English

In this song, Dylan repeats the lines "Take the rag away from your face / Now ain't the time for your tears."

He uses these lines throughout the song in order to tell the listener that *this* isn't what they should be upset about. Don't get upset that this woman was murdered. Don't get upset that she was only a maid. Now isn't the time to get upset about these things.

By the end of the song, however, this line changes. It now becomes "Bury the rag deep in your face/ For now's the time for your tears." Dylan says that now is the time to cry because justice was not served. Zanzinger only got six months for the murder of an innocent woman.

Therefore, the repetition of these lines allows Dylan to indicate the true tragedy of this story.

What sight made brian scream in horror? (hatchet book)
Sliva [168]

Answer:

He saw the pilot's body and the fish eating it. He was eating the fish and it grossed him out.

Explanation:

In Gary Paulsen's novel "Hatchet," Brian is "stricken with a white-flash of horror" when the pilot has a heart attack because he feels that he can do nothing.  However, the pilot had taught him a little about flying and he had read books, so he predicts he can land safely by letting the plane run out of gas and finding a lake to land by.

How does the narrator of the fall of the house of usher describe ushers own work of art
OverLord2011 [107]

The narrator from the house of Usher from Edagr Allan Poe, describes Usher's own work of art as:

D. as intense, ghastly, and inappropriate

here we have a quotation from the short story where we read the description of the painting:

A small picture presented the interior of an immensely long and rectangular vault or tunnel, with low walls, smooth, white, and without interruption or device. Certain accessory points of the design served well to convey the idea that this excavation lay at an exceeding depth below the surface of the earth. No outlet was observed in any portion of its vast extent, and no torch, or other artificial source of light was discernible; yet a flood of intense rays rolled throughout, and bathed the whole in a ghastly and inappropriate splendour.
