Answer:

HOW TO TELL A STORY  AND OTHERS  by Mark Twain

Paragraph 5 stated that "The humorous story is told gravely."  This statement narrows the author's main idea on "How to tell a story and others" to how a humorous story can be told.  This means that the author's specific purpose for writing this short story was to explain how to tell a humorous story.  Since this was not stated initially, the author decided to refine his main idea in this paragraph by stating clearly that "the humorous story is told gravely."  This assertion helps the storyteller to conceal the funny aspect from their audience. He then differentiates telling a humorous story from a comic and witting stories.

Explanation:

Mark Twain wrote "How to Tell a Story and Others" in 1897 to inspire writers and other storytellers that in telling their stories they should be mindful of the type of storytelling that their audience like.  Moreover, in the storytelling they must be resilient enough to hide the funny nature of the story while they are narrating it.  The overall purpose is to enable their audience to have the last laugh.  According to him, this makes telling a humorous storytelling a job for an artist.

What type of figurative language is used in Annabel Lee by Edgar Allen Poe? (provide an example)
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

Annabel Lee' is a poem by American Gothic writer Edgar Allan Poe. The poem was written in 1849 and was probably written about his wife, Virginia Poe, who died two years earlier. The poem tells a story of a young man (the narrator) who is in love with Annabel Lee. They live together in a kingdom by the sea, and they are very happy and in love. Their love is so wonderful that the angels are jealous of them, and they send a cold chill that kills Annabel Lee. The narrator is devastated by the loss of his love.

Figurative language uses literary devices to go beyond the actual meaning of the words and phrases. It is often used in literature and is the opposite of literal language, which tells things exactly as they are. Figurative language is used in literature because it can give new and hidden meaning to a story. While there are many different types of figurative language, in this lesson we'll look closely at uses and examples of symbolism, hyperbole, personification, and alliteration from 'Annabel Lee.'
