Answer:

See below

Explanation:

In this passage Edgar Allan Poe utilizes several basic literary devices to build suspense and create a greater plot in this story.

Setting:

The story begins with the narrator , the day before he has been condemned to die.His home before the fire is nondescript, but it is said to have a beautiful garden. The narrator routinely hangs out taverns; adding to the feeling of something lingering and violence that he brings home. His home also has a dark, dank cellar; which foreshadows elements of the story to come.

Foreshadowing:

The strongest example of foreshadowing comes in the form of the black cat and white cat, which is also missing and eye like Pluto, reminding the narrator of the violent act, but the white mark on his chest changes shape to look like a gallows. This foreshadow the judgement that will ultimately find the narrator in this story.

Pacing:

The narrator is almost reluctant to tell his tale, because he doesn't believe anyone will believe him. He begins with his childhood, where he describes how he was somewhat different than other children. Then the story moves into the early years of his marriage. The pacing is slow and deliberate, ultimately leading to the reveal of how he wound up murdering his wife and being sentenced to death.

According to the textbook, Japanese people attribute frequent smiling to ________.

kotykmax [81]

Answer - Low Intelligence

Japanese people attribute frequent smiling to low intelligence. This is evidence of the fact that the acceptable norms of how emotions are expressed greatly differ across cultures. Somewhat similar to the Japanese, German shoppers are typically turned off by friendly greeters and helpful staff.

The greasers go outside to assist him and Dally pulls out his unloaded gun which causes the police to shoot him. Dally dies and Ponyboy thinks that he had done this on purpose.

During the hearing, Ponyboy doesn’t say much. The judge asks a few questions about his life and then allows him to return and stay with his brothers. However, Ponyboy is still depressed as his grades are dropping and he easily loses his focus and coordination. Mr. Syme, his English teacher, says the he can still improve if he can write an good theme.

That same night, Sodapop runs outside crying as he’s upset that Sandy returned his letter, unopened. He reveals that their arguments are causing this to happen.

They all go back home and Ponyboy takes a close looks at Gone with the Wind. He finds a note from Johnny which send him the same message: ‘Stay Gold’. Ponyboy finally knows what he wants to write as his theme. He starts with the novel The Outsiders: “When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home.”
