In this excerpt from Herman Melville’s short story \"The Lightning-Rod Man,\" which parts best support the view that the narrato

r equates the salesman with the devil?
A) The hairs of our heads are numbered, and the days of our lives

B) See, the scroll of the storm is rolled back; the house is unharmed; and in the blue heavens I read in the rainbow, that the Deity will not, of purpose, make war on man's earth

C) Impious wretch!" foamed the stranger, blackening in the face as the rainbow beamed

D) The scowl grew blacker on his face; the indigo-circles enlarged round his eyes as the storm-rings round the midnight moon. He sprang upon me; his tri-forked thing at my heart

E) I trod it; and dragging the dark lightning-king out of my door, flung his elbowed, copper scepter after him.

F) But spite of my treatment, and spite of my dissuasive talk of him to my neighbors, the Lightning-rod man still dwells in the land; still travels in storm-time, and drives a brave trade with the fears of man

The answers are C, D, E and F.

All these sentences present <em>parts that  are in some way a description of the</em> <em>devil </em>: Sentence C describes the <em>stranger's foul language and dark appearance</em>. D: the weird expression<em> getting darker and his three-forked</em> <em>thing </em>(typical image of the devil). E: <em>dark lightening-king</em>. F: <em>still travels in storm-time; drives a brave trade with the fears of man. </em>(people's fears allow the devil to act boldly.)

Answer:

King of the lizards: There are over 3,000 lizard species, but the Komodo dragon wins the prize for being the largest living lizard in the world! It is a type of monitor lizard, an ancient species of reptile with ancestors that date back more than 100 million years. Komodo dragons were unknown by western scientists until 1912, and their common name came from rumors of a large dragon-like lizard occurring in the Lesser Sunda Islands. Indeed the yellow color of the Komodo dragon’s long, forked tongue reminds people of mythical dragons that spit fire!

These large lizards range in color from black to yellow-gray, depending on their location, and have a rough, durable skin reinforced with osteoderms (bony plates) protecting them from injuries from scratches and bites. Komodo dragons also have a large, muscular tail and long, powerful claws.

HABITAT AND DIET

Komodo dragons live on only five islands in southeastern Indonesia: Indonesia’s four islands within Komodo National Park (Komodo, Rinca, Gili Montang, Gili Dasami), and the island of Flores. The islands are volcanic in origin, rugged and hilly, and covered with both forest and savanna grassland. Komodo dragons have the smallest home range of any large predator in the world! They like it hot, with daytime temperatures during the dry season that often reach 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 degrees Celsius) with 70-percent humidity.  

Some dragons scratch shallow burrows to rest in at night to keep warm and as a cool shelter to retreat to from the heat of the day. They may either make their own burrows or use an existing one another lizard created.  Sometimes these burrows can be seen along the slopes of dry streambeds among tree roots. However, not all Komodo dragons use burrows; in fact, one adult male on Komodo Island often sleeps at night in an abandoned hut that visitors used to stay in!

An adult dragon leads a life of leisure. It emerges from its burrow to look for a sunny spot to warm up in. Then it’s off to find breakfast, followed by a nice long nap in the shade during the hottest part of the day. After a late afternoon meal, the dragon is ready for bed, sleeping soundly in its burrow until a new day begins. It is a solitary creature that lives and hunts alone.

An adult Komodo dragon eats whatever food is available. Its natural prey, however, is the Timor deer. The deer are wary and quite agile, requiring the dragon to resort to lying in ambush in the long grass next to game trails, in order to be successful in hunting. When the deer passes by, the dragon uses its long claws and sharp teeth to attack. If the prey escapes, the dragon can rely on its long tongue to find its whereabouts, even up to a mile away (1.6 kilometers) away!

Komodo dragons also eat water buffalo and wild pigs, both of which were introduced by man, as well as snakes and fish that wash up on the shore. On Rinca and Komodo islands, pigs have become common in some areas and are now competitors for food with the big lizards. Some dragons have visible scars from conflicts with wild boars. Komodo dragons may also be cannibalistic. Fortunately, the young spend their lives in trees, which likely helps reduce their risk of predation from the adults.

In addition, Komodo dragon saliva contains potentially harmful bacteria that are thought to help weaken prey that are too large for a single dragon to overpower. One study discovered 23 species of bacteria in the saliva of wild dragons, yet only 10 species of bacteria in the saliva of dragons in zoos. Some recent research suggests that Komodo dragons might also be venomous due to some of the properties of components in their saliva. Whether they are venomous or not is subject to interpretation at this time; it is too early to make this conclusion until more research is done.

What does the narrator in the story, "The Tell-Tale Heart" want people to think about him?
galben [10]

Answer:

What does the narrator of "The Tell-Tale Heart," want people to think about him? He wants people to think he is intelligent & patient.

Explanation:

In "The Tell-Tale Heart," the narrator is speaking directly to the reading audience. In the first line of the story, the narrator says, ". . .but why will you say that I am mad?" Here, the "you" directly addresses the reader.

At the end of the story, the narrator hears his victim's heart beating underneath the floorboards. His heightened sensitivity to imagined sounds demonstrates his paranoia and mental instability. It's also possible he mistakes the sound of his own accelerating heartbeat for the dead man's Hereof, why does the narrator think he is not mad in the Tell Tale Heart? The narrator does not want his listeners to believe that he is mad because he wants what he has to say to be taken seriously and not written off as the ravings of a lunatic. Why does the narrator finally confess to the murder? He hears the heart pound and he thinks that the police can hear it but aren't tell. ... It was his own heart beat.So, the title also refers to the narrator's heart. ... We could look at the whole story of the old man's murder as a tale told by the narrator, a tale from his own heart. The title refers to both the narrator's heart, and to the old man's heart, and to the tales told by both.
