People use euphemisms a lot when they talk about difficult subjects, such as death and disease. Why do you think they do that?

Alexxandr [17]4 years ago

Answer:

This device is used mostly when writing about matters such as sex, violence, death, crimes, and other things that we would consider to be "embarrassing". The purpose of euphemisms is to substitute unpleasant and severe words with more genteel ones, to try our best to mask the harshness.

Which one of these excerpts from Mark Twain's Life on the Mississippi best shows that the story is told in first person?
trasher [3.6K]

The correct answer is B) I first wanted to be a cabin boy, so that I could come out with a white apron on and a shake a tablecloth over the side, where all my comrades could see me.

The excerpt from Mark Twain's "Life on the Mississippi" that best shows that the story is told in first person is "I first wanted to be a cabin boy, so that I could come out with a white apron on and a shake a tablecloth over the side, where all my comrades could see me."

Mark Twain wrote his memoirs when he lived in the Mississippi working as a steamboat pilot, before enrolling in the Confederate Army, and his travelings across the river from New Orleans to St. Louis, Missouri. The book was called "Life on the Mississippi," and was written in 1883. The book is about his memoirs, that is why it's written in first person.

The other options of the question were A) Ten minutes later the steamer is underway again, with no flag in the jack-staff and no black smoke issuing from the chimneys. C) then such as scramble as there is to get aboard and to get ashore and to take in freight and to discharge freight. D) Assemble there, the people fasten their eyes upon the coming boat as upon a wonder they are seeing for the first time.

Sumerize Midas greek mythology
storchak [24]

Answer:

King Midas was married to Pasiphae. Pasiphae was cursed to fall in love with the prize bull, and the inventor, Daedalus, built her a mechanical cow so she could meet with the bull. Soon, a child was born and it was half man, half bull. It had the body of a man, but with the hideous head of a bull. King Midas had Daedalus build a maze (the labyrinth) that the creature (it's called the Minotaur) to be trapped in. Each year, Crete had to send 7 men and 7 women to be locked in the maze and eaten by the Minotaur. One year a young man named Theseus was picked to go, and with the help of the princess Ariadne, killed the Minotaur and escaped together. (Later, they stopped at an island so Ariadne could bathe, and Theseus left without her. THE END.)
