Mr. Edwards is a fictional character that appeared in the Little House series of autobiographical children's novels written by Laura Ingalls Wilder. His character was later adapted for the NBC television show, Little House on the Prairie and given the name "Isaiah Edwards."

As stated by Wilder in her books, Mr. Edwards was "the wildcat from Tennessee" whom the Ingalls met during their stay near Independence, Kansas in the Little House on the Prairie novel. They met for a short while also in By the Shores of Silver Lake, when Mr. Edwards helps Pa file his claim during a sudden settlement rush, and in The Long Winter, when he generously gives the now-blind Mary a $20.00 dollar bill.

“Thinking back later he could never decide whether the hands or Beatty’s reaction to the hands gave him the final push toward murder. The last rolling thunder of the avalanche stoned down about his ears, not touching him.

Beatty grinned his most charming grin. “Well, that’s one way to get an audience. Hold a gun on a man and force him to listen to your speech...Go ahead now, you second-hand litterateur, pull the trigger.’ He took one step toward Montag” (Bradbury).

Answer:

C). Exemplification.

Explanation:

'Exemplification' is demonstrated as the process of presenting an idea through examples or illustrations in order to make it more clear, understandable, and persuasive.

The given excerpt from Roosevelt's 1899 speech 'Strenuous life' uses the 'exemplification' method to represent his ideas more impactfully and convincingly to the audience. The use of various examples like 'worth your salt', 'wisely used leisure', etc. helps in clarifying his central idea behind this speech i.e. to show the benefits of a strenuous life not only on an individual but on the entire nation as it is the one 'we most need in this country, out of which reflects most honor upon the nation'. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

Choose one poetic element that Dickinson uses in either "This is my letter to the world", or "Because I would not stop for Death

serg [7]

In her poem "This is my letter to the world," Emily Dickinson speaks to the world. She says that although she has addressed the world (maybe the Earth, or humanity), the world has never replied. However, she does not feel disheartened. She continues to communicate and only asks the world to be kind to her. The theme of the poem is one of loneliness, and at the same time, of belonging to home. It highlights Dickinson's sense of belonging to the world of her "sweet countrymen," but also how inconsequential this world finds her presence.

One of the poetic elements in the poem is the personification of Nature. Dickinson writes:

"The simple news that Nature told,

With tender majesty."

Nature cannot "tell" anything, but she is giving it human qualities in her poem. She says that nature told her news majestically. By saying that, she contrasts the world, never talking to her, and nature, communicating beautifully. Nature has treated her with kindness and generosity by addressing her, as opposed to the world, which has mostly ignored her. In this way, she establishes her relationship with nature as an ally and a driving force for her actions. Nature has also been her link to the world. By giving nature these human qualities, she establishes the role that nature has played in her belonging to the world, but also in her sense of isolation. In this way, it relates to the theme of belonging to a "home."
