The answer is B. They have no direct relationship to the things they represent.

Answer:

Explanation:

It is really D: All of the above.

Usually an arbitrary symbol is thought of as B. And that could very well be the answer. They don't have any seeming relationship to the object they represent.

But it is also possible that they need not be material or physical.  The contents of a letter can be an arbitrary symbol.

Because it is arbitrary, it can have several meanings. The symbols in Revelation in the Bible certainly fall into this category, although many Christians would dispute this point.

I'd pick D, but B is certainly a possible choice.

I have to do an assignment on a story called “The Premature Burial.”
Lena [83]

Answer:

The theme, simply put, is fear and its effect on one's mind - particularly a fear of the unknown.

Explanation:

"The Premature Burial" is a short story about one man's extreme fear of being buried alive.  He struggles from an internal conflict (him vs. his mind), as he obsessively imagines himself being buried alive over and over.  It is worth noting that the narrator frequently suffers from catalepsy (loss of sensation and consciousness similar to death) hence, fearing a cataleptic state will make others believe he is dead.

1. What does Walter learn about himself in this conversation?
hjlf
As Mama’s only son, Ruth’s defiant husband, Travis’s caring father, and Beneatha’s belligerent brother, Walter serves as both protagonist and antagonist of the play. The plot revolves around him and the actions that he takes, and his character evolves the most during the course of the play. Most of his actions and mistakes hurt the family greatly, but his belated rise to manhood makes him a sort of hero in the last scene.

Throughout the play, Walter provides an everyman perspective of the mid-twentieth-century Black male. He is the typical man of the family who struggles to support it and who tries to discover new, better schemes to secure its economic prosperity. Difficulties and barriers that obstruct his and his family’s progress to attain that prosperity constantly frustrate Walter. He believes that money will solve all of their problems, but he is rarely successful with money.
