Which themes does Mr. Shiftlet help reveal

English

arlik [135]3 years ago
8 0

By the end of the story, Lucynell had been abandoned, and Mr. Shiftlet, appalled at the corruption in the world and in himself, sped alone through the rain down the road to Alabama. 

Mr. Shiftlet had married the oblivious Lucynell and convinced her mother to give him some money and the use of the car, ostensibly so that he could take his new bride on a proper honeymoon.  Shiftlet and Lucynell had set off on their trip and stopped at a diner, where Lucynell fell asleep over her meal.  Shiftlet paid for her food, told the waiter that she was just a hitchhiker, and abandoned her there at the restaurant. 

Shiftlet continued on his way, depressed and tormented by his own behavior.  Hungry for company, he picked up a young boy who actually had never even asked for a ride.  He talked to the boy as he drove along, remembering stories of his "sweet mother" with melancholy regret, but the boy did not share his sentimentality; he shouted epithets about Shiftlet's mother and his own, and leaped from the car.  Shiftlet was stunned as he realized "the rottenness of the world", and as a heavy raindrops began to fall, he careened off down the road to Mobile.

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

The elements that contribute to the sense of the rhythm of the Igbo language are:

a. the lack of contractions

c. the punctuation

Explanation:

The Igbo language has a strong foundation in the phonetics of vowels since the variety of tones are limited to mostly two, having no contractions and using the same kind of repetitive punctuation help to support the sense of the rhythm that the Igbo language uses, all this focuses in sounds more than what the words really mean.

d. Abigail claims that a cold wind has enveloped her. 4

h. Elizabeth Proctor denies any knowledge of John’s adultery. 6

c. Abigail claims that Mary’s form is coming to her in the shape of an evil bird. 8

e. The girls repeat Mary’s words in an annoying chant. 9

g. Reverend Hale quits the court. 10

Explanation:

Arthur Miller's <em>The Crucible</em> is a play that revolves around the Salem witch trials of 1962 where young girls were accused of partaking with the devil. The play delved deep into the community of Salem where people were wrongfully accused of the black arts and sentenced to death.

Act 3 is in the courtroom where the case was heard before Judge Danforth. Francis and Giles burst into the courtroom with 'evidence' but ended up making things worse.

John Proctor had come with Mary when he learned that his wife Elizabeth who's being held imprisoned is pregnant.

Mary then decides to tell the truth but when Abigail and the other girls came to the room, they all accused Mary of acting on them.

Abigail claims that a cold wind is engulfing her, indirectly accusing Mary of the act.

Then John Proctor told the court about his adultery with Abigail, which his wife denies.

When Elizabeth is summoned and asked about the lechery, she denies, which John then told her he's confessed.

Then Abigail and the girls began to act like they see a black evil bird coming towards them, and repeat whatever Mary says.

All of it was too much for Rev. hale who decided to quit the courtroom.

Usimov [2.4K]
It was Peter Vanderdonk, a descendant of a historian, who convinced the villagers to accept Rip Van Winkle's story. He said that everything Rip described about the time period he was coming from was true, and that there was no need to doubt his words. Thus, everyone believed Peter (as he was a successor of a learned man) and Rip was readmitted into his society.
