In "The Masque of the Red Death," Edgar Allan Poe personifies the Red Death. Which two excerpts from the story reflect this fact

?
Excerpt 1
The "Red Death" had long devastated the country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was its Avatar and its seal—the redness and the horror of blood.

Excerpt 2
The figure was tall and gaunt, and shrouded from head to foot in the habiliments of the grave. The mask which concealed the visage was made so nearly to resemble the countenance of a stiffened corpse that the closest scrutiny must have had difficulty in detecting the cheat.

Excerpt 3
His vesture was dabbled in blood—and his broad brow, with all the features of the face, was besprinkled with the scarlet horror. And now was acknowledged the presence of the Red Death. He had come like a thief in the night.

Excerpt 4
But in the western or black chamber the effect of the fire-light that streamed upon the dark hangings through the blood-tinted panes, was ghastly in the extreme, and produced so wild a look upon the countenances of those who entered, that there were few of the company bold enough to set foot within its precincts at all.

The personification is a figure of speech in which the speaker describes a thing with human attributes, in the excerpts 2 and 3 we can see that Poe describes the Red Death as “tall and gaunt”, “shrouded from head to foot in the habiliments of the grave”, “his broad brow”, “come like a thief in the night” giving to this spectral figure human characteristics.

What can you do to help change society?<br><br> Just want to know other peoples opinions
Lapatulllka [165]
Societal changes throughout the world are affecting families and schools. Because the development of children takes place in the context of both fam ily and school, parents, policy-makers and educators must understand the changes that both institutions are undergoing. Although exceptions exist, it is possible to identify five key societal phe

nomena in most regions of the world that directly affect families and how they interact with schools. Increasing urbanization, changes in the labor force (especially the increase in the number of women who work outside the home), new technology (especially television and micro-computers), the growth of knowledge and information, and the movement to decentralize responsibility for people's lives (including education) all have implications for human relationships in general and family life in particular.

Urgent plz help!!!!!!<br> What is NOT a purpose of the character of Moishe the Beadle in Chapter 1?
Ierofanga [76]

Moshe is awkward, clownish, shy, doesn't talk much but sings, deeply spiritual, very poor, and the community likes him.    Are there any options to choose from?   One critical way in which Moshe is important to both Eliezer and the people of Sighet is because of his symbolic meaning.
