Answer:

The excerpt presented allows readers to approach a “forbidden door".

Explanation:

In "Danse Macabre", Stephen King describes how society influences the horror genre. Be it in books, comics, films, etc. He explores the history of the genre and how real life situations are the consequence of that history.

In this case, King is pointing us to a "forbidden door".

"(...) he peered into the darkness."

"(...) he could resolve this mystery. He swung his legs to the floor with conviction."

The character is going into the darnkess to solve that mistery. He is going to cross that "forbidden door".

How would you describe walter mitty's wife?

solong [7]

Walter's wife, known in the story as "Mrs. Mitty," treats Walter like an absent-minded child. She is overbearing, condescending, and critical towards Walter. But she is also Walter's link to the real world. While Walter is off in his own imagination, it is his wife or other people who bring him back to reality. This relationship of Walter's imagination (his escape from reality) and his wife's nagging (in efforts to bring him back to reality) is an uncertain "chicken and the egg" situation. We, readers, don't know if Walter's imagination is what caused his wife to become the practical, reality-based wife that she is or if Walter uses his imagination as an escape from his overbearing wife. Even if we knew which came first (Walter being absent-minded or his wife being condescending), it is just as likely that over the course of their marriage, Walter's and his wife's behaviors fed off of each other; and therefore, who started the whole cycle is somewhat irrelevant.
At the end of the story, when Mrs. Mitty returns from her appointment, Walter says, "Things close in." This is noted as a vague statement but could be interpreted to illustrate how Walter feels about the real world. He feels trapped and therefore resorts to fantasies in order to escape from that trapped feeling. One could sympathize with Mrs. Mitty, knowing that Walter is always absent-minded to the point of being careless. On the other hand, one could sympathize with Walter. Even when Walter tells her he was thinking, a valid excuse, she dismisses it as a fever:
"I was thinking," said Walter Mitty. "Does it ever occur to you that I am sometimes thinking?" She looked at him. "I'm going to take your temperature when I get you home," she said.

Can someone pls make a poem that rhymes that is all im asking

boyakko [2]

Answer:

Life after death :

You only live once so sit back and enjoy

No time for sorrows so fill it up with joy

This way of thinking is totally wrong

Our total existence is forever long

Life is for eternity its stages are four

The first is in the womb, but hold on there's more

The second is from birth until the moment we die

The third takes place in the place where we lie

Barzakh is it's name until judgement day

The fourth is eternity and in heaven we pray!

The soul splits from the body at the time we die

Then with the angel of death, they both will fly

If the person is pious, the angel looks handsome And the wicked will wish, that they could ransom

For the pious, the soul is taken on a piece of silk Eventually, they're in heaven with rivers of milk

The evil person's soul is dragged out with pain Then they know, their life was in vain

When Allaah gives the order, the soul is returned

Either to a bed of paradise, or else to be burned

The soul is returned, while the family are grieving

And then he is questioned while his loved ones are leaving

At that time the person will be in such a state

He is asked three questions which determine his fate

He will be panicking, his heart...full of fear

When he sees the angels, Munkar and Nakeer

He will be asked about his God, religion and what did he say

About the person who appears in front of him that day,

That will be Muhammad (peace be upon him)..

who can save us from hell The pious will recognise him

But others won't tell

After answering rightly they are saved from the ordeal

Of the torments of the grave, which to us seem unreal

Their grave is extended and in peace they stay,

They will praise Allaah and continue to pray

A window of paradise is seen and they sleep in bliss

Whereas the unbelievers grave becomes hell's abyss

Creatures are let loose on their fronts and back

Their graves close in until their ribs will crack

They are in constant agony until judgement day

Nothing will help, it will be too late to pray

They will know because of themselves, their future is wrecked

But they won't have a clue what to further expect

For the believer, it passes like a good night's sleep

His good deeds have been done, the rewards he shall keep

Judgement day will pass like the time for a prayer

At the speed of light he crosses the bridge, thin as a hair And before he knows it, he is in paradise

Whereas the unbeliever, will be paying his price

This life is a journey, death isn't the end

Real life goes on, so don't just pretend

So prepare now, we're not here to stay...

Follow islam, the key is to pray

Brothers and sisters take this advice

I guarantee You'll be proud of yourself, when in paradise!

IN SHAA ALLAAH!!!
