The most likely reason Thomas Paine published his American Crisis pamphlets under the name “Common Sense” is because he wanted to show the colonists why it was so clear that the colonies should separate from Britain--making a clear case that even the "common" relatively uneducated people could understand.

The most likely reason Thomas Paine published his American Crisis pamphlets under the name “Common Sense” was because he wanted to highlight how obvious and logical independence seemed to him. Paine believed that the only logical way for the colonies to act was to seek independence from Great Britain.

Paine also wanted to show, through this name, that the case he was making was not a complex one. He was not talking to scholars in educated and complicated terms. Instead, he was making a clear and straightforward claim that anyone with some common sense would be able to understand.

LITERARY ANALYSIS: Heart of Darkness is narrated from the perspective of a European exploring Africa. The passage conveys his pe

GuDViN [60]

The author characterizes the narrator as a man who was strongly shaken by everything he witnessed in Africa.

This can be seen because:

The book's narrator, Marlow, is very excited to participate in the journey to colonize Africa.
This excitement is created by a strong influence of the setting where he finds himself.
This scenario is a prosperous Europe, due to strong colonization.
However, the narrator's excitement ends when he arrives in Africa.
The setting in Africa is very different from the setting in Europe.
In Africa, the narrator interacts with a scenario of poverty, exploitation, violence, devaluation, and decadence, all created by European colonizers.
The narrator is very shaken by this scenario and shows himself to be a physically and mentally ill man. He becomes weak, distraught, and unable to act normally.

This change in narrator characterization is very significant for "Heart of Darkness." This is because the author wanted to present an anti-colonial story, as he wanted to show that all people involved in colonialism and imperialism were negatively affected.

Like burnt-out torches by sick man's bed Which technique is being used

Liono4ka [1.6K]

After doing some online searching, I've found that this question refers to figurative language. It is not an incomplete question, it was just missing the context for people to be able to understand it. Now that I know what it is about, I can safely answer:

Answer:

Simile.

Explanation:

In the phrase "Like burnt-out torches by a sick man's bed" we have something being compared to something else. Even though we don't know what it is, we know it is compared to burnt-out torches. The comparison was made with the help of a support word, "like". Its purpose it to attribute one or more qualities of a burnt-out torch to something else by saying they are similar. Comparisons that use support words are called simile. They are a very common figure of speech along with metaphors, with the difference that metaphors also make comparisons, but without using support words.
