The phrases creating a tone of foreboding are:

"strange blight;"
"evil spell;"
"mysterious maladies;"
"shadow of death."

<em>Foreboding</em> means predicting or announcing that something bad is about to happen. Taking the answers one by one, you can see how they relate to the same ominous idea:

a "strange blight" and "evil maladies" refer to a destructive condition which no-body can explain;
an "evil spell" means that it is interpreted as a magical curse;
the "shadow of death" is a metaphor meaning that death is coming to the crops or cattle (depending on the original text excerpt).

Choose one of the stories from this lesson, and write one paragraph about that story's plot, characters or theme, and explain ho

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

he theme of a story is what the author is trying to convey — in other words, the central idea of the story. Short stories often have just one theme, whereas novels usually have multiple themes. The theme of a story is woven all the way through the story, and the characters' actions, interactions, and motivations all reflect the story's theme.

But don't confuse theme with the story's plot or moral. The plot is simply what happens in the story and the order of the story's events, and the moral is the lesson that the writer wants the main character (and by extension, you) to learn from the story. Each of these serves the overall theme of the story. That is, the events of the story illustrate the theme, and the lesson that you learn relates directly to the theme.

So when you're trying to recognize the theme of a story, ask yourself what the author is trying to convey through the characters and events of the story. For instance, in The Catcher in the Rye, Holden Caulfield's actions are motivated by his not wanting to grow up, so one of the main themes of this novel is the preservation of innocence.

Speech to the Citizens of DePaul

C. He persuaded the town's council members to reject the company's plan.

Explain: He knew that if the company drilled into the earth and made factories to get oil that it would damage the wildlife. He also knew that it would upset the farmers (which were 60% of the people in the town). So he talked to the council and they realized what an important decision this would be.

Hope this helps!
