5 0

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.

From what is indicated in Shelly's poem, do you think Ozymandias was a great leader? What makes a great leader?
hoa [83]

Answer:

As indicated in the poem, one can perceive that Ozymandias was a tyrannical ruler. He ruled out of fear and with a sense of control.

A great leader is the one who leads keeping in mind his/her people and for their good.

Explanation:

"Ozymandias" is a poem written by P. B. Shelley. The poem is about King Ozymandias, who ruled Egypt sometime between 1279-1213 B.C.E.

From the poem by Shelley, one can perceive that Ozymandias was a tyrannical ruler. As written on the pedestal of the statue, <em>"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; / Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!",</em> the King appears to be boastful instead of a great ruler. He might have ruled with great achievements but now he standstill in a desert with nothing around him. A great leader is the one who is concerned for his people. One who thinks of their benefit.
