Read the excerpt below and answer the question. I do not recollect of ever seeing my mother by the light of day. She was with me

in the night. She would lie down with me, and get me to sleep, but long before I waked she was gone. Very little communication ever took place between us. Death soon ended what little we could have while she lived, and with it her hardships and suffering. She died when I was about seven years old, on one of my master’s farms, near Lee’s Mill. I was not allowed to be present during her illness, at her death, or burial. She was gone long before I knew anything about it. Never having enjoyed, to any considerable extent, her soothing presence, her tender and watchful care, I received the tidings of her death with much the same emotions I should have probably felt at the death of a stranger. Which best describes the tone of this excerpt?
NOT B
A) angry and impassioned
B)dignified and logical
C)eloquent and proper
D)sorrowful and despondent

Answer: The right answer is the D) sorrowful and despondent.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that, on the one hand, the tone using by the narrator is sorrowful, since he is describing an arguably sad escenario—a child who only sees his mom at night and who loses her when he is only about seven years old, and a mom whose life was saturated with hardships and suffering and who could not provide her child with the attention that he needed. On the other hand, the tone is also despondent or dispirited, since the child recalls that when informed of the death of his mother he felt the same emotions he would have probably felt at the death of a stranger. The excerpt from the life of Frederick Douglass exudes restrained sorrow and dejection.

What sorts of things/ideas are valued in Henry's world? How are his values different from those of his society
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Henry's world values things like money and communication between people. This is different from what Henry values, because he likes silence, literature and the company itself, giving no importance to interpersonal relationships.

Explanation:

This question is about "Time Enough at Last" where we know the story of Henry, a man who works in a bank and does not find time or silence to read. That's because Henry loves literature, but all the time people hinder him, even in his own home, where his wife tries at all times to talk to him more.

One day a bomb is dropped on Henry's town and kills everyone but him. When he sees that the world has the silence and tranquility that he values so much, he is happy, because he will have all the books in the world to read, without anyone interrupting him. Meanwhile, Henry falls and breaks his glasses, which he cannot see without. There is no one who can prescribe other glasses for Henry, making him unable to read and living in eternal solitude.

What point of view is used in "Was It a Dream?" How does this point of view affect your experience as a reader? In one to two pa
Flura [38]

Answer:

Answer:

"Was It a Dream" was written in the first person point of view. In this point of view, the reader will feel as though he or she is the one inside the story. Because of the use of the terms "I" and "my" in the first person point of view, readers can imagine themselves as the narrator or the first person. They will be able to relate well with the theme of the story because it would make them an integral part of the story.
