Can anyone summarize the short story The Angry Kettle by Ding Xiaogi please?

English
1 answer:
Mariana [72]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

There are lots of language conventions, or techniques, used in this short story. I've provided some examples below. I hope you find the examples helpful.

I was walking to the nearest phone booth to call the landlady, when I heard that kettle's horrific scream behind me.

In this first example, the author has used personification (giving human characteristics to an inanimate object) to describe the kettle as "screaming." Using personification like this is an effective way of conveying the narrator's feelings, as those feelings seem to be manifested in her perceptions of the environment around her. The demonstrative pronoun "that" in this particular quote also attributes a special significance to this kettle, implying that it has already been the cause of some upset. The kettle is personified throughout the story, often as "that evil kettle" or "the demonic kettle." In fact the repetition (another common language convention in literature) of the personification arguably.

How can you explain the 3-4 drops of ruby colored drops of fluid that fell into Rowena's goblet without her realizing it?
dedylja [7]

The drops can be considered a type of poison or blessing in Rowena's life, as they were placed by an unknown individual and caused her death.

Although you haven't shown the story this question refers to, we can say from the context of the question that it refers to "Ligeia" written by Edgar Alan Poe.

About "Ligeia" we can say that:

  • This is a short story that shows a narrator in love with Ligeia, a beautiful and intelligent woman.
  • The narrator, however, marries Rowena, a woman he does not love and does not intend to love.
  • Ligeia dies throughout the story, which leaves the narrator extremely depressed and violent.
  • Rowena is very afraid of him and lives miserable, trapped in a loveless marriage. This deteriorates her health very badly.
  • When Rowena is agonizing in her bed, a mysterious and invisible individual drops red drops into the glass that Rowena goes to have a drink from.
  • These drops cause Rowena's death.
  • In this case, the drops can be seen as a poison, which took Rowena's life, or as a blessing, as it brought peace to her soul.
  • The mysterious individual can be interpreted as the spirit of Ligeia, who wished to free Rowena from her suffering, or as the narrator who caused Rowena's death as a way of getting rid of her presence.

Based on this, we can see that Poe wanted to convey a very strong message through the short story. This message showed that love is such a strong and overwhelming feeling that it can create terrible and frightening situations.

storchak [24]

According to "The Veldt" by Ray BradBury...


Answer to the First Question: Assuming the inflated value of $9 still applies to the time of this answer, today the Happylife Home System would have a price of $270,000 dollars, since:

30,000 x 9 = 270,000


Answer to the Second Question: There would be a market for this system as long as the governments approve of the risks implicated.

Anyone aware of the system's capabilites would not think twice about purchasing one - provided they could afford it -. The fact that a machine could do any chore of daily life, as well as provide simulated entertainment with no boundaries is simply irresistible to anyone. <u>The benefits are worth the price.</u>

The customers would not worry about the dangers at first; they would consider themselves responsible enough to manage a balanced life of luxuries.

The speaker primarily characterizes God as A) meddling B) merciful C) omnipotent D) remote E) vengeful I.E. Giving back the flow
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

D) remote

Explanation:

This poem, published in Louisville Journal on March 20,1861, characterized God as a remote person who had no real relationship or concerns with the sufferings of the discriminated blacks. To make this point, the poet asked several questions like, "Has God, then, no world to look after but ours?" This question portrayed God as a busy person who was not interested in the affairs of men.

The poet also mentioned that 'God might have been busy searching for a wild star'. Thus, God is shown to lack concern for the sufferings of men.
