A. The mystery around the monkey's paw is introduced
Hints of this lie in the adjectives such as "curiously" and the mention of "magic" which tells the reader that there might be something more to monkey's paw, and that maybe we should be curious.
Answer:
Othello fits the description of a tragic hero.
Explanation:
A hero is a character who has the ability to accomplish great things. A tragic hero is no different, since he has this ability. However, the great deeds of a tragic hero result in suffering and the disgrace of him and those around him.
Othello is a perfect example of a tragic hero, since his actions lead to himself and the people he loves death. Othello causes misfortune by acting out of jealousy, arrogance, lack of critical sense, remorse and impulsiveness. This all causes very bad effects through great actions.
Assuming that you're referring to 'the rules of the game',
The reason why waverly's drawn to the elaborate secrets of chess is because she did not get a good overnight , and represent the relationship between her and her mother
An "iamb" is a word or set of words that goes 'da-DAH', like "my KNEE",
or "your FACE", or "his DOG", or "come HERE".
Many poems have the same rhythm (beat) in each line, and there are different
rhythms they can have. I can show you that, if I take a poem you know, and
recite it first with the correct beat, and then with the wrong beat.
Here's the correct beat:
MAH-ree HAD a LIT-tle LAMB its FLEECE was WHITE as SNOW.
For the wrong beat, let's use 'iambs' like I explained up above:
ma-REE had A lit-TLE lamb ITS fleece WAS white AS snow.
If a poem is in the rhythm of "iambic tetrameter", then each line is
made out iambs, and there are 4 of them ("tetra") in each line.
Now I have to try and find an example for you. Thank you very much.
I'll make one up. Remember, an iamb goes 'da-DAH":
my DOG came IN-to SCHOOL one DAY
and CHASED the HAM-sters ALL a-ROUND.
the PRIN-ci-PLE came IN-to CLASS
and TOOK my DOG down TO the POUND.
(The dog 'pound' is the shelter for stray dogs.)
