Elli Vossen and Jo Koophuis were working across from me in the office. Sometime between eleven and twelve o'clock, I looked up.

There in the doorway stood a man in civilian clothes. I hadn't heard the door. He was holding a revolver, pointing it at us. He came in. "Stay put," he said in Dutch. "Don't move." How does Miep build suspense in this passage?
by using the personal pronoun “I” to tell her tale
by giving specific details about the time of day
by recounting the events as they happened
by describing the layout of the building

Answer: The right answer is "by recounting the events as they happened."

Explanation: The use of the pronoun "I" makes the narration more personal and arguably more engaging, but it does not necessarily build suspense. In addition, Miep Gies is not providing the reader with detailed information about the office or the time of the day - quite the opposite, she is being rather sparing in her description. However, she is recounting the events as they happened, chronologically, and she is doing it in an almost telegraphic way, using short sentences with just the necessary, unambiguous, words, and using direct speech to quote the exact words that were spoken by the man with the gun.

Why is Dante’s work considered a comedy and NOT a tragedy? What are the differences between the two? Your answer should be at le
Alex_Xolod [135]
Dante's Divine Comedy is considered to be a comedy and not a tragedy for several reasons. The most important one is that it ends happily - the protagonist goes through Hell (Inferno), Purgatory (Purgatorio), and finally comes into Heaven (Paradiso) in the end. Tragedies are characterized by tragic and sad endings - usually with some characters dying. This is not the case in Divine Comedy - the protagonist manages to enter Heaven and finally understand the meaning of life. 
Additionally, Dante named his work Comedy in order to show everyone that comedies don't have to be written using low style only (tragedies were always considered something elitist, using high style difficult to understand). He wrote Divine Comedy using elevated, sophisticated language in order to show it can be done.

What language tells others that our feelings, thoughts, and opinions are separate from theirs?
amid [387]

The language that tells others that our feelings, thoughts, and opinions are separate from theirs is an "I" language.

I language in linguistics, also known as  Internal language, refers to a person's perception and understanding of a language as opposed to how it is communicated and transmitted in society at large.

An assertive, non-aggressive method to convey your thoughts and feelings is by using "I" language, commonly referred to as "I" statements. People are more apt to listen and feel less defensive when you use the "I" pronoun. By doing this, you may diffuse situations and establish yourself politely.

Thus, when we want to convey to people that our feelings, thoughts, and beliefs are separate from theirs and that we are solely responsible for them, we employ the pronoun "I."
