navik [9.2K]3 years ago
5 0

The engine of the story is the narrator's insistence, not on his innocence (which would be normal) but on his sanity. But this reveals a self-destructive drive, since it is pretending to demonstrate sanity through guilt in crime. His denial of madness is based, above all, on the systematic nature of his homicidal behavior, on his precision and on the rational explanation of an irrational behavior. This rationality, however, is undermined by its lack of motivation - "There was no reason. There was no passion. »-. However, the murderer claims that the idea was hovering day and night in his head. Thus, the final scene is nothing more than the result of the character's guilt. Like many other characters in traditional macabre literature, passions dictate their nature. And despite all his efforts, evidently, the pretense of having heard the heart beat at a distance, despite his acute sensitivity, is the evidence of madness and insanity. Readers of the time surely felt very interested in the subject of the allegation of transient madness that recreates the story.

What kind of essay is Walden?
irina1246 [14]
<span> Since Walden is based on the author's personal experience which he decided to share, this book can be considered as a narrative essay. In his book,  Henry David Thoreau represents all his life experiences and realizations that came up to him when he was living in natural surroundings. In a narrative essay, the writer tells a story about a real-life experience, so I bet that Walden belongs to this kind.</span>

Select from the drop-down menu to complete the sentence with parallel structure.
velikii [3]

<span>I would rather spend my vacation in a big city than in a mountain cabin.</span>

Parallel structure refers to having the same structure or parts of speech in the same sequence and function. In the sentence, the parallel structure that needs to be paired with is “in a big city” which is a prepositional phrase; so, the choice that has the same format is “in a mountain cabin” which is also a prepositional phrase. “To go,” “staying,” and “being” are obviously different for they are either an infinitive phrase or participial phrase.

Vlad [161]

In "Civil Disobedience," Thoreau championed the idea that if a government is not going to improve itself, then it is the duty of the people to refuse to support it. This paved the way for non-violent protests, such as those led by Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr
