Using vivid imagery, describe a Gothic setting that could be symbolic. Your description should be four to six sentences.

1 answer:

3 0

You'd say something like: 
 "The gargoyle perched in its stony nest, overlooking the cloud of filth that sheltered the people from the radiant morning sky. The palace was the only building warmed by the sun." 

 I'm describing a gargoyle sitting on top of a building overlooking a cloud of smog that doesn't allow the sun to penetrate through. But I am also referring to a neglectful King sitting on his thrown looking out at his gloomy kingdom , while he enjoys immunity to the suffrage.

Hope I helped. :)

This lesson mentioned that an effective introduction includes three main parts. One of them is called _______

Olenka [21]

Answer:

C). The reason the issue is important.

Explanation:

Introduction is one of the most significant elements of an essay or research paper as it functions to grab the audience's attention by introducing the key subject matter(topic) and its scope to them and outlining the key ideas that are going to be discussed.

It primarily consists of three elements: the opening statement(or the 'attention grabber') that reveals the topic in an appealing manner before the readers that captures their attention which is followed by supporting details(lead-in sentence) that justifies that why the topic(issue or concern that is being discussed) is significant and lastly, the thesis statement which declares the scope or purpose of the essay or work and key aspects that the author is going to focus upon.

As per the question, after grabbing the attention from the opening statement, the author needs to establish the credibility of his topic and build audience's trust. Therefore, he brings in 'the reason why the issue is significant' as it functions to support the author's decision to select that specific topic and aspect. Hence, option C is the correct answer.

Neporo4naja [7]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Who said that:

Saint Francis, what a change is here! Is Rosaline, whom thou didst love so dear, So soon forsaken? young men's love then lies Not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes. Jesu Maria, what a deal of brine Hath wash'd thy sallow cheeks for Rosaline! How much salt water thrown away in waste, To season love, that of it doth not taste! The sun not yet thy sighs from heaven clears, Thy old groans ring yet in my ancient ears; Lo, here upon thy cheek the stain doth sit Of an old tear that is not wash'd off yet

Answer:

Friar Laurence

Explanation:

The excerpt shown in the question above is one of the words of Friar Laurence, a character from "Romeo and Juliet" who was very friendly and adviser to Romeo. Friar is questioning Romeo about the triviality of his passions, because the day before Romeo was suffering from love for Rosaline, but the next day he is in love with Juliet and he no longer remembered who Rosaline was.

"Romeo and Juliet" is a play written by Shakespeare and tells the story of forbidden love of two young people who have enemy families.

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The answer is "to demonstrate that narrator's difficulty adapting to American society".

Explanation:

Lensey Namioka's "The All-American Slurp" is a story. A migrant family's uncomfortable experiences in a foreign state are recounted. As just a consequence, "Lakeview" was an expensive chain restaurant. Aside from Chinese restaurants, it was rare for all the customers to make at such establishments in America. Again for the narrator's struggles to adjust to American society, this was necessary to include the details. However, they found it hard to adapt.
