Answer:

"The petrified man" by Eudora Welty uses grotesque imagery to establish the most significant themes through the characters of the story, there are two main characters and the whole story goes around the conversation between them, who in a very dark, twisted and unpleasant way criticize and diminish the life of others, pretending to be worrying about them and their whereabouts, all the people that are being cynically analyzed in this piece of work are the clients of Leota, a beautician, her and her customer, Mrs. Fletcher are representations of the most despicable "qualities" of the human beings, the sense of grotesque in the story is created in the atmosphere by the way these two characters interact and how they personalities seem to be built only over darker shades of selfishness, irony, and sarcasm. These characters feel that they are morally superior somehow, which gives them the right to scrutinize the clients' lives

Explanation:

"The petrified man" has not been considered as a beautiful piece of written work for many experts because of it's obscure and despicable nature. For other, the use of this technique represents something worthy of analysis and it in fact became a representative story of the darkness inside of the human soul.

harina [27]

Answer:

The story is narrated by “we,” the townspeople in general, who also play a role in Miss Emily's tragedy. The townspeople respect Miss Emily as a kind of living monument to their glorified but lost pre-Civil War Southern past, but are therefore also highly judgmental and gossipy about her, sometimes hypocritically.

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

C.  Anna tried to hold back the dog, but she just was not strong enough for the bulk, power, and movement of the dog.

Explanation:

A revision is when a given sentence or any given passage is rewritten in a better form. This can involve changes in the words, or voice or tense, or even the structure of the whole sentence.

In the given sentence, the proper noun is used after the pronoun. Instead of using the pronoun to start the sentence, if we use the proper noun "Anna" to start the sentence, then the sentence is made easier to understand and also who is being talked about. Also, changing the structure of the sentence by rearranging certain words will make the sentence better in form and construction.

Thus, the revised sentence will be option C.
