Answer with Explanation:

Using sounds in a story is an essential way of allowing the readers to <em>bring out their senses</em> so they can fully understand what characters in the story feel and how events are actually happening.

"The Quest of the Silver Fleece" is a novel written by W.E.B. Du Bois. It centers on the life of Zora, a child who came from the <em>Southern area. </em>The author uses sound to establish the mood of the story.

For example, in the first chapter <em>(Dreams)</em>, the author describes the scene as night time by describing how the boy was listening to the voice of crickets. It is commonly known for crickets to chirp during night time. So, this creates <u>a peaceful mood in the mind of the readers. </u>

Another example in the same Chapter <em>(Dreams)</em>, the author describes the boy as to having heard a <em>human music</em>. This then changes the mood<u> from serene to something which the boy finds thrilling. </u>The boy then started to chase where the sound was coming from because he heard something so sweet. This makes the reader also<em> excited</em> to know who or what it was.

<em>"The boy wheeled blindly and fled in terror stumbling through the swamp, </em><em>hearing strange sounds </em><em>and feeling stealthy creeping hands and arms and </em><em>whispering voices.</em><em>" </em>This is another example in the<u> same chapte</u>r which shows a mystery in the boy. It brings about a <em>terrifying experience</em> that the boy is feeling. It gives a<u> mysterious mood</u> for the reader and a <u>curiosity </u>in why such strange sounds were causing terror on the boy.

Read this excerpt from "The tell-tale heart" by Edgar Allan Poe. Then fill the blanks in the paragraphs that follows.
Lorico [155]

Answer:

A character vs self

The exposition

Explanation:

The options you were given are the following:

  • A character vs self
  • A character vs nature
  • A character vs society

  • The exposition
  • The climax
  • The falling action
  • The resolution

<em>The Tell-Tale Heart</em> is a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe. It's told from the perspective of an unnamed narrator who is trying to convince the readers of his sanity while describing a murder he committed. He murdered an old man with a pale blue <em>vulture-eye. </em>After the murder, he begins hearing a thumping sound, which he interprets as the dead man's beating heart. The sound terrifies him and leads him to confess what he has done to officers.

The given passage is the beginning of the story, which means that it's the exposition. It introduces the characters and the conflict. In literature, there are two basic types of conflict:

  • Internal conflict - a character struggles with their own opposing desires or beliefs.
  • External conflict - a character struggles with an outside force, such as another character, nature, or society.

Here, we have an example of an inner (character vs self) conflict. The narrator tells us that the old man never wronged him and that he even loved him. However, he feels the need to murder him, as he explains it, because of his pale blue eye of a vulture, and decides to do that.
