<span>Death being discussed in this play is foreshadowing. The author is hinting that Romeo and Juliet will die or at least that someone will die. Foreshadowing is a good way to give your audience a hint about what is to come so they will feel suspense and will try to see what will happen next.</span>

In Act I, Scene 4, Benvolio suggests that Romeo accompany him to a mosque in order to forget about his lost love, Rosaline. They are held back by Mercutio's monologue on Queen Mab, and Benvolio worries that they will be too late. But Romeo remarks with a powerful insight: I fear, too early; for my mind misgives some consequence yet hanging in the stars shall bitterly begin his fearful date with this night's revels and expire the term of a despised life, closed in my breast, By some vile forfeit of untimely death.

These lines are pregnant with foreshadowing.

Romeo fears that he is too early, sensing that he should not meet anyone. His meeting with Juliet is exactly "too early" as had he waited, Juliet may have been engaged to Paris.

"Some consequence" does, indeed, begin this night; he meets Juliet, and as a consequence of seeing and talking with her, Romeo falls in love.

The mention of "in the stars" alludes to the Prologue in which the lovers, Romeo and Juliet, are referred to as "star-crossed lovers," meaning that they are fated. So, Romeo senses that fate will play a role in his life this night as it makes its "fearful date."

"expire the term/of this despised life" foreshadows Romeo's feelings of agony in Act V, Scene 2, as he feels that he is "life-weary" and purchases poison, so he can join Juliet in her tomb.

"untimely death" presages what occurs for both Romeo and Juliet.  

I got a 100 when I put this.

IRINA_888 [86]

Lincoln's <em>Gettysburg Address</em> describes the bravery of Union soldiers where Lincoln speaks about the sacrifices of the soldiers and what it meant for the war during that time. He applies certain diction for the speech in order to make it more memorable.

In <em>Letter to His Son,</em> Robert Lee uses subjective style of writing because the author addresses to his own son and therefore the language is more personal. Like, Lincoln's speech, the letter also concerns the importance of the soldier's resistance for the fate of the Union.

The correct answer is D.

Throughout All Summer in a Day." Bradbury compares the children to wheels and tumbling spokes
victus00 [196]

Answer:

C) He slows the action to show how the children feel as they realize Margot is  still in the closet.

Explanation:

In Ray Bradbury's short science fictional story "Throughout All Summer In A Day", the story revolves around the time when it has been raining for seven years on the planet Venus. the sun shines only for a couple hours and then rain started again, which is like a normal thing for the people on that planet.

At the start of the story, the author describes the children as<em> "animals escaped from their caves"</em> and <em>"wheels, all tumbling spokes"</em>. This is to show how energetic and restless they are, and their excitement in seeing the sun. But then, his narrative changed, describing them standing <em>"as if someone had driven them, like so  many stakes, into the floor."</em> This is after their realization that they have left Margot locked up the whole time they were enjoying the sunlight. This change in the way the author describes them shows the more slower scene of their realization, the feeling of remorse they have n their action.
