Foreshadowing is a warning of what is to come in the future. The tragedy of Oedipus the king oftentimes, if not entirely, relies on himself. Teiresias the blind prophet says to him: "You yourself are the very man you are looking for." The prophet is telling Oedipus that he is responsible for the plague, of course he refuses to listen to that horrible future. When Teiresias asks Oedipus if he knows where he comes from, he also foreshadows that Oedipus himself is responsible for slaying his own father. And a third one can be his marriage with his own mother. Oedipus is warned of everything, however, ironically his eyes do not help him see the bad times for him, his family and his kingdom.

In the story, many of the people in the village go along with Uncle Matt’s plan. Why do you think this is? How does Uncle Matt a
leonid [27]

In the story "The Red Bow" by George Saunders, we learn of a town that gets together in order to kill a massive number of dogs due to the death of a girl who was bitten by a rabid dog.

The man who organizes such killing is Uncle Matt. Despite the fact that the measures he suggests are extreme, many of the people of the town support Uncle Matt's decision. One of the main reasons why this happens is because Uncle Matt is able to appeal to the people's emotions. He does this through the use of a red bow as a symbol for the life that was lost. He also achieves this by highlighting the importance of community and unity in the life of the town.

There are many examples of real-life situations in which grief or strong emotions cause people to take extreme measures. An example is the terrorist group IRA that developed in Ireland. This group took extreme measures in order to achieve their goals, including assassinations and bombs. Their actions were caused by the anger and grief they felt towards the English domination of Ireland.

natita [175]
In the phrase "to buzz forth doleful lamentations", the word "buzz" is an example of an onomatopoeia. Basically, it means that the sound of bees flying or "buzzing" expresses a melancholy expression. This could be considered an onomatopoeia, but it also is used to say the bees "spoke" which implies that they "buzzed" as in it was their way of speaking, diction if you will. The whole sentence is "<span>At length, as if comprehending their disaster, they settled down in clusters on a dry branch of a neighboring tree, whence they seemed to contemplate the prostrate ruin, and to </span>buzz forth doleful lamentations<span> over the downfall of their republic" which clearly says they SEEMED, which rules out diction as an answer. So, the answer should be onomatopoeia. </span>Hope this helps!

Answer: C) onomatopoeia.

What is the effect of the following description from chapter one: The windows were ajar and gleaming white against the fresh gra
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

- Engross the readers in the narrative and pose the lighthearted tone by using descriptive diction and expressive imagery.

Explanation:

As per the question, the effect or impact that Fitzgerald wishes to create through the given description is to engulf the readers in the plot of the story and establish the tone that would provide the readers with a specific perspective to view the text and feel about it.

He employs descriptive words like (frosted wedding-cake, wine..colored rug) along with the vivid imagery (like pale flags, gleaming white..fresh grass') that assists the readers to visualize and experience themselves being present in the room and connect to it effectively. Along with that, he combines the natural with the artificial reflected through the invoking images of breeze('blew through the room') and grass('seemed to grow'). The flowy composition of sentences and the words like 'fresh and rippled' connotes a cheery and blithe tone.
