Read this stanza from "The Raven." Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer, "Sir," said I, "or Madam, truly y

our forgiveness I implore; But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping, And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door, That I scarce was sure I heard you"–here I opened wide the door– Darkness there and nothing more. How does Edgar Allan Poe create suspense in this stanza? The darkness in the hallway foreshadows the dark bird’s entrance in the room. The pacing is slowed down as the action of opening the door is delayed. The source of the noise is not yet revealed, as no one is standing at the door. The speaker believes that he has a visitor to his room, which turns out to be true.

Answer:

B). They are similar because both are about love for a woman others may find lacking.

Explanation:

The key similarity between the given lines from 'Sonnet 130' and 'Sonnet 131' of William Shakespeare is that 'they both talk about the love for a lady who other people may find incomplete or lacking.' In both the sonnets, <u>the speaker talks about love beyond physical appearance and beauty and breaks the stereotypes of associating the beloved with beauty('most precious jewel' and 'false compare')</u>. Shakespeare primarily aims to offer a different representation of love in order to break away from the traditional perspective of love and beloved. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.

I have an interview with UWC after 3 days .They are likely to ask me to tell about myself. So what should I start with? any tips
Nataly_w [17]

If they ask you about yourself, just start with what qualities you like about yourself.

TIP: Make eye contact and portray a confident appearance, like don't slouch and mumble, speak clear and sit straight, be on time, be prepared, and know what you're saying.

How do specific word choices in Hamlet’s first soliloquy impact the development of the Queen’s character?​
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Hamlet uses the word woman instead of Queen or Gertrude, his mother's name. This word choice demonstrates Hamlet's upset or disappointed tone; he is so upset with her that he cannot even say her name. The exclamation point shows that Hamlet is angry and agitated. Hamlet's use of frailty adds to an angry tone.
