"The Landlady" by Roald Dahl is a story that has a weird unusual hobby of taxidermy. She stuffs dead corpses. This hobby of her and how she deals with death is absolutely scary, at the same time interesting for readers to know her intentions behind it.

Explanation:

Billy, another main character of this story, is 17 and is annoyed by the acts of the Landlady. He thinks her to be odd and manner less as she keeps touching his hands and shoulders while talking to him. Her compliments on his appearance make Billy feel very uncomfortable, every time they have a conversation.

When the story progresses and readers get to know that the Landlady stuffed her dead pets in a briefcase and does the same with human bodies too, readers along with Billy start wondering about what kind of a sinister this woman is. She finally murders both other boys and stuff them like she did with the pets, at the end of the story.

Can someone help me with this?
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

1) To me the way the speaker talks it comes across that they are a loving person with a large heart.

2) The speakers point of view seems to be that through loving with all her heart is the only way to grow closer with her god.

3) By overstating her feeling she accentuates how important it truly is to her.

4) The speaker identifies that nothing is more important than love, and loving ones god, not riches, not whole mines of gold can even compare.

5) Love....its just that

6) The speakers purpose in writing this poem is to share her values with others, to allow others to see the world through her eyes, which she sees as a better world.

Explanation:

close reading is a big deal when it comes to reading, a lot of the questions they ask are based completely on what's hidden within the text.

another really important part is to remember in some cases there is no right or wrong answer, and it just comes down to how you interpret it.

Which sentence in the passage uses an intensive pronoun?
Ugo [173]

An intensive or reflexive pronoun is the two identical pronouns but differs in their function. Intensive pronouns are used to lay emphasis on the antecedent or the subject in the sentence. Intensive pronouns end with "selves" or "self". For example yourself, myself, themselves and so on.

Another way to identify the intensive pronoun in the sentence is by removing it from the sentence. Hence, if the sentence makes sense it is an intensive pronoun. On the other hand, if it doesn't make sense it is a reflexive pronoun.

Therefore, in the above passage sentence which uses intensive pronoun is,

"Ronnie herself walked up to him and ordered two lattes."

If the intensive pronoun 'herself' is removed, it still makes sense as:

Ronnie walked up to him and ordered two lattes.
