Which theme is conveyed in this excerpt from "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe? TRUE!—nervous—very, very dreadfully nervo

us I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses—not destroyed—not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily—how calmly I can tell you the whole story. It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain; but once conceived, it haunted me day and night. Object there was none. Passion there was none. I loved the old man. He had never wronged me. He had never given me insult. For his gold I had no desire. I think it was his eye! yes, it was this! He had the eye of a vulture—a pale blue eye, with a film over it. Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees—very gradually—I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever. The insane have no sense of time. The insane are obsessed with mortality. The insane are incapable of using deception. The insane lack imagination. The insane live in a reality of their own.

A. "When she ... lived there."

This line only defines a specific detail about how the special agent survived through a fake name as a spy. No central theme is described through this sentence.

B. "Baissac’s goal ... resistance groups."

This statement provides the agent’s motive and the way she enacted the task provided. However, that does not completely cover everything in the passage.

C. "Baissac did ... her tasks."

Significant work is not specific, and Normandy and traveling by a bicycle are smaller and irrelevant details, not the big picture that should be concluded from this passage.

D. "As a ... German troops."

This is the statement that definitely defines the central idea of the excerpt. When we break this line into sections, we can see that it illustrates that she performed multiple essential tasks when appointed in Normandy. The phrase “sometimes dangerous tasks” describes the critical nature of the job she handled in there. And, also the opposition (German troops) is clearly mentioned in this sentence which helps to convey the idea very clearly.

ROMEO AND JULIET
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

No, death of Mercutio does not seem to be justified.

Death of Mercutio can not be justified because his death was accidental.

Neither Tybalt's death seem to be justified.

Explanation:

Romeo and Juliet is a Romantic Tragedy written by William Shakespeare.

In Act 3, Scene 1, of the play, in a feud between Tybalt and Mercutio, Mercutio was killed accidentally by Tybalt. Tybalt and Mercutio entered the sword fight after Tybalt continues to instigate Romeo for fight and Mercutio, being hot-tempered, challenged Tybalt for the feud. To stop the fight, Romeo enters the feud and in this, Tybalt's sword escapes Romeo's arm and stabs Mercutio to death.

So, this shows that Mercutio does not seem to die and his death can not be justified as his death was an accident.

Death of Tybalt also does not seem to be justified as he was killed in anger by Romeo to avenge the death of his friend, Mercutio. After killing Tybalt, Romeo also seem to realize that he should not have killed Tybalt.

<em>The key difference between a central idea and a motif is </em><em>b) A central idea is abstract, while a motif is concrete. </em>

A <u>central idea</u> of a literary work -the theme- is the dominant idea the author wants to conveys. <u>Motifs</u>, on the other hand, are all the devices the author uses to support that main idea, such as images, symbols or words. <u>Motifs</u> have a symbolic value and remind the reader about the theme.
