It helps create suspense because a vulture is not a very likely used animal to portray something very pleasant such as a humming bird. A vulture is more looked upon as a threat or very creepy .

Answer:

The use of the words “eye of vulture” creates suspension by creating a dilemma.  

Explanation:

In <em>"Tell-Tale Heart"</em> by Edgar Allan Poe the narrator, in the intent of proving he is not mad, justifies the murder of the old man because he says this one has an eye of vulture, which is waiting for the moment of his death. He says that the old man started to look at him with it. This situation creates a dilemma for the reader, who is considering if his decision was correct. However, in the end, the reader can see that the man is in fact mentally ill.

In the last few lines of To Kill a Mockingbird Scout says, "he was real nice..." and Atticus replies, "most people are, Scout, w
Furkat [3]
Yes, most people in the novel were actually nice. It's just they were taught or trained to behave one way or another. Plus, we've got to remember, the story To Kill a Mockingbird, is told from the perspective of a small child. It's still clouded with youthful innocence. Even if it sort of deteriorates towards the end. Most of the people in the book weren't actually bad people. In fact, they were good. It's just the society they grew up in. They were trained to be racist and hate those that were different. In this novel, Boo Radley was the prime example. He was the town shut in. A bogey man of sorts. And he turned out to be very nice. Even aunt Alexandra is nice in her own way. She was trying to help scout. Scout just didn't see it. Atticus was raised differently. He was given an education. His parents didn't just see the blacks as slaves. He was raised to look for the best in people. He was raised by Calpurnia. He saw the truth. He's been through a lot. He really has. But he also believes in equality and it's that standard and the standard of his morals and moral fiber that allow him to see the best in people. The last part is a bit difficult. I don't really know you. But me personally? It is hard. I try to see the best in people. I really do. And at times it's easy. But if it was dealing with someone like in the book like the Ewell's, no. It's wry difficult for me.

What is the mood of the poem "In My Shyness" by Jason Yarkie? Can you look it up on the internet, read it, and tell me the mood.
Lera25 [3.4K]
The mood of the poem "In My Shyness" by Jason Yarkie is reflective. The poem is about the personality of the narrator, and it describes the different aspects of their timidity and the advantages and disadvantages created by the 'shell' it provides. The narrator spends the entirety of the poem reflecting on their own shyness, and prompts the reader to ponder it as well.
