He seemed to be tormented by some strange fancy or apprehension. In spite of every effort to fix his attention on the conversati

on of his companions, I noticed that every now and then he would turn his head slowly round, give a glance over his shoulder, and then withdraw it with a sudden jrk, as if something painful had met his eye. How does the excerpt exemplify Gothic fiction?

Answer :

Gothic fiction is defined as a genre of literature that combines the elements of  death, horror and romance in one fictional work.

This extract from "Adventure of the Mysterious Stranger" by Washington Irving exemplifies gothic fiction by reminding the reader of the presence of evil . The extract speaks of the presence of a ghost that the person described in the extract was afraid of.

Gothic fiction is characterised by an atmosphere of suspense or mystery, shown in this case when the writer is saying that "something painful had met his eye".

Moreover, the word "tormented" when describing how the character feels and the phrase "a sudden jrk" when describing how he reacts, create the image of the character being afflicted and even frightened by something, which is also a characteristic of Gothic fiction.

The whole paragraph is conveying mystery, fright and even darkness.

Which of these is a question used to develop a thesis statement? What evidence supports my position? Why is this important to me
prisoha [69]

Answer:

You can develop a thesis statement by answering three questions:

What is my topic?

What am I trying to say about that topic?

Why is this important to me or my reader?

Explanation:

The thesis statement is placed within the introduction of the essay. It is usually found at the end of the first paragraph, but if the essay is particularly long, the thesis may also appear in the second or third paragraph.  If the "essay" is only one paragraph long, the thesis statement is usually in the first or second sentence.

Give at least two examples of personal experienced when you witnessed bias/prejudice and what you did? write your answer on give
kakasveta [241]

This question is completely up to your personal experiences, and therefore I can't answer it unless I know you personally.

But I will give an explanation to what prejudice is so you can answer your question yourself.

<em>Prejudice is somewhat similar to discrimination, where you judge people based on what group they belong to (etc. race, gender, sexuality) without reason. Something similar to racism. People can be prejudiced because they belong to any group.</em>

<em />

I hope you can answer the question well. :)
