In the story "The Pit and the Pendulum," Edgar Allan Poe makes use of the narrator's fear while he is being tortured so that readers can identify with him and feel his emotions of anxiety and panic. During the horrific plot, the narrator provides a detailed account of the apprehension he feels going through severe mental and physical pain. For example: he says, "It was not that I feared to look upon things horrible, but that I grew aghast lest there should be nothing to see. At length, with a wild desperation at heart, I quickly unclosed my eyes. My worst thoughts, then, were confirmed. The blackness of eternal night encompassed me."
A similar device can be found in another short story from Poe, "The Cask of Amontillado," in which the narrator describes exhaustively how he kills another man by immurement: "There came forth in reply only a jingling of the bells. My heart grew sick–on account of the dampness of the catacombs."
The predicate nominative in this sentence is state, because it is showing what Alaska became.
Answer:
Experience and Perception of teacher in his mind.
Explanation:
When university students in the United States walk into a classroom on the first day, they observe that there is a person standing in the front of the classroom with a folder open on a podium and a stack of papers on the desk. Based on their experience, they decide that this must be the instructor. One student approaches the person and asks, "Are you the instructor?"
The student's question is an example of his Experience and Perception.
