Answer:

The sound of the beating heart emphasizes the madness of the narrator in “The Tell-Tale Heart,” while the sound of the crying cat in “The Black Cat” does not.

Explanation:

In the story "The Tell-Tale Heart," we learn that the narrator of the story is tormented by the sound of a beating heart. This is the heart of a man he killed, and the reader knows that the heart cannot logically be beating. Therefore, the heart is only a symbol of the man's insanity. On the other hand, the crying cat in "The Black Cat" is a real sound that the man is not imagining, and therefore, is not a consequence of his madness.

I believe that your answer is the first option due to how late the crying is, and unlike in "The Tell-Tale Heart" where the heart is constant and represents the slow descent of madness, the cry of the cat only appears at the end.

The portion of the story where it shows the speaker's madness is actually his looking for and finding similarities in the second cat and wishing to kill it.

Hope this was helpful.

1. Describe the value of freedom for the human beings and how is it important
Basile [38]

Answer: The answer is given below

Explanation:

Freedom is just as important as the air we breath daily. With freedom, one can create and achieve anything while lack of freedom leads to struggle. A man without freedom will not be happy because freedom is life and without it, living becomes hell.  

Life without freedom is no life at all and man continually finde w way of attaining freedom about man attaining freedom whether social, political or financial freedom. Nelson Mandela had to fight the war against racial discrimination. While growing up, he had to face a lot of discrimination. His struggle eventually bore fruit and he created history as he was elected as South African president.

Man's quests for freedom is a daily challenge. Challenges such as pollution, diseases, advancement of science and technology are mountains which man seeks freedom for and wants to conquer. He must work harder in order to be free and he's always finding solutions to overcome these challenges as this is when he can truly say that he has attained freedom.
