English

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.

Which of the following methods of communication did Native American tribes use?
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

<u><em>The correct option is A) smoke signals</em></u>

Explanation:

In the past, smoke signals were a common method for effective and visual communication over long distances. It uses puffs of smoke to generate a message.

The method of smoke signals simply implied that a fire is created and then covered by a blanket. When the cover was released, smoke would be created which could be seen over long distances.

Different fuels were used for making smokes and changes in the colour and density of smoke created different messages.
