Answer:

He reveals his location to highlight the injustice of the situation.

Explanation:

By putting the header information in bold, King highlights that he is Martin Luther King jr. and that he is being held in Birmingham City Jail for peacefully protesting for his rights. With that, he shows that he is imprisoned for an unjust and racist cause.

As you may already know, the first amendment to the constitution allows protests to take place peacefully without the protesters suffering any kind of punishment. So the fact that King evidenced that he was in prison served to show how illegal, racist, unjust and wrong this prison was.

Answer: Genre

Short story Setting and Context An unnamed Jewish village in rural Eastern Europe, likely Poland, set during the winter months and Point of View Third-person narrative

Tone and Mood From the beginning, the tone and mood are grim, as the family has no money for Hanukkah and therefore decided to sell their goat. The mood shifts and becomes dramatic and grave as the storm threatens Aaron and Zlateh. But as soon as Aaron discovers shelter in the haystack, a sense of hope imbues the story with a good-natured mood and a reflective, wise tone. Protagonist and Antagonist

Protagonists: Aaron and Zlateh. Antagonist: the blizzard. Major Conflict

The conflict exists in the struggle between Aaron and Zlateh against the fierce blizzard .Climax The story comes to a climax when the storm threatens Aaron and Zlateh, and they face the prospect of freezing to death. Just at that moment, they find a haystack for crucial shelter. Foreshadowing The coziness inside the haystack foreshadows the comfort of life back at home in the village, suggesting that Aaron and Zlateh will find their way home together in the end. Understatement N/A Allusion The Jewish holiday of Hanukkah is alluded to as the context for the story.Imagery Throughout the story, the natural world is described with vivid imagery. The narrator paints a picture of the dark and threatening storm, as well as the beauty and calm of the world after the storm. ParadoxThe very storm that threatens Aaron and Zlateh is also the impetus for Zlateh's salvation from the butcher. Parallelism The cozy atmosphere inside the haystack parallels the warmth of the family home back in the village.Metonymy and Synecdoche N/A Personification Several aspects of the natural world come to life through personification, especially the elements of the storm and the calm skies after the storm. For example, during the storm, the narrator describes the wind wailing "with one voice and then with many... [with] the sound of devilish laughter." Similarly, after the storm, the narrator notes how the "moon swam in the sky as in a sea.”Next Section Related Links Previous Section Yiddishism and Americanism in Isaac Bashevis Singer's Work Buy Study GuideCite this page Primis Player Placeholder GradeSaver will pay $15 for your literature essays GradeSaver will pay $25 for your college application essays GradeSaver will pay $50 for your graduate school essays – Law, Business, or Medical GradeSaver will pay $10 for your Community Note contributions GradeSaver will pay $500 for your Textbook Answer contributions STUDY GUIDE NAVIGATION About Zlateh the Goat.Zlateh the Goat Summary Character List Glossary Themes Quotes and Analysis Summary And Analysis Part I Part II

Poe describes the sensations of being buried alive. What imagery does Poe use to help you hear, see, smell, and feel?

Artyom0805 [142]

The imagery that Poe uses to help you hear, see, smell, and feel the sensations of being buried alive is like I could feel myself gasping for air as he described this scene to me. I could see myself in the middle of tons of dirt, smelling the dust. I could hear the dirt getting piled on top of me.

HELPPP What does this speech reveal about the reason for Hamlet's attitude toward Claudius and his mother? does he resolve to do

MrMuchimi

Answer:

Hamlet Act 1 Scene 2

This speech reveals that Hamlet abhorred his uncle and mother's marriage immediately after the death of his father. They could not even pay some respects to the dead by waiting some time before marrying. In his heart, he questioned the reason for the hurry.

Though he could not clearly form the reason for the hurried marriage, he suspected that Claudius and his mother married so quickly to close the done deal of active participation in the murder of his father.

Explanation:

The Tragedy of Hamlet is a play authored by William Shakespeare (1599 and 1601). As Shakespeare's longest play, it was written to highlight the painfulness and misery of human life in the face of doubt and uncertainty. Hamlet teaches us that acting shamefully only leads to more shame and regret.
