<h3>What are some <u>sensory</u> images used in the first few paragraphs of "The Scarlet Ibis"?</h3>

Answer: "The Scarlet Ibis" is a short story written by novelist James Hurst. The writer uses a lot of color, the sounds and smells in the first few paragraphs to describe the yard and house with some sensory images.

Explanation: Hurst describes visually the "gleaming white" of the house, the "pale fence across the yard", the "green draped parlor", the weeds that "grew rank amid purple phlox", the "rotting brown magnolia petals".  

Hurst uses sound to talk about the way birds sounded as a child and how they sound now that the tree is bigger and leafier, "now if an oriole sings in the elm, its song seems to die up in the leaves". The graveyard flowers speak, "softly the names of our dead".

He also uses smell to talk about the graveyard's flowers smell, "drifted across the cotton field and through every room of our house".

The critics declared the play a winner. What kind of complement is indicated by the bolded word?
Annette [7]
Assuming that the bolded word is winner, the correct answer is object complement.
The word winner refers to the word <em>play - </em>and given that the word play is the direct object of this sentence, then the word <em>winner </em>will be its complement - it will complete it, and answer the question What did the critics declare the play to be?
It cannot be a predicate nominative because it is not preceded by a verb. It cannot be a direct object because that is <em>the play. </em>It cannot be a predicate adjective because it is a noun, not an adjective.

Based on the things Orwell has predicted in the story, which elements do you believe have already either begun to happen or have
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Okay, you didnt specify which Orwell story, but I'm assuming 1984

Explanation:

- the constant government surveillance all characters in 1984 are under is not that far from the way people will document their lives on social media for all to see. also, the Patriot Act and similar post-911 laws in the US make government surveillance a very real thing in all citizens' lives

- the personified idea of Big Brother is something that exists, to a lesser extent, in the form of world leaders such as Trump, Bolsanaro, etc., who have built "cults of personality" around themselves. in those cases, criticizing policies or the government is the same as a personal attack on said politicians' very humanity

- the government tortures its prisoners with their greatest fear (ie rats). in other words, they find out a person's weak spot and then exploit it for their own gain. advertisers literally do the commercialized version of that very thing nowadays: they monitor someones online activities to determine their interests, then use that information to target ads and try to sell them things
