English
1 answer:
Mariana [72]4 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.

I can help you with the writing section.

The quote spoken by Jeff Bingaman is basically stating that he supports immigration reform that is for family, reunification, and economic contributions and humanitarian concerns.

Your task is to write an exposition based on his quote. A exposition is defined as a. comprehensive description and explanation of an idea.

Here is info regarding the requirements of the exposition:

- The thesis statement you create should defend your position or opinion about what he has said. So it should be an argument.

- Your supporting arguments should. back up why you feel or think the way you do about his idea on immigration. This would be the why.

- A restatement would basically be a conclusion.

Read the following poem and answer the question that follows."Beat! Beat! Drums!" by Walt WhitmanBeat! beat! drums!—blow! bugles
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

The speaker commands the instruments to play loudly. He imagines the sound bursting through a "solemn church", scattering the congregation, into the school where the scholar is studying. He imagines the sound disturbing a bride and groom. He commands the instruments to play so loudly that it changes that they disrupt everyone's life.

The author intended to invoke the enviroment of war without speaking about soldiers. He uses onomatopeia and enphasis in certain words so that the speaker, whilst reading the poem, could also imagine the drums playing.

That which is "solemn", "quiet", and "peaceful" is meant to be disturbed, to be changed by the loud instruments playing.

PART A: Which sentences describes the main theme of the short story? of the story "Charles"
k0ka [10]

Answer:

A. Children sometimes act out when they’re attempting to figure out who they are.

Explanation:

The short story "Charles" by Shirley Jackson tells the story of a young boy Laurie who makes up the character of Charles as a reason for the problem in school. He makes up his alter ego Charles to justify the acts done in school and most probably, his actions in school.

The story tells Laurie who would always tell stories of his friend Charles doing this and that, hitting others, disobeying the teacher, getting punished, etc. The narrator, being the mother of Laurie, was not impressed with her child's schoolmate. So, she decided to find out Charles' mother in an attempt to find out more about hi, only to be told that there is no Charles in the kindergarten. This seems to suggest to the bigger picture that children act out when they are attempting to figure out their own identity.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
