Which of the following elements does not contribute to the dreary mood of this short passage from the novel Bleak House by Charl

es Dickens?
"Fog on the Essex marshes, fog on the Kentish heights. Fog creeping into the cabooses of collier-brigs; fog lying out on the yards, and hovering in the rigging of great ships; fog drooping on the gunwales of barges and small boats. Fog in the eyes and throats of ancient Greenwich pensioners, wheezing by the firesides of their wards; fog in the stem and bowl of the afternoon pipe of the wrathful skipper; fog cruelly pinching the toes and fingers of his shivering little 'prentice boy on deck."

The answer is Infinitives. This is because infinitives uses "to + verb". This does not intensify or add to the mood of the excerpt. The verbs, adjectives and punctuation that make the makes the excerpt to show the mood. Additional information, infinitives are not verbs.

Answer:

The element that does not contribute to the dreary mood of this short passage from the novel Bleak House by Charles Dickens is:

Infinitives

Explanation:

The reason behind this is that in the first place we recall that the mood in a piece of text is the atmosphere the author creates using, adjectives, stylistic devices, and many more elements to achieve it. Now, in our case, repetition provides the same level of importance to the elements involved by it. So it is necessary to create a context. Punctuations lets you emphasize different moments, and elements. Adjectives allow us to provide a characteristic of an object or action. While infinitives by themselves don't provide the atmosphere because eat or dance by themselves doesn't provide a perspective or style.

Which two characters does Achebe describe as being “ill-fated” in Things Fall Apart.
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Chinua Achebe describes Unoka and Okonkwo as ill-fated

Explanation:

In Chapter 3 of Things Fall Apart, Achebe writes:

Unoka was an ill-fated man. He had a bad chi or personal god, and evil fortune followed him to the grave, or rather to his death, for he had no grave. He died of the swelling which was an abomination to the earth goddess...He was carried to the Evil Forest and left to die.

Okonkwo attempts to determine his own fate. Knowing his father was a failure, he works the yam fields twice as hard to compensate. However, Okonwko is also a character in a tragedy, both personal and cultural (both he and his tribe will "fall apart" and die). In tragedies, characters are engineered for a downfall. Obviously, as a character, Okonkwo has no control over his and his tribe's death. Yet, Okonkwo fights to the death, regardless. So, in a way, he chooses his fate by beheading the messenger. He chooses to be placed in a situation which allows him to be aggressive and violent so as to cause his own self-destruction by violent means.
