Answer: 'Once upon a midnight dreary' and 'Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December' help establish the setting.

Explanation:

The setting is a literary element that provides us with the information about the time and/or place in which a particular story happens.

In Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven, the setting is explained in the first line of the poem, where the narrator tells us that the story takes place at night (around midnight). Moreover, the word 'dreary' indicates that the atmosphere is depressing.

In the following line: 'Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December', the narrator provides more information by telling us that the event that he is about to describe took place in December.

Which best explains how third person omniscient point of view affects "To Build a Fire"?

Rashid [163]

The third person omniscient point of view affects "To Build a Fire", by Jack London, because It offers insight to the man's transformation from someone who considers himself superior to nature to someone who is humbled by it.

The point of view is a literary technique that the writer uses to tell the story. In this case, it is the third person omniscient point of view. The story is told by an outsider. The narrator uses "the man" or "he" to refer to the protagonist that is confronted with nature in a place that reaches fifty-five degrees below zero. He is a resourceful man but, because of his arrogance, he underestimates the power of nature.

If my final exam is worth 7% if my grade and I have an 89 in the class how much will that effect my grade, If I get an 80 on the

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer: There are other factors involved here. Homework is a certain percentage I'm sure. Is yours up to date? Class participation? Essays? Other test scores? Projects? At 7% of your grade, an 80 on the final would drop you down to about 86. So it depends on what your grading system is as far as a letter grade. i.e. 90-100 A, 80-89 B, 70-79 C etc. Good luck on the test!
