why does the speaker of "Sailing to Byzantium" want to abandon his mortal body? (support position with evidence)

English

Anon25 [30]3 years ago
7 0
The speaker wants to abandon his mortal body because bodies as they age become old, raggedy, and useless. He says "An aged man is but a paltry thing, A tattered coat upon a stick". This shows how much he dislikes his old body and wishes to "<span>But such a form as Grecian goldsmiths make", which means he thinks that in Byzantium he will take the form of a golden statue. </span>

stepladder [879]

Answer:

The fact that Laurie's mother doesn't realize that Laurie is Charles develops the story's theme in the sense that:

A. The mother's fascination with Charles's behavior and excuses for Laurie's home  behavior develop the theme that parents are often blind to their own children's  faults.

Explanation:

This question is about the short story "Charles" by author Shirley Jackson. It is told from the perspective of Laurie's mother. Each day, coming back home from kindergarten, her son Laurie tells a different story about a boy named Charles who misbehaves at school. Laurie himself is misbehaving at home - being impolite, ignoring his parents, mocking them... Yet, <u>his mother and father never make the connection that Laurie is lying about the existence of this other kid. They become so fascinated about Charles, so eager to meet the mother of such a troublemaker, they don't realize their own son is Charles. They even take advantage of Charles's "existence" to justify Laurie's bad behavior, claiming Charles is influencing him. Blind to their own son's faults, it is only at the end of the story that the mother is told by Laurie's teacher that there is no Charles in their classroom.</u>

navik [9.2K]

In the story, “The Cask of Amontillado,” Poe's use of an unreliable narrator to tell the story heightens the uncertainty and sense of horror felt by the reader.

<h3>Who is “The Cask of Amontillado,” about?</h3>

The short story “The Cask of Amontillado” was by Edgar Allen Poe. This depicts the narrative of a man's vengeance on a buddy that he believes has been mocking him for far too long.

Montresor is the story's narrator, but he lacks credibility because he only tells the story from his own perspective.

The fallible narration through the figure of Montresor casts doubt on the story and leaving readers undecided about their sensitivities about it.

Poe's choice of an unreliable narrator to recount the story heightens the reader's sense of doubt and terror.

Therefore, option B is correct.
