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.

Answer:

Nanny Crawford is specking these words to her granddaughter Janie mae Crawford.

The daughter referred to in the speech is Leafy Crawford, Janie's mother and Nanny's daughter.

Explanation:

The excerpt is from Zora Neale Hurston's novel "Their Eyes Were Watching God". This book revolves round the theme of the discriminatory lives of the blacks among the white folks.

The passage is from the second chapter of the book where Janie's grandmother had told her about her choice of husband for her granddaughter. She told her of her slavery birth, her upbringing n the plantations and how it was tough for a girl to be a slave. And that is why she had wanted her to marry Logan Killicks who may be a much older guy but have the means to provide security and social standing for Janie.

Nanny or Grandma Crawford is talking to Janie about the prospect of marrying Killicks.

"Mah daughter" in the speech refers to Nanny's daughter Leafy Crawford, Janie's mother.

Past present and future essay
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Now that we have explored my past, present, and future experiences with diversity, it is time to see how they are present within and effect each other. Firstly, let’s look into how my future is present in my past. The most obvious portion of my future that is in my past is my willingness and efforts to love and include everyone and to spread this world view. It took a fellow classmate of mine to demonstrate to my third grade self that we are all human beings and we all deserve to be treated as such. In my future, I aspire to demonstrate this world view to my students and inspire them to treat each other accordingly. This aspiration directly reflects my world view struggles I went through in third grade, for I want to help my students come to…show more content…

In my present life, I am struggling with my conflicting experiences of serving and running club basketball. This is similar to my struggle with diversity in my past. In both situation we find the portion of my being that wishes to fit in at war with my true thoughts and beliefs. I know that in the end my true self will win, I just hope it doesn’t undergo any changes in the meantime. My present confliction between my views and the views of those around me exists in my past, as well.
