Prior to Dee leaving home, the everyday objects in her household were just that- everyday objects. She took no special notice of any of them. However, once she returns home, all of these objects represent great culture significance to her. She is incredibly enthused about how great the wooden benches and old quilts are because she thinks it is in-style to be in touch with her own culture.

Answer:

The name Dee represents the ancestral heritage to the narrator.

The narrator is the mother of the two daughters in the story "Everyday Use" written by Alice Walker. The two sisters Maggie and Dee are very distinct from each other. The younger one was Dee whose name was symbolic of the hardships and struggles which their ancestors had gone through. On the other hand, for Dee, her culture was a means to preserve it and keep it for reference in the future.

Read this excerpt from "The tell-tale heart" by Edgar Allan Poe. Then fill the blanks in the paragraphs that follows.
Lorico [155]

Answer:

A character vs self

The exposition

Explanation:

The options you were given are the following:

  • A character vs self
  • A character vs nature
  • A character vs society

  • The exposition
  • The climax
  • The falling action
  • The resolution

<em>The Tell-Tale Heart</em> is a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe. It's told from the perspective of an unnamed narrator who is trying to convince the readers of his sanity while describing a murder he committed. He murdered an old man with a pale blue <em>vulture-eye. </em>After the murder, he begins hearing a thumping sound, which he interprets as the dead man's beating heart. The sound terrifies him and leads him to confess what he has done to officers.

The given passage is the beginning of the story, which means that it's the exposition. It introduces the characters and the conflict. In literature, there are two basic types of conflict:

  • Internal conflict - a character struggles with their own opposing desires or beliefs.
  • External conflict - a character struggles with an outside force, such as another character, nature, or society.

Here, we have an example of an inner (character vs self) conflict. The narrator tells us that the old man never wronged him and that he even loved him. However, he feels the need to murder him, as he explains it, because of his pale blue eye of a vulture, and decides to do that.
