Why does the narrator call himself nervous but not mad in the first paragraph in the Tell Tale Heart

English
1 answer:
Vladimir79 [104]3 years ago
8 0
It was the beating of the old man's heart. It's not madness, says the narrator, "but over-acuteness" of his sense of hearing caused by his nervousness, as he says in the opening paragraph of the story. ... The narrator's obsession shifts from the old man's "Evil Eye" to the old man's loudly beating heart.

Answer:

Shall continue to

Explanation:

The author's claim is that students should have more recess time. That is the point he/she is trying to prove. "Without more recess time" means "if the students don't have more recess time." The answer is not 'will,' because the author is trying to prove that students are already struggling with their problems and won't get better unless they have more recess time. It is not 'might,' because that is still negative for their point that students should have more recess time to not struggle with their problems. It is 'shall continue to' because the author is proving that students are already struggling with problems and will continue to struggle without more recess time.

What is the effect of the exposition on the story? It provides background about Jerome’s love of sports, which becomes meaningfu
Juliette [100K]

This story is about Jerome and Bix, they are two students, the first one is an Afro- American and the second  one is a white boy. ¨The Moves Make The Man¨¨ is a sports novel, written by Bruce Brooks. This story deals with many topics such as racism, cruelty, violence, poverty, mental problems, motivation, the deception and truth, its consequences, the psychology of adolescents, society and, in part, religion. The exposition is a part of the story, which precedes the beginning of the plot, gives background information and sometimes prior events. The right answer is B), because Jerome wants to write a book about his disappeared friend Bix. He emphasizes, that he is the only one who can write this story and it`s going to be truthful. Jerome also states, that he doesn`t understand everything, but the whole summary is in his head. He also mentions his point of view on the society and moral values of ¨white churches¨, that he believes are not so good as his, he belongs to. Jerome tells us how he took Bix`s notebook, because his friend let him do it. From one side it was a theft, but Jerome denied that. Bix wanted him to take it and didn`t want his step-father had it. Jerome thought that his step-father would have burnt it and Jerome didn`t think that he had been a thief. The text is full of sorrow and it shows that Jerome loved his friend, he missed him and he wanted to show everyone that Bix wasn`t as bad as society thought. He had disappeared, but Jerome wanted to tell the whole truth of his life in order to show why he did it. There is some information about sports, the source of this information hides in Bix`s notebook, but the answer A) doesn`t fit, and answer C) neither, because Jerome doesn`t mention any social media, which could have caused a problem. Jerome is writing a book, but we don`t know how he is going to use this information. He is seeking the truth and perhaps he is going to publish it, but this question is left unanswered for the readers.

In The Great Gatsby, does wealth alone decide which class a character belongs to?
Nata [24]

I believe so because Gatsby was a wealthy man who was poor at first and worked his way to become rich and the woman he loved was also rich and had a high class. The poorer people were lower class in the book/movie as well

The best strategy you can use to clarify the concept of elective franchise is option 4: Use context clues within the sentence itself.

The sentence that includes the term "elective franchise" provides you with the following clues: "<em>this first right of a citizen</em>" and "<em>leaving her without represenation in the halls of legislation</em>". These clues help you understand the meaning of elective franchise. Thus, the concept can be explained as the right a citizen has to vote and to be represented.
