The person narrating has committed a murder and shoved the corpse under his floorboards. As some time passes the heart beat is a glimpse into his insanity, and how he is delusional over hearing non existent sounds. He believes he hears the heart of the person he murdered under the floorboards, which is a delusion, most likely made out of paranoia. When the police come to ask about the victim, the man almost fools them until he breaks down and confesses. He expressed annoyance at the victim earlier, saying that he could not get away from their eye, I believe. He tried to solve this by killing them, but his mind would not let him do so by making up false realities.

DIRECTIONS Write an original poem consisting of at least 2 stanzas or 10 lines or more. You must include: 1 Theme from this list

My chosen theme was love, and how love can allow one to survive.

The sounds of his laugh, like music to my ears,

Imagery→→→→→→→→→→→↓

Allows my soul to transcend beyond the heartbreak of my past.

His heart against my ear, telling me "it'll be okay,"

Drives me beyond the fog of sorrow within my own.

He laughs as he listens, and, of course, I do the same,

But my chuckles sometimes come from a place deep within,

Though his cheesy jokes tend to make me smile,

My hysterics and cackles arise from the thought

That no matter how my old cruel world used to hold me down,

How I limped and tripped, dodging the pain given to me without remorse,

I was lucky enough to stumble straight into his loving arms.

<em>This probably sucks but I'd appreciate a brainliest lol : )</em>

The position of a topic sentence often shifts, according to the author and writing style. Where is one place the topic sentence
JulsSmile [24]
The topic sentence is, of course, a sentence where you state the main topic of your paper. You want people to know your topic as soon as possible. Therefore, answers A and D are obviously places you would most commonly put your topic sentence​. However, you can also put it in your body of your paper. But the one place you never want to put your topic sentence is answer C, in your conclusion paragraph.

Write a story that clearly illustrates the saying do not count your chicken before they are hatched
fgiga [73]

Answer:I probably know that chickens come from eggs. A female chicken or hen lays eggs and then they hatch into chicks. Well, not all of them. Some eggs do not have a baby bird.

So, at our farm, a hen produces 15 eggs. If the farmer counts the eggs, she might expect to have 15 chicks once the eggs are hatched. But then five of those eggs do not hatch. Her expectations were not met, so she feels disappointed. She tells her friend how sad she feels. The friend may say to her, “Well, don’t count your chicken before they hatch.

Another way of saying this proverb is: “Don’t count your chickens until they are hatched.”

So, this proverb means you should not depend on something that has yet to happen. It is unwise to make plans based on something that hasn’t happened. Another meaning of this proverb is this: Do not assume to have everything you want until you actually have it in your hands.

Now, let’s talk about the folklore part of our explanation.

“Don’t count your chickens until they are hatched” is a very old saying. Language experts say it appears in different forms and in many different cultures. It is also used in Aesop's Fables, a collection of stories from between 1,300 and 1,400 years ago.

The fable we are talking about is known as “The Milkmaid and Her Pail.” A long time ago, a young woman carried a bucket of milk on her head. As she walked, the milkmaid dreamed of a better life. She wanted to be rich. So, she thought she could sell her milk and then use the money to buy chickens. With chickens she could sell eggs and earn more money!

With lots of money, the milkmaid could shake her head “no” to all the men in her village who wanted her hand in marriage. The young woman was so caught up in her thoughts that she actually shook her head “no.” This caused the pail of milk to fall from her head and crash to the ground. Along with it -- her dreams of becoming rich and independent.
