The description NOT given by Stephen King: A.) The muse-guy “scatter[s] creative fairy-dust all over your typewriter . . . .”

That's the opposite of the way novelist Stephen King describes the writer's muse in his book, <em>On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft," </em>first published in 2000.  King's book is an essential read for all aspiring writers -- not just novelists, but non-fiction writers like historians also.

Here's the full context of what King said about the "muse-guy" for writers:

<em>There is a muse, but he’s not going to come fluttering down into your writing room and scatter creative fairy-dust all over your typewriter or computer. He lives in the ground. He’s a basement kind of guy. You have to descend to his level, and once you get down there you have to furnish an apartment for him to live in. You have to do all the grunt labor, in other words, while the muse sits and smokes cigars and admires his bowling trophies and pretends to ignore you. Do you think it’s fair? I think it’s fair. He may not be much to look at, that muse-guy, and he may not be much of a conversationalist, but he’s got inspiration. It’s right that you should do all the work and burn all the mid-night oil, because the guy with the cigar and the little wings has got a bag of magic. There’s stuff in there that can change your life. Believe me, I know.</em>

Identify and explain Joseph Conrad's formal or informal writing in this passage from The Heart of Darkness, citing specific exam
Marat540 [252]

It doesn't look informal, but it is. Here's the evidence.

  1. The "miracle" is at first sight an accountant, not one of the disciples. It is a bit inaccurate and exaggerated which formal writing would not do.
  2. He came out to get a "breath of fresh air." This is quoted directly from what the man said. A breath of fresh air is not very formal. What did he actually do? He took a break from his work.
  3. The writing records a detail that the author is apologetic for. It was an unnecessary detail, but there is a reason for including him. We don't know what it is, but formal writing would never admit to including this. Or if it did use it, there would be no apology.
  4. Formal writing is very careful about how quotations are used and for what purpose.

Which quotation from the text most effectively develops Kennedy’s argument that the United States must maintain a strong militar
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer: C. "For only when our arms are sufficient beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be employed."

<em>Option A </em>states that the United States continues to support the work of the United Nations, one of our best tools to maintain peace.

<em>Option B </em>states that both sides need to agree on a system to inspect and control weapons.

<em>Option C </em>argues that the United States needs to gather more weapons and strengthen its military. Kennedy says that only when the military is "sufficient beyond doubt" (definitely more than what is necessary), can they hope for peace.

<em>Option D</em> claims that very few people in history have been privileged enough to be able to fight for freedom.
