In "Danse Macabre", Stephen King describes how society influences the horror genre, be it books, movies, TV, radio, print or comics. He explores the history of the genre and real life situations that took place because of it.

The excerpt presented allows readers to approach a “forbidden door", because it describes a situation that would only occur once that "door" or threshold is crossed, but without actually crossing it. He himself said: "Perhaps we go to the forbidden door or window willingly because we understand that a time comes when we must go whether we want to or not."

Letter to parents: Formal and well-planned

Dear Mom and Dad,

I understand that you may still be upset that I messed up. I am truly sorry and I promise it will never happen again. I am writing this letter to ask you for leniency in your rules. I understand that I must suffer the consequences of my actions, but please consider the fact that I have never been in trouble before. I assure you I have learned from my actions and these things will never happen again. I am asking for a latter curfew hour and more days to spend with my friends. I ask that you think hard about this and consider the facts.

Thank You,
(Your name)

Decide whether each underlined word is a direct object or an indirect object.

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

The underlined words are;

1. Ancestors- direct object

2. Homes- direct object

3. Children- Indirect object

4. Relatives- Indirect object

Explanation:

The direct object is the noun that receives the action performed by the verb. It answers the question of who or what. In the first question, if we ask the question, "Who do the Chinese honor?" The answer will be, "their ancestors". For the second question, if we also ask what families do to keep away bad luck, the answer will be to clean their homes. ]

An indirect object receives the action performed by the direct object. The action is performed to or for the indirect object. Who do people give red envelopes filled with money? Answer: to the children. Who do families wish fortune, health, and happiness? Answer: to their relatives.
