Answer:

Because experience has been compared to a 'lamp'.

Explanation:

Metaphor is the figure of speech in which comparison is made. The comparison is made between two things which are very different from each other. They are very different fro each other but there lies one aspect in common to them. The characteristic common helps in building a comparison between them. In the above excerpt, the experience of the writer is been compared with a 'lamp'. This is an example of a metaphor.

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

O Montresor is an unreliable narrator.

Explanation:

This passage is narrated in the first person. As we know, Montressor, the narrator, is an unbalanced man and crazy for revenge. In his conception Fortunato would never be able to understand what his plans were and why he acted the way he did, but we are not able to know if this is true, through the narration of Montressor.

As we only know his perception of what happens in history, we do not know what is real and what is invented, so we can say that he is not a reliable narrator.

The narrative arc in this chapter most closely follows the character of:
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Buck

A powerful dog, half St. Bernard and half sheepdog, who is stolen from a California estate and sold as a sled dog in the Arctic. Buck gradually evolves from a pampered pet into a fierce, masterful animal, able to hold his own in the cruel, kill-or-be-killed world of the North. Though he loves his final master, John Thornton, he feels the wild calling him away from civilization and longs to reconnect with the primitive roots of his species.

Spitz

Buck’s archrival and the original leader of Francois’s dog team. Spitz is a fierce animal—a “devil-dog,” one man calls him—who is used to fighting with other dogs and winning. He meets his match in Buck, however, who is as strong as Spitz and possesses more cunning. Spitz is an amoral being who fights for survival with all of his might, disregarding what is right and wrong.

Curly

A friend of Buck’s, met on the journey to the North. Curly’s death, when she naively tries to be friendly to a husky, acts as a warning to Buck of the harshness and cruelty of his new home.
