The last question, "I'm so happy that I could kiss you." That is the literal sentence.

The last sentence is meant to be taken literally. Going to the drawing board, hitting the hay, and being under the weather are not literal. They are more creative ways of saying a literal sentence.

Read this excerpt from "The World on Turtle's Back." The animals thought that perhaps there was dirt at the depths of the ocean,

Zinaida [17]

The correct answer is the second option. When the muskrat dove into the sea, we can infer that he reached the bottom, since his hand held a "tiny speck of earth" upon resurfacing. However, the muskrat likely did not have enough time or oxygen to swim all the way back up, and so instead held on to the dirt and drowned, allowing the body to float back to the surface. In this way, he sacrificed his own life, knowing that the dirt he procured would "make the earth grow."

What tone does the author create with the word choice? The Yellow Wallpaper apex

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

The best answer to the question: What tone does the author create with the word choice? The Yellow Wallpaper, would be: a tone of confusion and also of mystery.

Explanation:

"The Yellow Wallpaper" is a short story that was published in 1892 and it was written by American writer Charlotte Perkins Gilman. The story narrates the events in the lives of a young married couple who decide to go on a summer vacation to a mansion in order for the wife to get some much needed rest and isolation from the hard world. However, the situation turns into their disfavor when the young woman locks herself in the old nursery room where the couple had originally chosen to stay, and begins to see the shape of another woman behind the badly scratched yellow wallpaper in the room. All along the story, from beginning to end, Gilman sets a tone of confusion, especially when the events with the woman behind the wallpaper start to happen, and also of mystery. Sometimes it is possible to believe that there is another entity in the story aside from the wife, John, the husband, and his sister, and at others it seems like the two women (the wife and the shadow) are almost the same. The words used, the way they are used, generate that sense of mystery, of suspense, but most of all of confusion to finally understand what is going on.

Essay on a messy room.

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

As I walked into the room I was overcome with the strong musty odor. A few steps into the room when I looked down I saw crusty, discolored socks that looked like they had walked through mud without shoes on. To the left of these socks were old, worn out tennis shoes with little, dirty, white strings sticking out of the now tan colored tattered sides of them. The dark plastic laundry basket was overflowing onto the floor with wrinkled clothes. Light wash faded worn jeans with holes the size of quarters laid across an old silver metal chair. Bright, vibrant red shirts with cheerful white letters littered the shiny black leather computer chair.

The desk in front of the computer chair was a smooth dull grey surface, at least what you could see of it. Crumpled papers covered a majority of the desk and open books were scattered across the papers. In the corner of the desk, a black laptop sat closed with vibrant colors of sticky notes stuck to it. Bright blue pens were laid out at random across the desk beside rolls of clear tape and bottles of white out. Underneath the desk, a backpack lay wide open with deep red and green folders spilling out of it. The bed in the room was rumpled with clothes that had been thrown randomly around. Bed sheets were tangled at the end of the bed in a ball of knots; pillows were laying half out of their patterned pillow cases. It looked like a vicious tornado had ripped through the room and left all the possessions in a complete mess.

The smooth, hard wood floor was hardly recognizable underneath all of the random items that were thrown throughout the room. A roughly lined blue skateboard with bright lime green wheels lay on the floor ahead with the wheels facing up. Next to that, there were shiny silver wrenches and other tools laying there just waiting to be used on the board. A bright white baseball with dark red strings sat inside an old, worn, black and brown glove. Black and white baseball cleats with shiny silver spikes lay next to the door. The bottoms on them were caked with light brown mud and pieces of deep green grass. A garbage can stood next to the baseball glove and skateboard.

The black mesh garbage can was no bigger than two feet tall. Just by looking at it, I already knew that it hadn’t been emptied in a long time. The see through, brown Kroger bag in the can was ripped in small areas, no bigger than the size of peas. Old, torn tissues were shoved down into the bag, making the can look like it consisted of all blue and white. There were microwavable macaroni and cheese containers with a light film of the bright, yellow liquid cheese, overflowing from the top of the bag.

Old dishes lay in various places. The dishware that was in the room made it look like they hadn’t been moved or cleaned in months. Bowls covered with crusty, dried food, cups with green, fuzzy mold growing on the inside of them. Plates with dried up bread crumbs on them that looked like a little army of ants. There was a knife laid across the plate with light brown peanut butter caked onto it still. White napkins with flower designs on them were crumpled and smeared with the peanut butter from being used to wipe their mouths. After seeing what the room looked like I was in complete shock that anyone could manage to live in such a messy condition and not think twice about it.

Match the plot to the type of conflict.1. Carol and Brandi race for the gold medal.2. Miguel struggles with feelings of guilt3.

valkas [14]

Answer:

A. Man vs. Man - Carol and Brandi race for the gold medal.

B. Man vs. Self - Miguel struggles with feelings of guilt.

C. Man vs. Nature - Farmers experience a terrible drought.

D. Man vs. Higher power - Jonah is corrected by God.

E. Man vs. Society - Reverend Mundo protests Sunday sporting events.

Explanation:

The various forms of types of conflicts that are to be found in any narrative may be between man and nature, man with man, with self or even with the society. All these conflicts may also show the battle that the individual has to get through in order to move on with his life.

The types of conflicts along with the plot are as follows-

1. Man vs. man is seen in the competition between Carol and Brandi in their effort to get the gold medal. This competition to secure the better goal is a conflict of interest of the two persons involved.

2. Man vs. Self is seen in Miguel who is struggling with feeling guilty. This type of conflict deals with an individual and his inner emotions and feelings, a form of inner conflict within the persona and involves no other external identity.

3. Man vs. Nature is found in the farmers and the drought that had destroyed their crops. The farmers are in conflict with the terrible drought, a force of nature. Thus, it is a form of man and nature in conflict.

4. Man vs. Higher power is a form of conflict between an individual and some higher power, in this case God. God is the ever powerful entity over all, thus when Jonah disobeyed God, he gets corrected. This is a type of man vs. higher conflict.

5. Man vs. Society is shown when there is a conflict between an individual and the society he lives in. Thus, when Rev. Mundo protests against the sporting event that occurs on a Sunday, he is in conflict with the society. This conflict is based on the differences in interest.
