Read an essay about Edgar Allan Poe's story "The Black Cat" and look for weaknesses in the writing. Describe how the writer shou
sp2606 [1]

Explanation:

Phrases to be corrected:

-"The story revolves around the psychology of guilt and a murderer who commits a crime and is able to hide it."

<em>The most concrete idea would be:</em>

<em>The story revolves around the psychology of a murderer who commits a crime and is able to hide it.</em>

-"This article will analyze the issue of violence as it is contained in history".

<em>It could be corrected as the following:</em>

<em>"This article will analyze what influenced the narrator to become a violent man and what the consequences were." </em>

<em>A correct punctuation must be made in the following paragraph:</em>

<u><em>"These animals included dogs, apes, and even donkeys.</em></u><u><em> </em></u>The theme of violence is also portrayed when the narrator, realizing his mistake, turns on himself and begins to hurt himself with the knife that he always carried with him."

The first stanza is a continuity of the idea from the previous paragraph, therefore it must be in the previous paragraph with a period followed.

<em>In the following paragraph we can make some editorial corrections as well as punctuation:</em>

"The other theme of the story is that of loyalty. Before the narrator began drinking, he was loyal to his wife and pet cat, Pluto. The theme of loyalty also shows up when the narrator gouges his cat's eye out. Even though his wife saw the kind of cruelty he had subjected the cat to, he was still loyal to him."

We can see in the previous paragraph that the subject of loyalty begins to be discussed, therefore it is not necessary for the writer of the essay to say again <em>"the subject of loyalty is also shown ..."</em> it could be said <em>"We can quote a example when the narrator gouges out his cat's eye ".</em>

The last paragraph, as it is a continuity of the previous paragraph where the writer continues talking about loyalty, must continue that idea in the previous paragraph with a period followed.

Therefore, there should be a single paragraph where it is not necessary to repeat the word "the issue of loyalty" but only leave the word "loyalty" because it is already known that that issue has been discussed. <em>Therefore, they could be as follows:</em>

"The other theme of the story is that of loyalty. Before the narrator began drinking, he was loyal to his wife and pet cat, Pluto. An example we can cite is when the narrator gouges out his cat's eye. Even though his wife saw the kind of cruelty he had subjected the cat to, he was still loyal to him, and loyalty is represented by the cat himself. After the narrator gouged out the cat's eye, the cat was still playing with the narrator after the pierced eye sock had healed. Under normal circumstances, the cat would have fled the house and moved to another house away from the brutality."

Why does Grandmother Spider believe<br> that the Sun should be high up in the sky?
Ludmilka [50]

Explanation:

retelling of a story from Cherokee tradition.

When the earth was first made, it was very dark, and the animals were afraid. One day Bear said, “I have seen light on the other side of the world, but the people will not share. Perhaps we could steal some for ourselves.”

The others thought this was a splendid idea, and started to discuss who should go first.

“I’ll go,” said fox.

Fox went, and stole a piece of light in his mouth, but it was so hot it burned his mouth and he dropped it, and the fox still has a black mouth to this day.

Possum tried next. He wrapped the light in his tail, and tried to drag it back, but it was too hot, and he dropped it. That is why no possum has fur on its tail.

Crow said, “Let me try!” And he went off to steal the light, but when he got close, it singed all of his feathers, and he turned black. He was so afraid, he ran away.

Finally Grandmother Spider said, “I will go.” When she reached the light, she was surprised by how hot it was. She thought of a plan, and began to spin and spin with her silky web. Soon she had enough for a bag. She approached the light, and quick as a flash, tucked the light into her bag.

When she got back, the animals were triumphant! “Hooray for Grandmother Spider!” They all shouted.

Grandmother Spider was happy to give them the light. “We should hang the light in the sky, so all can be warmed by it,” she said. The other animals thought that too was a good idea, but how to get it in the sky?

“I will go,” said Vulture. He took the bag of light, and put it on his head. It was hot, but he could stand it. He flew higher and higher, and the bag got hotter and hotter. He climbed higher, and his feathers turned black. Still higher, and the feathers on his head burned off! Still higher, and his head turned red. At the last possible second, he threw the light into the sky as hard as he could, and the Sun hung bright and beautiful, warming all the land.
