Read the excerpt from “The Black Cat."
For the most wild, yet most homely narrative
which I am about to pen, I neither expect nor
solicit belief. Mad indeed would I be to expect it,
in a case where my very senses reject their own
evidence. Yet, mad am I not—and very surely do
I not dream. But to-morrow I die, and to-day !
would unburthen my soul. My immediate purpose
is to place before the world, plainly, succinctly,
and without comment, a series of mere
household events. In their consequences, these
events have terrifiedhave tortured-have
destroyed me.
Which details support the idea that the first point of view creates as sense of suspense about what is to come in the story

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The details that create the sense of suspense about what is to come in the story are the narrator's reactions and his words "these events have terrifiedhave tortured-have destroyed me."

Explanation:

As we can see, as soon as the lines begin, the narrator begins to warn people that he is neither crazy nor dreaming. He is describing certain events that, according to him, have been traumatizing and have destroyed him.

Our position as readers is to wait for something that will generate suspense or fear, because the author is definitely not going to describe a pleasant scene.

Those are the clues we have to deduce the details of what is to come in the story.

If I were able to write a screenplay for any historically important person who is alive I would choose Queen Elizabeth II. I would choose her because of how she has ruled over the United Kingdom (England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland), numerous other realms and territories as well as head of the Commonwealth, the group of 53 sovereign nations that includes many former British territories. She has also influenced the government and political affairs. Queen Elizabeth II has also been declared the longest-reigning British monarch in history due to passing Queen Victoria’s record of 63 years and 216 days on the throne.

What is The developed theme in the mysteries of udolpho

Family

Explanation:

The Mysteries of Udolpho as written by Ann Radcliffe is a novel that has its settings in 1584, somewhere in France and northern Italy and it narrates the situation a young French maiden Emily St Aubert found herself in after her father's demise.

The developed theme is that of Family as she is kept captive in a castle by Signor Montoni who married her aunt Madame Cheron. She faces further family conflict from her aunt Cheron who refuses her from marrying the man she wants.

Read the Greek myth "Midas" retold by Thomas Bulfinch and answer the question. [1] Bacchus, on a certain occasion, found his old schoolmaster and foster-father, Silenus, missing. The old man had been drinking, and in that state wandered away, and was found by some peasants, who carried him to their king, Midas. Midas recognized him, and treated him hospitably, entertaining him for ten days and nights with an unceasing round of jollity. [2] On the eleventh day he brought Silenus back, and restored him in safety to his pupil. Whereupon Bacchus offered Midas his choice of a reward, whatever he might wish. He asked that whatever he might touch should be changed into gold. Bacchus consented, though sorry that he had not made a better choice. [3] Midas went his way, rejoicing in his new-acquired power, which he hastened to put to the test. He could scarce believe his eyes when he found a twig of an oak, which he plucked from the branch, become gold in his hand. He took up a stone; it changed to gold. He touched a sod; it did the same. He took up an apple from the tree; you would have thought he had robbed the garden of the Hesperides. His joy knew no bounds, and as soon as he got home, he ordered the servants to set a splendid repast on the table. Then he found to his dismay that whether he touched bread, it hardened in his hand; or put a morsel to his lip, it defied his teeth. He took a glass of wine, but it flowed down his throat like melted gold. [4] In consternation at the unprecedented affliction, he strove to divest himself of his power; he hated the gift he had lately coveted. But all in vain; starvation seemed to await him. He raised his arms, all shining with gold, in prayer to Bacchus, begging to be delivered from his glittering destruction. Bacchus, merciful deity, heard and consented. "Go," said he, "to River Pactolus, trace its fountain-head, there plunge yourself and body in, and wash away your fault and its punishment." He did so, and scarce had he touched the waters before the gold-creating power passed into them, and the river sands became changed into gold, as they remain to this day. Select two key details that could be included in a summary of the myth. Bacchus granted Midas's wish to have the golden touch. Bacchus sometimes found his teacher Silenus missing. Midas entertained Silenus in his kingdom for ten days. Midas received a wish for returning Silenus to Bacchus. Silenus was found by peasants and carried to Midas.

