Read this excerpt from “The Black Cat” by Edgar Allan Poe.

Anestetic [448]3 years ago
6 0

A. Readers gain insight into the narrator's belief that he is possessed by a demon.

This is the best option because the passage describes how he believes he has been possessed by a demon. From this passage, we don't actually know what happens once he is possessed. Option B says that it gives a reason for the narrator's behavior, but we don't know what that behavior is to make this a correct choice. Option C is wrong because first person invites us in to the narrator's mind. It doesn't not keep us at a distance. Option D is also not correct because we don't know anything about his treatment of a cat from this passage.

Citing passages from a text is one way to _____
Oksanka [162]

Citing passages from a text is one way to provide elaboration in an essay.

The reason why this would be your answer is because when you cite your source, it allows to person to go to the source to see more information about the quote you got, and not leave them empty handed. If you didn't cite you source, it would be considered plagiarism, and wouldn't allow the reader to get to know more about the quote and what happens.

Piggy represents the voice of reason and logic, but is ignored explain why (3 sentence)
ryzh [129]
In the Lord of the Flies, the boys find themselves stranded on a deserted island with no adults to supervise them.

At first, the boys begin by forming rules and a structured way of life. In doing so, they attempt to be orderly. It isn't long, however, before these rules quickly begin to be disregarded. 

As they begin to disregard the rules, they begin to give into their savage sides. They stop wearing clothes, they cannot keep the signal fire going, and they only want to hunt and chant. They begin to be afraid of a "thing" lurking in the woods (which, of course, is not a monster at all) and even begin worshipping a dead animal. As their savagery grows, the boys do not want to hear anything reasonable and logical.

Piggy tries to be the voice of reason and logic, but the boys (with the exception of a few) don't want to hear it. On a literal level, Piggy's physical appearance (his weight, his asthma, his glasses) make him an outcast. He is forever calling the boys "children," even though he is the same age as them. This is one reason that the boys ignore Piggy.

However, Piggy is ignored for symbolic reasons as well. The boys have given into their dark sides and as a result Piggy is ignored. Their lives are given over to hunting, chanting, and savage dancing. When Piggy is finally killed at the end of the novel, it symbolizes the death of reason in the boys. All civilization in them has been destroyed by their time on the island and the fear it has created within them.
