Explore the ways in which Bronte creates sympathy for the girls at Lowood school.
givi [52]

Answer:

Bronte creates sympathy for the girls at Lowood school by employing the literary device of personification and starkly describing the girls' less than favorable living conditions in the school.

Explanation:

  • Bronte described Jane's first morning at Lowood school during a winter, the water in the pitchers the girls are meant to use for their morning ablutions are frozen and yet they have to use the water like that.
  • During breakfast they were served burnt porridge they could not eat and consequently had to suffer through the morning to lunch time without eating anything, an event that Bronte suggested happened more than once.
  • The girls are denied simple and harmless luxuries like keeping their natural curls and wearing clean stockings, a fact that ironically contrasts with the way the proprietor's family present themselves in artificial finery.
  • When disease struck the inhabitants of Lowood Bronte described the dismal atmosphere using personification: "while disease had thus became an inhabitant of Lowood, and death its frequent visitor; while there was gloom within its walls; while its rooms and passages steamed with hospital smells." All the makes the reader feel sympathetic towards the girls, as they are living in conditions that are not fit to be lived in.

lyudmila [28]

Hello. You forgot to add the information that must be evaluated so that this question can be answered. Also, you forgot to say that this question is about the article "See if I care". The information to be evaluated is:

"[Grady Maxwell] has grown in my mind over the yars, and so too has his importabce to my story

Answer:

According to the information above, the narrator spent her years maintaining a certain grief from Grady Maxwell, which indicates that the narrator did not release her bitterness at losing her job

Explanation:

As we read the text, we can see that the narrator blames Grady Maxwell for the loss of her job and for all the defeat she went through as a result. Even over the years, the narrator reveals that she never stopped thinking that Grady Maxwell is her greatest enemy and the main responsible for her defeat. She claims that she doesn't hate him, but the narration allows us to realize that she maintains a strong hurt and a certain anger for everything she believes he has caused.

This world was being watched keenly and closely only intelligences greater than Mans'a and yet as mortal as his own
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

pa brainliest answer po follow me follow back and pa heart po thankssssss

Explanation:

no one would have believed in

he last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man’s and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutnised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter. It is possible that the infusoria under the microscope do the same. No one gave a thought to the older worlds of space as sources of human danger, or thought of them only to dismiss the idea of life upon them as impossible or improbable.
