How did Edgar Allan Poe create suspense in his classic horror story, “The Pit and the Pendulum?”

English

Whitepunk [10]3 years ago

I think that a big part of the suspense in "The Pit and Pendulum" comes from two sources.  


The first is the unknown. The reader has no idea why the protagonist has been arrested and sentenced. The opening paragraphs have him in and out of conscious thought all while hallucinating. We don't know who he is or what he has done to deserve punishment. Once he is in his cell, the unknown continues.

Explain in 2 sentences. "COURAGE is what it takes to stand up and speak and what it takes to sit down and listen"
julsineya [31]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

This quote was made by Winston Churchill, an orator who knew the courage it took to speak and also to listen.

The quote "COURAGE is what it takes to stand up and speak and what it takes to sit down and listen" basically means it takes courage to do the right thing (decide when to stand up and speak and when to sit down and listen).

Courage does not always mean standing up and speaking, sometimes it entails sitting down, questioning your own opinions and beliefs and listening to other people speak.

Using Strategies and Word Patterns: The Code Book
12345 [234]

Answer:

The central idea of The Code Book is meaningful to me because I always assumed no one who wasn’t supposed to could read the information I share. It bothers me that people are out there creating and sending out viruses and Trojan horses. But it is important for me to know so that now I can try to protect myself better. From now on, I’ll be more careful about the programs and applications I use because when i get home and pay my bill over my internet banking, i have no idea where this information is going through. When i send a picture to my friend that lives across the street, that information can go to Germany and back before reaching my friend. Everything seems and feels so simple and intuitive, but it all happens in the dark and we have no control. Privacy doesn't exist in the internet for any of us in our daily routine and it is naive to think otherwise. A password doesn't protect my privacy, it gives me the illusion of privacy.
