What word best describes the tone of this excerpt from "The Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allan Poe? I looked upon the sc

ene before me—upon the mere house, and the simple landscape features of the domain—upon the bleak walls—upon the vacant eye-like windows—upon a few rank sedges—and upon a few white trunks of decayed trees—with an utter depression of soul which I can compare to no earthly sensation more properly than to the after-dream of the reveller upon opium—the bitter lapse into everyday life—the hideous dropping off of the veil. There was an iciness, a sinking, a sickening of the heart—an unredeemed dreariness of thought which no goading of the imagination could torture into aught of the sublime. What was it—I paused to think—what was it that so unnerved me in the contemplation of the House of Usher? It was a mystery all insoluble; nor could I grapple with the shadowy fancies that crowded upon me as I pondered. I was forced to fall back upon the unsatisfactory conclusion, that while, beyond doubt, there are combinations of very simple natural objects which have the power of thus affecting us, still the analysis of this power lies among considerations beyond our depth. It was possible, I reflected, that a mere different arrangement of the particulars of the scene, of the details of the picture, would be sufficient to modify, or perhaps to annihilate its capacity for sorrowful impression; and, acting upon this idea, I reined my horse to the precipitous brink of a black and lurid tarn that lay in unruffled lustre by the dwelling, and gazed down—but with a shudder even more thrilling than before—upon the remodelled and inverted images of the gray sedge, and the ghastly tree-stems, and the vacant and eye-like windows. admiration terror hope discovery loss

<span>The answer is terror. Based from the images created by the author, the setting and description of the house is very dark. The image of the house is gloomy and that the people are very scared of its ambience. Based from the poem itself, the characters which is the narator and Roderick were very much afraid of the house. They believe that there is something that is haunting it.</span>

The answer is D: Discovery Even the first sentence said "I LOOKED upon the scene before me." Which immediately gives evidence of discovery.

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

I would go for Harry Potter

Explanation:

It would be 2020 and I think that Harry would be potion master like Snape and he created a potion to cure Coronavirus for everyone and the whole world would be saved but Harry went in disguise for this as Dr. Jason Garrison and was able to save the world and then plot Dr. Jason's own death and the world would go back to normal as himself and Coronavirus would be gone for good. And he would sell it under the name Pots and Bells Medical Care, in Diagon Alley to wizards making medical potions for a living, and then later on he becomes the potion's teacher at Hogwarts.

Please help<br><br> Write a six word memoir about yourself
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

This question requires a personal answer since you have to write about yourself. I will give you an explanation that will help you with this question.

Explanation:

 To start, we should define what a Six-Word Memoir is. As its name implies, it contains only six words.

When we are forced to use so few words, to describe ourselves we will have to look for the most precise information, what we consider most important.

This serves as an introduction for someone else to want to know more about our history.

Let's look at some examples of recognized Six-Word Memoirs:

<em />

  • <em>School geek married a luscious cheerleader. —Christopher Clukey </em>
  • <em>Half Jewish. Half Italian. Totally stuffed. —Dave Cirilli </em>
  • <em>He hugged some trees, then burned them. —Tom Price</em>