Select the correct text in the passage. Hamlet wants to avenge his father's murder. However, his indecision prevents him from taking action. Which excerpt from act IV marks the turning point of Shakespeare's tragedy? Contagion to this world. Now could I drink hot blood, And do such bitter business as the day Would quake to look on. (Hamlet, act IV, scene III ) O heavens, die two months ago, and not forgotten yet? Then there's hope a great man's memory may outlive his life half a year: but, by'r lady, he must build churches then; (Hamlet, act IV, scene II ) Now might I do it pat, now he is praying; And now I'll do't—and so he goes to heaven, And so am I reveng'd. That would be scann'd: A villain kills my father; and for that I, his sole son, do this same villain send To Heaven O, this is hire and salary, not revenge. (Hamlet, act IV, scene III) O, it offends me to the soul, to hear a robustious periwig-pated fellow tear a passion to tatters, to very rags, to split the ears of the groundlings, who, for the most part, are capable of nothing but inexplicable dumb shows and noise. I would have such a fellow whipped for o'erdoing Termagant; it out-herods Herod: pray you avoid it. (Hamlet, act IV, scene II)

Explanation:

The above excerpt shows exactly the indecision and the urning point of Shakespeare's tragedy. That's because this excerpt reveals the moment when Hamlet comes across his father's killer. Hamlet wants to avenge his father's death by killing the murderer, but when he finds the murderer, he realizes that he is praying.

Although this is the perfect time for his vigil, since it would be easy to kill a man who is praying, Hamlet realizes that he would be doing the killer a favor by sending him to heaven since he was not practicing any sin. For this reason, Hamlet decides to kill him at another time, when he is sinning, so that his soul goes to hell.

write a letter toyour friend in another school telling him or her about three changes that have occurred in your school which is bringing effective teaching and learning​

Answers

Explanation:

. It is clear that children may arrive at school ready to learn in a number of different ways. One way is to have high levels of language, emergent literacy, and world knowledge acquired at home or in preschool. Equally important, though, is readiness in the emotional, social, and motivational realms: the ability to adapt to the new constraints of the classroom, the social skills that are needed to participate effectively in classroom discourse, and the self-esteem and sense of agency required to work hard and learn intentionally. School learning is a social as well as a cognitive process, one influenced by the relationships between student and teacher and among students. Furthermore, what children learn at school is not exclusively academic content; schools are designed to make children productive citizens who are respectful of the diversity of their society. While there has been a great deal of research on the social and motivational determinants of school success for mainstream children, attention to these matters with regard to language-minority children has focused more on issues of mismatch between the social rules these children bring from home and those that obtain in the classroom. In this chapter, we identify some of the salient themes in research on social factors as related to academic achievement for language-minority children.

School uniform assumes a key part in advancing pride, fearlessness, and a sensation of having a place inside the understudy body. These variables add to understudies' prosperity, eliminating the extra tensions of choosing what to wear and added pressure of living up to the assumptions of their companions.

Wearing the right school uniform shows understudies discipline and helps in decreasing non-appearance. Understudies don't have to focus on their appearance, however the attention is on learning and acceptable conduct. They are not decided by what they wear yet by how they act, and this learning is taken forward when they grow up.

Why is ‘for a second repeated in the paragraph beginning 'Conor frowned, and for a second the whole room seemed to get darker'? In A MONSTER CALLS

Answers

Answer:

The repetition of "for a second" is done to emphasize how quickly Conor's sensations and emotions (which lasted for a second) were felt.

Explanation:

In "A monster calls" we are presented with the following paragraph:"Conor frowned, and for a second the whole room seemed to get darker, for a second it felt like the whole house was shaking, for a second it felt like he could reach down and tear the whole floor right out of the dark and loamy earth."

In this paragraph we can see the use of the figure of speech called Anaphor, which allows a word, or a group of words, to be repeated to emphasize some message that the author wishes to convey. In this paragraph we can see the repetition of "for a second", which was done to emphasize the speed with which Conor felt emotions and sensations.
