The first time I rode a roller coaster, I was nine years old. I remember feeling both terrified and excited. I had goosebumps, a

nd the hairs on my arms were standing straight up. My sister and I waited in line for an hour, which only made me more nervous.
Which sentence is the best example of a vivid sensory detail?

I'd say the third sentence.

'I had goosebumps, and the hairs on my arms were standing straight up'

That has the most imagery.

Answer:

I had goosebumps, and the hairs on my arms were standing straight up

Explanation:

This is an example of vivid sensory detail. Why is it <em>vivid</em>? Because we can feel what the speaker felt. The speaker's use of language can reconstruct an accurate picture of the situation. Why is it an example of <em>sensory  detail</em>? Because it appeals to the senses, in this case to the way in which the skin reacts when terror and excitement are felt. The hairs from the arms standing on its ends and  the presence of goosebumps appeal to the sight. We can<em> picture / see  </em>the scene.

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Based on part two of "Trifles", the symbolism behind the uneven stitching in Mrs. Wright's otherwise perfect quilt indicates that she:

4. was agitated or distracted by something during her quilting.

Explanation:

"Trifles" is a short play by Susan Glaspell. Filled with symbolism, the story concerns the death of Mr. Wright and the accusation of his wife. The Sheriff, a Count Attorney, and Mr. Hale go around the house looking for evidence that may reveal a motive - the reason why Mrs. Wright would kill her husband. While they do it, Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters (the Sheriff's wife) stay in the kitchen. Although constantly criticized by the men for paying attention to trifles - little things -, it is the women who find the evidence which reveals the motive. However, they choose to not tell the men.

<u>Among the several things the two women find, and that function as symbols in the story, there is a quilt. Mrs. Wright was good at making quilts, and this one is perfectly made with the exception of one part. This part's stitching is uneven, so different from the rest that Mrs. Hale quickly grasps its meaning. She wonders what Mrs. Wright was nervous about to have sewed like that. The quilt indicates Mrs. Wright was agitated, unfocused.</u>

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, but expecting different result"
Solnce55 [7]

Answer & Explanation:

It honestly means a lot to me because I can really relate. The quote is the truth because if you've already tried multiple times to do the same thing over and over again with no successes, there's no point. You are just forced to move on to something new. Also, the insanity part may not even be theoretical because I'm sure that many people have seriously gone insane from repeating the same words and actions all throughout their lives.

I hope this helps...have an awesome day!! :>
