The two words in the above sentence which are predicate adjectives are d. dry and e. smooth. 
A predicate adjective is similar to a subject adjective. It modifies the subject of the sentence. It is also sometimes called a subject complement because it adds to or complements the subject. It adds an attribute to a subject. For example, a simple sentence is:
I love cars. 
The object is "I", the verb is "love" and the subject is "cars". The predicate is a combination of the verb and the subject. If I add the word "red" to the sentence ie. 
I love red cars. 
<span>I am describing the cars as being red. Therefore, in this case the predicate adjective is the word "red". </span>

The Narrator from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Black Cat" is being charged with the murder of his wife and will face a criminal trial.
o-na [289]

The narrator from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Black Cat", by deciding to plea "not guilty due to insanity", is doing something many people charged with murder do: blaming their own acts on a certain "demonic" mindset, which can be caused by evil spirits or even drugs (legal or illegal). The narrator has a history of alcohol abuse, which, according to his own testimony throughout the short story, led him to cut one of his cat's eyes out of its socket. He'd also been violent to his wife, not only verbally, and said he'd committed violent acts precisely because of their malignant essence. This man is no good. Therefore, there's no point in validating his plea of "not guilty due to insanity" and he should indeed be charged with murder. After all, he killed his wife with the strike of an axe upon her head, just because she wanted to stop him from killing their cat. As the narrator admits, he was then possessed by unstoppable anger, and that's not a reason for claiming to have done anything due to insanity at all.

Describe the story behind author Angie Thomas’s “The Hate U Give.” Why did she write it, and how did she come up with the title?
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Okay, I read this book <em>and </em>watched the movie. The book is about African Americans and how police shoot innocent teens because police think they have "a gun." This was the first part. The other is how the main character "Starr" coped with Khalil's death.

Angie Thomas wrote this book because of fatal African American shootings. She came up with the title because a song that came up in the book by Tupac, "the hate u gave little infants....everybody"

(By the way, really recommend the movie, it is super emotional!)

Hope this helped! >.<
