Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death" In writing a story of this nature, Poe would have considered such historical examples as the Black Death or the bubonic plague of the Middle Ages as well as the cholera epidemics that ravaged Philadelphia in the 1790's and Baltimore in his own lifetime. However, "The Wife of His Youth" follows Mr. Ryder, a bi-racial man who was born and reared free before the Civil War. He heads the "Blue Veins Society", a social organization for colored people in a northern town; the membership consists of people with a high proportion of European ancestry, who look more white than black. The organization's name stemmed from the joke that one would have to be so white (to be a member) that veins could be seen through the skin.

In acts I and II of the tempest prospero interacts with ariel and caliban differently. which statement best describes his intera
ss7ja [257]

The correct answer is A.

Prospero's attitudes toward both Ariel and Caliban are those of a master. His magic gives him power over them, and he wields it differently. He had rescued Ariel from a treen in which he had been trapped by Sycorax, a witch who was Caliban's mother, before Prospero's arrival in the island. Prospero constantly reminds Ariel of this fact, and promises him eventual liberation; this combination of guilt and hope keeps Ariel motivated.

Prospero's attitude towards Caliban is much harsher. Caliban views Prospero as a usurper, while Prospero thinks of Caliban as little more than a monster, and threatens him with pain to keep him in line. Caliban taught Prospero how to survive on the island, while Prospero taught him language and religion, while making him his servant.

Ok the setting is clearly outside.

The first point could be that the description of the growling dog gives an effect of being surrounded by danger, especially with the repetition of the growling coming from everywhere.
It give a feeling of being trapped and Stephen king uses this to create tension.

The second point could refer to the woman and her strange actions because she is frightened of the unknown, and often being in the outside exposes you to things you can’t always escape from. King uses this to convey a fearful setting that a reader can relate to.

I hope this helps :)

PLEASE HELP ASAP

I think you should talk about how he was very narcissistic and conceded, that plays an important role on how people should be that way. Or about how when he died how his people reacted and worshipped him even though he was dead. Or how he may have been cocky but when it came to fighting he made it fair. he wouldnt use a weapon if his opponent wasnt.
