Read the passage: You fancy me mad. Madmen know nothing. But you should have seen me. You should have seen how wisely I proceede

d--with what caution--with what foresight--with what dissemination I went to work! How does the writer's use of mad and madmen arouse fear in the reader? It makes the reader wonder whether the speaker means crazy or angry. The reader recognizes that the speaker is an extremely rational thinker. The reader knows that madmen are unpredictable and difficult to control. The reader knows that the speaker is the only sane person in the story.

"<span>You fancy me mad. Madmen know nothing. But you should have seen me. You should have seen how wisely I proceeded—with what caution—with what foresight—with what dissemination I went to work!" —Edgar Allen Poe (from The Tell-tale Heart)

In this poem, the speaker tells the reader that he is sane shortly before describing himself as a "madman." The irony of this is frightening in the sense that the reader understands that the story has occurred, and they must sit hopelessly awaiting the end. That reader understands that a man who insists on being sane, yet has done such a terrible thing, cannot be so. The speaker is clearly insane, so the reader, being sane (hopefully) is fearful because of this fact.

Answer: The reader knows that madmen are unpredictable and difficult to control.

Hope this helps!

Read this excerpt from The Land, Part 2. Now, I don't know what possessed me in that moment to say the next thing I did. Maybe I
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

B. Character vs. self.

Explanation:

In the story "The Land" part 2 by Mildred D. Taylor, we see the character of Paul riding Ghost Wind. Paul is a mixed race of a white father and a black mother, but whose father made sure that he enjoys the same rights as that of his white brothers. Set in  the post slavery era, the story revolves around the lives of Paul and his best friend Mitchell, who is the son of a worker at Paul's father's farm.

The given excerpt is from when Paul decided to let Mitchell ride his horse Ghost Wind, even though he was not supposed to ride it, considering he was the son of a worker. The decision of Paul in allowing his best friend to ride the horse is against their very upbringing, for workers have inferior rights. Mitchell, being the son of a worker, is supposed to be lower than Paul, his master's son. But foregoing all these, Paul decides to let him enjoy. The particular excerpt is a conflict of interest between Paul's character and his own self. He even states that he "<em>don't know what possessed me in that moment to say the next thing I did"</em>. This shows the conflict he has within himself.
