Mandarinka [93]3 years ago
6 0

<u>Explanation:</u>

Remember, the English word foreshadowing refers to a brief detail or scene that shows something that will occur again in the future. Indeed, this was the case in "House Taken Over" by Julio Cortazar.

For example, in the story a foreshadow of a shift in the tone of the story begins when we read about Elvio;

“I went down the corridor as far as the oak door, which was ajar, then turned into the hall toward the kitchen, when <em>I heard something in the library or the dining room. The sound came through muted and indistinct, a chair being knocked over onto the carpet or the muffled buzzing of a conversation...</em>I heard it. ....toward the door. I hurled myself against the door before it was too late and shut it...I ran the great bolt into place, just to be safe.”

Interestingly, from that point on the house became taken over by strange noises. In the end, the siblings been fully frightened left their ancestral home, that is when the true meaning title of the story becomes clearer. Indeed, it became a "House Taken Over".

Answer:

To,

The family of Mr. Albert

Date : 12 January 2021

It is very unfortunate for us to hear the demise of such a great human like Mr Albert. The earthquake last month made a lot of damage and took our loved ones from us.

Unfortunately Mr. Albert was one of them. He was a helpful person in nature and was very serious about the development of the society. He was a well wisher of our school and helped our institution many times in many ways. My deepest condolence lies with teh family.

Jealousy has become a main ingredient of sucess .Critcally comment on this statement with regard to the poem 'Frog and the Night
NemiM [27]
It is thanks to his jealousy that the Frog becomes the sole singer at the end of the poem.

He envied the Nightingale's talent and therefore tricked the Nightingale into practicing so much it died. After the Nightingale's death, the Frog became the only (and therefore best) singer. The Frog's success was only possible due to his jealousy. If he had not been jealous of the Nightingale, the Frog would not have become the singer he became.
