Answer: since this has been here for 5 hours, it requires an answer. When Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D., is was given the Title Magna Ignius”, or “The Great Fire”, and there were assorted similar names. Each mountain that “exploded into fire” was given its own name; With this detail, one can infer that at that time, the Romans had a limited understanding of Geology, and did not give these “mountains” A common name, like our “Volcano”. That is the purpose served.

What are some examples of foreshadowing in House Taken Over by Julio Cortazar?
Mandarinka [93]

<u>Explanation:</u>

Remember, the English word foreshadowing refers to a brief detail or scene that shows something that will occur again in the future. Indeed, this was the case in "House Taken Over" by Julio Cortazar.

For example, in the story a foreshadow of a shift in the tone of the story begins when we read about Elvio;

“I went down the corridor as far as the oak door, which was ajar, then turned into the hall toward the kitchen, when <em>I heard something in the library or the dining room. The sound came through muted and indistinct, a chair being knocked over onto the carpet or the muffled buzzing of a conversation...</em>I heard it. ....toward the door. I hurled myself against the door before it was too late and shut it...I ran the great bolt into place, just to be safe.”

Interestingly, from that point on the house became taken over by strange noises. In the end, the siblings been fully frightened left their ancestral home, that is when the true meaning title of the story becomes clearer. Indeed, it became a "House Taken Over".

How does the narrator’s point of view influence how the events are described in the passage?
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

C. The narrator feels shame about what happened but still tries to tell the story in a truthful way.

Explanation:

According to a different source, this question refers to the text "The Man in the Well" by Ira Sher. In this story, we learn about a group of children who find a man in a well, but decide not to help him, and instead, they tease him for days. The narrator tells the story as an adult, and he gives us several hints of the fact that he is embarrassed, such as the fact that he will never go close to the well again. Despite this embarrassment, the author succeeds in telling the story in a truthful way.
