6 0

The Pit and the Pendulum is a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe. The narrator is rescued from his prison by the rats in his prison cell. The narrator is sentenced to death in an era where the most heinous tortures are thought up. His captors keep him drugged by putting a sedative in his water. Then they bind him with bandages from head to toe and place a huge razor sharp pendulum over him. As the pendulum swings back and forth, it moves closer and closer to him, ready to slice him in half. There are rats running around his cell. His captors have also placed spicy food nearby for him to eat. He panics at first but then gathers his thoughts and smears the bandages with the food. The rats run over him and chew through the bandages.

2. Write a letter to your brother who works in Saudi Arabia about the drought

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Address in Saudi Arabia:

Hi Brother,

I hope all is well at home. This area has a drought. A water shortage was the cause. We went with others to support the locals. We hauled several water containers and tanks near our town. When we arrived, we saw that the village-to-town water conduit was nearly totally destroyed. We phoned the city, and they responded within an hour. We gave water bottles and containers to every home. They're kind. We asked how long pipe repair would take, but the guys weren't sure. The village's drought impacted everyone. Dry wells prevented irrigation. We made sure they had adequate water for their home and irrigation needs. We were glad the pipe would be fixed by morning. After repairing the pipe, the residents thanked us, and we waved goodbye. It was great to live in a community with so many kind people. We hope to visit before I complete this letter. Keep writing and take care.

Explain how the request of Claudius and Gertrude upon Rosencrantz and Guildenstern is similar to the mission given to Reynaldo b

Vesna [10]

Both of these requests are similar in the sense that they both involve parents asking others to monitor their children and be attentive to what they are doing. Polonius wants someone to watch over Ophelia, while Claudius and Gertrude want Rosencratz and Guildenstern to watch over Hamlet. Shakespeare wants to show how, even though both of these are requests of parents who want their child watched, the intention and consequences in each case are very different.
