forms of entertainment during this period were reading and traveling. As we can see in reading the excerpt shown in the question above, Jane uses reading as entertainment since childhood, which was normal for the society in which she lived.

Which detail best characterizes the narrators uncle in the excerpt in a journey to the center of the earth

Answers

Hi. Unfortunately you didn't show the excerpt your question refers to. This makes it impossible for your question to be answered. However, when searching for your question on the internet, I could find another question exactly like yours, which had the text shown in the attached figure. In that case, I hope the answer below will help you.

A detail of the text that characterizes the narrator's uncle well are the lines "As I said, my uncle, Professor Hardwigg, was a very learned man; and I now add a most kind relative."

That's because these lines summarize two very striking points of the narrator's uncle's personality, which allows the reader to have a strong view of this man and even be able to understand the way he behaves throughout the story. In addition, the narrator shows evidence that the uncle has, in fact, these characteristics, showing how the uncle is a cultured and scholarly man, who values science and studies, especially in relation to mineralogy, in addition to showing that the uncle valued family ties and was very affectionate with his relatives.

Before finalizing your answer, it is important that you know that "Journey to the center of the earth" is a book written by Jules Verne, which shows the story of how Axel, the narrator, and his uncle discover an ancient document that guide them to a series of underground caves, where they live many adventures.

Read the excerpt. From “The Lake Isle of Innisfree” by William Butler Yeats I will arise and go now, for always night and day I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore: While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements gray, I hear it in the deep heart’s core. What do the “roadway” and “pavements gray” in “The Lake Isle of Innisfree” represent? the carefree and peaceful life that Innisfree offers him the grief the speaker feels when he is not with his family the dreariness of the speaker’s life away from Innisfree the joy the speaker feels that he can visit Innisfree in his heart

Answers

Answer:

The dreariness of the speaker’s life away from Innisfree.

Explanation:

The lines 'While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey, I hear it in the deep heart’s core' refer to a feeling of closeness to and remembrance of a place dear to the speaker’s heart. There is an implicit sense of removal, of physical distance, contrasted to an emotional proximity.

So we know it reflects his life away from the idyllic Innisfree. Futhermore, the general tone of the phrase, the depiction of the pavements' colour (rather a dull one), appear to suggest a certain general dreariness.
