English

Answer:

A. Emerson repeats the word consistency to emphasize his disapproval of compliant thinking.

Explanation:

In the book, 'Self Reliance', by Ralph Waldo Emerson, the author talked about people who wanted to be consistent in their actions. This consistency stems from the fact that they wanted to always please people who know them by certain actions or ways of life in the past. Since they do not want to be seen in a different light, they fall back to a consistent lifestyle in order to be consistent from others perspective.

Emerson condemned such compliant thinking because he was an advocate of people not being limited in their thinking. People, he believed should be able to explore and reason extensively. They should also learn from their mistakes at their own pace, not conforming to the ideas or dictates of others.

What is the purpose of this story?
belka [17]

This is for “the tell-tales heart”

Answer: I have briefly read the book but here is my answer:

Explanation:I think that it is because the old mans heart beats were the reason of the narrators breakdown. They were pressuring the narrator to tell the truth. It was almost as if the old man was still alive persuading the narrator to tell the truth, but the old man didn’t need to do that. He only needed the narrators anxiety issues to do that. Between the eye, the anxiety, the heart beat, even the police, the narrator felt trapped in his own web that has been weaved every time be even looked at the old man. This story is about anxiety, remorse, sadness, guilt. The old man didn’t need to tell on the narrator. The narrator did that himself. In conclusion, it’s called “the tell-tales heart” because it was the heart that told on the narrator to the police, at least not directly. When we think of tell-tale, we think of someone who tells on people and exposes them, that is exactly what the heart did, but he did it in a way that would guilt and posses the narrator to do it himself. The purpose of the story is that no matter how much you try to run away, it will always catch up to you, whether it’s guilt, your past, your enemies. At one point you have to face it, before it’s too late.

Hope this helps!
