2. Read the following excerpt from Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven":

English
1 answer:
madreJ [45]3 years ago
3 0

The use of rhyme and repetition in "The Raven", by Edgar Allan Poe, are meant to affect the reader in the following way:

It causes the reader to sense how desperate and devastated the speaker is.

Since the raven is a symbol of death and loneliness, as well as of a somber state of mind, the speaker wants it to leave his house. The presence of the animal affects the speaker in an unbearable way, since it reminds him of the loss of his significant other.

The rhymes make it for a feeling of frantic desperation, whereas the repetition, particularly "nothing more" and "nevermore", shows how strongly mourning affects the speaker, how devastated he is.

We can see how badly the speaker wants the bird to leave in the following passage:

"Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my

door!"

Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

Naya [18.7K]
I'm not sure how to understand this question... 
But if the question is asking about what the cat did, and how you would explain it?
or if they meant to explain that sentence...
if they mean to explain the sentence itself, I would say the answer is 
A

But is they meant to tell about the next chapter, I would ASSUME the answer to be 
B

In a drama, an "extra" is a character that is? A. Unimportant B.unseen. C. Unusual. D. Unnamed
lesya692 [45]
The correct answer is A: Unimportant.
An example of an extra in a movie is when the main characters are walking down the street in Manhattan and there are a bunch of people walking in the background. The people that are walking in the background are the extras because they are unimportant for the scene. Extras are there so when you watch a show, movie, broadway, e.t.c, it won't look like the performance is empty. Just think of how the main characters would be walking down the street with an empty road around them. How much more boring than having extras in the background would that be?
I hope this helped! Stay cool! :-)

Which sentence is parallel?
koban [17]
The correct option is this: HE RAN DOWN THE STEP, JUMPED IN HIS CAR AND QUICKLY DROVE OFF.
When writing a parallel sentence, one must ensure that the words used are in the same form. For instance, the sentence, Mary like to ski, to swim and to jump is a parallel sentence. It will be wrong to say that, Mary like to ski, to swim and jumping. In this case, you can see that the words placed in front of 'to' did not rhyme all through.<span />
