Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. Read this excerpt from “The Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allan Poe. Then fill i

n the blanks in the paragraph that follows. TRUE! — nervous — very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses — not destroyed — not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily — how calmly I can tell you the whole story. It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain; but once conceived, it haunted me day and night. Object there was none. Passion there was none. I loved the old man. He had never wronged me. He had never given me insult. For his gold I had no desire. I think it was his eye! yes, it was this! He had the eye of a vulture — a pale blue eye, with a film over it. Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees — very gradually — I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever. In these opening lines, the reader is presented with a narrator who wants to kill "the old man" because of his eye. The author uses the lines to present a conflict. Based on this excerpt, this stage of the plot is most likely to occur in .

Answer:

The exposition

Explanation:

The exposition is the first section of a text. The exposition refers to the beginning part of the text, in which the author introduces the conflict to us for the first time. It is also the part in which the author presents background information about the characters, event, setting, etc. Writing a good exposition is crucial, as it is the first opportunity the author has to interest the reader in the story.

In his short story “The Man Who Was Almost a Man,” why does Richard Wright use a Southern dialect to present the thoughts and sp
vodomira [7]

The correct answer is B. Wright wants to enhance the realism of the story for the audience.

The short story "The Man Who Was Almost a Man" was published in 1961. The technique of faithfully portraying the way the characters talk, their accent and informality, had been used to enhance realism much before that date. An example would be the writer F. Scott Fitzgerald, who already employed such style in his writing in the 1920's - for instance 'S'alright' instead of 'It's alright.'

That is what Wright does in the short story. Dave - an African-American who works at a farm - and the other characters have a very specific dialect. From its faithful representation in the story, a lot can be noted by the reader without much explanation being necessary: from the way they talk and the things they talk about, the time and setting, the social and historical context can be inferred. The very first dialog in the story is an example of that:

"Howdy, Dave! Whutcha want?"

"How yuh, Mistah Joe? Aw, Ah don wanna buy nothing. Ah jus wanted t see ef yuhd lemme look at tha catlog erwhile."

Consider the character of Helmholtz. Do you think he will be a static or round character? How is Helmholtz a kindred spirit to B
Anastasy [175]

Helmholtz is a guy with an enormous amount of qualities. He is confident, good-looking, charming, well-liked and artistic. Although he is not completely at home in this new society, he is successful within it, and because of this, he is likely to be a static character.

Helmholtz is a kindred spirit to Bernard because both of them feel constrained by this world order. While Bernard is unable to adapt to this system because of his "weakness," Helmholtz is unable to adapt because of the superficiality of their pursuits.

Helmholtz secret ambition is to create art that is passionate, intense and emotional, such as Othello. However, there are no topics like that in the new world, and coming up with them is impossible from someone in that society. Helmholtz, however, holds unto the idea of writing something like that, and the closest he can get to is writing about the weather.

What bothers Helmholtz the most about his friend is how difficult Bernard finds it to fit into society, unlike himself. He finds this embarrasing.
