At last, late in the day, they heard a bellowing, low and faint as though far away. They listened and soon heard it again, a lit

tle louder and very fierce and dreadful. "It is he! it is he!" cried Theseus; "and now for the fight!" Then he shouted, so loudly that the walls of the Labyrinth answered back, and the sound was carried upward to the sky and outward to the rocks and cliffs of the mountains. The Minotaur heard him, and his bellowings grew louder and fiercer every moment. "He is coming!" cried Theseus, and he ran forward to meet the beast. The seven maidens shrieked, but tried to stand up bravely and face their fate; and the six young men stood together with firm-set teeth and clinched fists, ready to fight to the last. Soon the Minotaur came into view, rushing down the passage towards Theseus, and roaring most terribly. He was twice as tall as a man, and his head was like that of a bull with huge sharp horns and fiery eyes and a mouth as large as a lion's; but the young men could not see the lower part of his body for the cloud of dust which he raised in running. When he saw Theseus with the sword in his hand coming to meet him, he paused, for no one had ever faced him in that way before. Then he put his head down, and rushed forward, bellowing. But Theseus leaped quickly aside, and made a sharp thrust with his sword as he passed, and hewed off one of the monster's legs above the knee. –“The Cruel Tribute,” James Baldwin Explain how the author creates the suspenseful moment when the Minotaur arrives. Use the passage if you need to review the story’s climax

Answer:

James Baldwin speeds up the action to create suspense for the reader. By moving the action forward so quickly, the author leaves the reader anxious to discover if Theseus saves himself and the other characters from the Minotaur.

Lesson 7 'To Kill A Mockingbird'
Degger [83]

Answer:

1. First, Boo Radley is a figure of fear and mystery for the children, representing an unknown entity that may be violent, insane, feral or otherwise wild, and vindictive. Second, Boo Radley is a frightened man when he finally appears in person, afraid to walk home by himself on a dark night.

2. An example of prejudice is when Boo Radley is excluded from society just because he is not like everyone else. He is different because he never comes out of his house. Due to this act of prejudice, the kids do not go near his house and the townspeople are led to believe that they should fear him.

3.Bob Ewell's attack on the children and the subsequent appearance of Boo Radley represents the final act of Jem's and Scout's loss of innocence. The theme of courage and cowardice is found in the scurrilous decision by Bob Ewell to kill Atticus's children and the heroic actions of Boo to protect them.

A speaker says:
seropon [69]

Answer:

C). I thought it would be fun to wake up early. But when my alarm went off at four o'clock AM, I thought, "Nope, the early bird can just have that worm."

Explanation:

As per the question, the third option exemplifies the most appropriate way to format as per the Basic Style Guide. It does not involve the informal phrases like 'you know, I was like' which signals that it <u>complies with the standard rules(punctuation, grammar, etc.)</u> in order to communicate the intended message clearly and effectively to the specific audience. The other options fail to create that impact. Hence, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

Near the end of "My Last Duchess," what do we learn about the duke's intentions?
Fed [463]

Near the end of "My Last Duchess," what we learn about the speaker's intentions is, he: plans to marry the count's daughter.

From the final part of the poem, we learn about the speaker's intentions to marry the count's daughter. This can be deduced from these lines:

"Is ample warrant that no just pretence

Of mine for dowry will be disallowed;

Though his fair daughter’s self, as I avowed."

He told the person with who he was having the conversation about his intentions to marry the Count's daughter.
