Read the excerpt from "The Tell-Tale Heart.” TRUE!—nervous—very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say

that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses—not destroyed—not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily—how calmly I can tell you the whole story. Which statement best explains how the reader can determine that the narrator of this passage is unreliable?
A The narrator is very calm as he begins to relate all of the events of the story.
B The narrator worries that his dreadful nervousness has caused him to go mad.
C The narrator says he is not mad, but he claims he can hear all the sounds on heaven and earth.
D The narrator has sharpened senses that allow him to hear sounds that others cannot.

The correct answer is C. The narrator says he is not mad, but he claims he can hear all the sounds on heaven and earth.

Explanation:

An unreliable narrator is a type of narrator (usually a first-person narrator) who cannot be trusted by the reader, this means the narrator's words are not completely accurate or credible usually because the narrator is mentally ill, too naive, evil, forgetful or just dishonest. This features can be shown immediately in the story of literature work with an unreliable narrator or might be developed during the story. In any of the cases, the way the events are told by an unreliable narrator lack credibility.

Considering this, in the excerpt from "The Tell-Heart" by the American writer Edgar Allan Poe the reader can determine the narrator is unreliable as this narrator shows some symptoms of madness that are mainly expressed by the narrator claiming he is not mad, but need providing an illogical explanation as he mentions he had a disease but this disease makes him able to hear all the things in heaven, earth and hell " I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell", which seems absolutely insane as the reader knows this is not possible and the narrator is contradicting himself by saying he is not insane and then providing an irrational and absurd explanation. Thus, the statement that best explains how the reader can determine that the narrator of this passage is unreliable is that the narrators say he is not mad, but he claims he can hear all the sounds on heaven and earth which cast doubts on the narrator mental health.

In at least 150 words, discuss the story of Orestes and Agamemnon. Explain the relevance of their story to that of Telemachus an
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

<h2>See below</h2>

Explanation:

Agamemnon was the leader the Greek Army during the Trojan war. When he returned home, he was murdered by his wife, Clytemnestra along with her lover. Agamemnon's son, Orestes' cannot stop the killing, but vows revenge, even though it means that he will have to kill his own mother. He eventually is able to avenge his father's killing by killing the murderers. Even though he has killed his mother, this action is considered just, so Orestes' doesn't feel any guilt over the situation. There are many similarities between that father/son duo and the Telemachus/Odysseus duo. Odysseus also fought in Greek Army against the Trojans. He has yet to return and it is questionable if he is even still alive. The suitors want to cash in on the opportunity that Odysseus' absence presents. They take over the palace and commit acts that dishonor Odysseus and his wife. Telemachus is asked to avenge the dishonoring of his father by killing the suitors. Athena assists him by telling him this story to encourage him.
