Read an essay about Edgar Allan Poe's story "The Black Cat" and look for weaknesses in the writing. Describe how the writer shou

sp2606 [1]

Explanation:

Phrases to be corrected:

-"The story revolves around the psychology of guilt and a murderer who commits a crime and is able to hide it."

The most concrete idea would be:

The story revolves around the psychology of a murderer who commits a crime and is able to hide it.

-"This article will analyze the issue of violence as it is contained in history".

It could be corrected as the following:

"This article will analyze what influenced the narrator to become a violent man and what the consequences were."

A correct punctuation must be made in the following paragraph:

"These animals included dogs, apes, and even donkeys. The theme of violence is also portrayed when the narrator, realizing his mistake, turns on himself and begins to hurt himself with the knife that he always carried with him."

The first stanza is a continuity of the idea from the previous paragraph, therefore it must be in the previous paragraph with a period followed.

In the following paragraph we can make some editorial corrections as well as punctuation:

"The other theme of the story is that of loyalty. Before the narrator began drinking, he was loyal to his wife and pet cat, Pluto. The theme of loyalty also shows up when the narrator gouges his cat's eye out. Even though his wife saw the kind of cruelty he had subjected the cat to, he was still loyal to him."

We can see in the previous paragraph that the subject of loyalty begins to be discussed, therefore it is not necessary for the writer of the essay to say again "the subject of loyalty is also shown ..." it could be said "We can quote a example when the narrator gouges out his cat's eye ".

The last paragraph, as it is a continuity of the previous paragraph where the writer continues talking about loyalty, must continue that idea in the previous paragraph with a period followed.

Therefore, there should be a single paragraph where it is not necessary to repeat the word "the issue of loyalty" but only leave the word "loyalty" because it is already known that that issue has been discussed. Therefore, they could be as follows:

"The other theme of the story is that of loyalty. Before the narrator began drinking, he was loyal to his wife and pet cat, Pluto. An example we can cite is when the narrator gouges out his cat's eye. Even though his wife saw the kind of cruelty he had subjected the cat to, he was still loyal to him, and loyalty is represented by the cat himself. After the narrator gouged out the cat's eye, the cat was still playing with the narrator after the pierced eye sock had healed. Under normal circumstances, the cat would have fled the house and moved to another house away from the brutality."

According to MLA style, what is the correct way to identify titles of books in citations?

belka [17]

According to MLA citation style, book titles should be given in italics. A title is enclosed by quotation marks if a text or film piece is part of a larger work. These would include a chapter title, a poem or short story from a published collection, a tv episode, a song title, or a magazing article. Larger, stand-alone works are put in italics. So book titles, movie titles, magazine names, tv series names, album titles. Quotation marks are tiny, while italics affect the entire title; so remember small works = quotation marks, large works = italics

From the tragedy play by William Shakespeare "Romeo and J u li et", Act IV scene v .

The lines given in the question are spoken by the Nurse. Act IV scene v of the play shows the nurse lamenting over the "death" of Jul iet, who had seemingly faked her de ath so that she won't have to marry Paris and betray her already married husband and love Romeo.

The plan was to fake Jul i et's death so that Romeo will steal her corp se and they'll run away to a far place. By taking po is on that'll make her sleep, thus a momentary de ath, she tries to elude the marriage with Paris. It was this scene of the discovery of her death that led the nurse and her family members to mourn her, with Lady Capulet claiming "deat h" is her "son -in - law".

In the novel "The Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Hemingway, there are many images.

Line 9: Image of number 40The repetitive use of the number forty throughout the novel. After 40 days ( which is exactly the duration it took Christ to live again) Manolin's parents decided that "the old man was now and definitely salao, which is the worst form of unlucky" The complete paragraph emphasizes Santiago's being unlucky. For example, "It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his skiff empty."
Line 10: image of old age and eyesAt first, the author shows his main character as defeated and old. He refers to his scars as "old as erosions in a fishless desert". But, there are also images of Santiago's eyes, that in contrast to his old body are shown as " ...they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated".
Line 30: the sea tha main character of the book, Santiago, represents the sea as a woman, "always thought of her as feminine and as something that gave or withheld great favors, and if she did wild or wicked things it was because she could not help them". He feels that he complements himself with the sea ( man and woman intertiwined)
Line 37: a turtleSantiago compares himself to a turtle ( he has worked at a turtle ship before) He says "most people are heartless about turtles because a turtle's heart will beat for hours after he has been cut up and butchered... I have such a heart too and my hands and feet are like theirs"
