Answer:

Because of the sounds of the "o" and the "r"

Explanation:

"Philosophy of Composition" is an essay written by Edgar Allan Poe in which he attempts to explain a theory about how good writers write when they write well. Poe uses his own composition from the poem "The Crow" as an example. In this essay, Poe explains why he chose the word "nervermore" as the chorus of "The Raven."

Poe considered that the chorus of "The Raven" should be a small word that brought a certain monotony of sound but renewed its meaning with each repetition. Poe also wanted the word used in the chorus to have a fortee sound that was susceptible to prolonged emphasis, with the loudest vowel among the vowels associated with the letter "R". The loudest vowel in Poe's consent was the letter "O", so we can define that the word "nevermore" was chosen because of the association between the letters "O" and "R".

Answer:

- Phallic

Explanation:

A psychoanalyst would reflect Amber's and Jerome's issues as displaying fixation at the 'phallic stage' as they display an exhibitionistic and sexually aggressive tendency. Amber has developed the Electra complex(sexual attraction and affection towards male parent or similar) while Jerome develops the Oedipus complex(sexual attraction and love for the female parent) in Freudian terms.

The Phallic stage is the third stage in Freud's theory of psychosexual development. In this stage, the child develops an erotic attraction towards the opposite sex parent and stands as a rival to the same-sex parent. In this case, Jerome is dating the women who are like his mother while Amber dates men of her father's age.

There are many different genres of fiction, each with its own distinct characteristics. Examples of genres include detective fic

skad [1K]

For me, personally, the genre I enjoy most and which is by far my favorite genre is fantasy. The works in this genre are The Lord of the Rings by Tolkien, A Song of Ice and Fire by George Martin, The Dark Tower by Stephen King, etc. What I like about this genre, apart from all the fantastic creatures and magic, is definitely the heroism and strength of many characters, who go through many perils throughout their quest. And of course, there are dragons. :)
There are some downsides to it, of course. If you don't like unrealistic situations, this is definitely not for you. Characters may often be portrayed as either good or bad, and you know that in the end, good always wins, which is not always the most interesting ending.
