There was an iciness, a sinking, a sickening of the heart—an unredeemed dreariness of thought which no goading of the imaginatio

n could torture into aught of the sublime. What was it—I paused to think—what was it that so unnerved me in the contemplation of the House of Usher? In this excerpt from “The Fall of the House of Usher” by Edgar Allan Poe, what sight has inspired this dire feeling?

This dire feeling was inspired by the sight of the House of Usher itself. The excerpt is from the very first paragraph of the story, at which moment we have no idea who the Ushers are, what's wrong with their house (or them), or even who the narrator is. We just get to find out how it made him feel. It infused him with gloom, bleakness, and depression so great that he couldn't comprehend it or understand its cause. This feeling has two functions: it foreshadows that something bad is about to happen at this house, and it builds suspense by signaling to the reader that the house itself is haunted or cursed in some other way - almost as if it had a soul and will of its own.

What is an example of sacrifice in act 5 of merchant of venice by shakespeare
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

As always, Shakespeare makes use of a good deal of blank verse, which is to say unrhymed iambic pentameter. The verses in the caskets and the comments of Morocco and Aragon thereon are in trochaic tetrameter, without the weak beat of the last trochee, as Dum-da Dum-da Dum-da Dum. The rhythm of "Tell me where is fancy bred" is similar: it may be scanned as iambic tetrameter as well as trochaic.

What element of an argument is displayed in the section with the bulleted list? What rhetorical appeal is used? Cite text eviden
strojnjashka [21]

Hello. You did not say what text this question refers to, which makes it impossible for your question to be answered efficiently and specifically. However, to try to help you, I will show you what an argument is and how are the rhetorical appeals that can be used in one. This can guide you in finding the correct answer.

An argument is a position on a theme, where the author demonstrates what he thinks about something or how he understands how such things happen. In addition to presenting a position, the argument presents evidence that provides veracity to the position, showing how it is real and relevant.

To enhance the argument and make it more powerful, rhetorical appeals can be used. These appeals are ethos (which refers to ethics), logos (which refers to logic) and pathos (which refers to emotions and feelings), which are used in sentences to strengthen an important point of the argument and to converge the audience.

How does Orwell include social commentary in Animal Farm? Check all that apply
Alla [95]

Answer:

I don't know what you have to pick from but here is this:

Explanation:

Like any good satire or allegory, and almost all of George Orwell's work, Animal Farm is full of social commentary. Though he dismissed the book as a "fairy story," Orwell wanted to show how even those popular movements that started with good intentions could become corrupted once they gained power.
