Read the excerpt from section 3 of "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge." Overhead, as he looked up through this rift in the wood,

shone great garden stars looking unfamiliar and grouped in strange constellations. He was sure they were arranged in some order which had a secret and malign significance. How does the excerpt contribute to the theme of fate?

The excerpt contributes to the theme of fate in that it suggests that Farquhar is wrestling with forces larger than himself.

The fact that he was sure of the malign significance of the strange constellations and the voices he hears, suggests that Farquhar thinks an evil force has interfered in his life to have him killed.

Later in the story, however, we learn that the third part of the story was actually a<em> hallucination</em> that came to him between being thrown from the bridge and the rope breaking his neck, and that Farquhar has indeed died.

Tammy is passionate about animal safety. Her opponent feels that too much money is spent on helping animals in the neighborhood.
LuckyWell [14K]
Hmm, a strong argument typically includes a statement of one's own opinion, then your opponent's counterclaim, and reasons why the counterclaim is inaccurate or invalid. For instance, Tammy could have started off with a statement about how animal safety benefits the animals, and then address the counterclaim about it being expensive by stating it doesn't just help the animals, but the people as well. I think the answer here is false because Tammy's speech didn't include an argument about how expensive animal safety is. So false. I hope this helps, sorry it's so long.

Which genre uses dramatic elements to depict the flaws in human nature in a succinct, poignant way?
saw5 [17]

I believe that the best answer to this question would be a tragedy. However, there may be more than one genre that accomplishes this goal. A tragedy is, specifically, a form of drama. It, "treats in a serious and dignified style the sorrowful or terrible events encountered or caused by a heroic individual" (this is the definition given in Encyclopedia Britannica.) A tragedy most definitely depicts the flaws in human nature.

Which sentence from the passage best shows that Juhan values the culture of his homeland?
Naddika [18.5K]
Hi there! I feel that C.) would be the best answer for this question. Fighting in a war wouldn't show that you value the culture of your homeland, like shown in answer A.). B and D seem irrelevant to the question at hand, and since the language of a country relates directly to the culture and answer C.) shows that Juhan values it, it'd be safest to go with that answer.
