from “The Fall of the House of Usher” by Edgar Allan Poe During the whole of a dull, dark, and soundless day in the autumn of th

e year, when the clouds hung oppressively low in the heavens, I had been passing alone, on horseback, through a singularly dreary tract of country, and at length found myself, as the shades of the evening drew on, within view of the melancholy House of Usher. I know not how it was—but, with the first glimpse of the building, a sense of insufferable gloom pervaded my spirit. I say insufferable; for the feeling was unrelieved by any of that half-pleasurable, because poetic, sentiment, with which the mind usually receives even the sternest natural images of the desolate or terrible. I looked upon the scene before me—upon the mere house, and the simple landscape features of the domain—upon the bleak walls—upon the vacant eye-like windows—upon a few rank sedges—and upon a few white trunks of decayed trees—with an utter depression of soul which I can compare to no earthly sensation more properly than to the after-dream of the reveller upon opium—the bitter lapse into every-day life—the hideous dropping off of the veil.

Answer:

Poe presents a more poetic writing and full of adjectives, in addition to the presentation of narration in first person. Chopin, on the other hand, presents a more direct and objective writing, with full exposure of facts and narration in a third person.

Explanation:

While reading the passage written by Poe, we can see that the author was adept at using first-person narration, where the narrator is the main character of the story. In addition, Poe's writing is quite poetic, subjunctive, full of meanings and metaphors, with a strong appeal to sentimentality and full of adjectives.

The reading of the excerpt written by Chopin, presents characteristics totally different from those found in the Poe excerpt. Chopin is a fan of fast, incisive and objective writing, for this reason, we fail to notice the recurrent use of adjectives and metaphors, since the author prefers to establish a clearer and less verbose writing.

We're the states free to trade among themselves under the articles of confederation
kakasveta [241]
I'd say so. The Articles of Confederation actually gave the states too much individual power to begin with, and that's why they revised it/changed it.

Can anybody do this for me please hurry ! This is due
Archy [21]

Answer:

One time a celebrity spoke out was about weight and her name is Lizzo. She said that many women are judged by their weight and it isn't fair because many might be trying to lose it but can't. Lizzo said she was an advocate to women who are heavier and she will make her voice heard so all women are treated equally no matter weight or race. This made me respect her more because instead of complaining about her weight problems she spoke out and said some people can't have model bodies and they should respect their bodies even if they are not perfect. It helped me see that I was right to believe that women aren't always allowed to have perfect bodies that some have their own unique bodies.
