Which quotation from "The Black Cat" best supports the inference that the narrator feels he deserves to be punished for his crue

lty?
“…I experienced a sentiment half of horror, half of remorse, for the crime of which I had been guilty; but it was, at best, a feeble and equivocal feeling, and the soul remained untouched.”

“I knew myself no longer. My original soul seemed, at once, to take its flight from my body and a more than fiendish malevolence, gin-nurtured, thrilled every fibre of my frame.“

“...I knew that in so doing I was committing a sin…even beyond the reach of the infinite mercy of the Most Merciful and Most Terrible God.”

“Although I thus readily accounted to my reason, if not altogether to my conscience, for the startling fact just detailed, it did not the less fail to make a deep impression upon my fancy.”

Answer:

The quotation from <em>The Black Cat</em> that best supports the inference that the narrator feels he deserves to be punished for his cruelty is <u>the third one</u>: <em>“...I knew that in so doing I was committing a sin…even beyond the reach of the infinite mercy of the Most Merciful and Most Terrible God.” </em>

Explanation:

By reading these lines we can understand how <u>the speaker in conscious about the wrong he has done.</u> He knew what he was doing and knew that was wrong and did it anyways. <u>He knew it was a sin</u>, and a big one. So big that it was "<em>beyond the reach of the infinite mercy of the Most Merciful and Most Terrible God</em>". This means that <em>he knew he deserved a punishment from God</em> that, even with His infinite mercy, wouldn't be able to forgive what he had done.

If you could change one major historical event, what would it be? Include present, past, and future tense in your paragraph.
madreJ [45]

Answer:

I would change the Treaty of Versailles that ended World War I. The American President Wilson tried to persuade the allies to be forgiving, but his European counterparts instead stuck it to the defeated, especially Germany, demanding huge reparations that impoverished them and created the conditions for fascism to triumph. The vengeful allies of World War I created Hitler, and if I could, I would change their minds so that Hitler and his Nazis never had the chance to come to power; they would have remained a far-right fringe group in a rebuilt and prosperous Germany.

Early Sunday morning can best be discribed as a poem
Mekhanik [1.2K]
Try reading some poems about the morning, such as Sylvia Plath's Moring Song, or T.S. Elliots Morning at the Window for inspiration.  Think about how you feel about early Sunday mornings and try to emulate the mood of stillness and serenity so often associated with the morning.  Hope this helps. :)
