Why does Gothic literature focus on the past? What effect does this have?

English
1 answer:
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The term Gothic originates with the architecture created by the Germanic Goth tribes that was later expanded to include most medieval architecture. Ornate, intricate, and heavy-handed, this style of architecture proved to be the ideal backdrop for both the physical and the psychological settings in a new literary genre, one that concerned itself with elaborate tales of mystery, suspense, and superstition. While there are several notable precursors, the height of the Gothic period, which was closely aligned with Romanticism, is usually considered to have been the years 1764 to about 1840, however, its influence extends to 20th-century authors such as V.C. Andrews, Iain Banks, and Anne Rice.

How we see jack and ralph differing priorities in chapter 3
Afina-wow [57]

Jack and Ralph disagree over leadership styles and the priorities of what must be done on the island.  Ralph feels that building the shelters should be the group's biggest priority; he worries about the littluns who do not sleep well at night and the possibility of more bad weather.   Most of Ralph's frustrations stem from not having enough help from the other older boys on the shelters.  They all agreed in the meeting that it was a good idea, but the actual implementation has been more challenging.

When Ralph asks Jack to help with the shelters, Jack refuses, saying that meat and hunting is more important to the tribe.  After the boys debate that their island might not be a "good island," the boys come to an understanding that they both want different things, but the issue remains unresolved as to which is more important.

How Might a news sources coverage of presidential speech provide less accurate information than a personal reading of the speech
aalyn [17]
The news sources form of the speech might not have the speech entirely, meaning that the clips they do have could be easily taken out of context.

A personal reading of the transcript has the full speech, and it can be interpreted fully without anything being taken out of context.

Which story premise most clearly contains a supernatural element?
Greeley [361]

Answer:

C. Every time a certain church bell rings, something terrible happens to Guy

Explanation:

In english, we say that an element is supernatural when it cannot be explicable by scientific laws and therefore cannot be proven as real. Examples of supernatural things are: miracles, ghosts, angels, demons, ufos, superstitions.

Looking at the options we have, option C mentions that every time a certain church bell rings, something terrible happens to Guy. We can see that this is an example of superstition since something terrible is related to the fact that the bell rings or not. Thus, this is an example of a supernatural element.

Options A and D don't have supernatural elements (a haunted house is made by people so it's not supernatural). Option B has the luck element but it's just a thought the Dr has and not really a supernatural element.
