Answer:

Then some of the ladies began to say that it was a disgrace to the town and a bad example

He would never divulge what happened during that interview, but he refused to go back again.

Explanation:

We can infer from Evidence 1 that they are talking about Emily as later on in the text, it mentions Emily. Therefore, this is an indirect statement saying that Emily is a disgrace to the town due to her tough behaviour.

Evidence 2 shows that the Baptist saw something bad as he refuses to go back due to the horror he's seen. Therefore, both statements are inferral based but we can kind of guess from the rest of the text.

Sorry, I'm not sure this makes much sense. It did in my head at least.

galben [10]

Answer:

sorry if this is to many but i have 3 characters starting with Max Durocher Mike Enslin Jennifer Hills

Explanation:

1.

Max Durocher is the main protagonist of the 2004 neo-noir suspense thriller film Collateral.

He is a taxi driver who, after dropping off a lawyer named Annie Farrell, picks up a man named Vincent, who is revealed to be a hitman contracted to assassinate four witnesses and a prosecutor. He then orders Max to drive him to everyone of his targets.  

He is portrayed by Jamie Foxx, who also plays Django Freeman from Django Unchanted and Vincent Dowes from Sleepless.

Personality

Despite being a taxi driver, Max is very intelligent - being able to figure out a lot about people from small details, not unlike Sherlock Holmes. An example of this is when he figures out that Annie is a lawyer due to her dark pinstripe suit, her briefcase and her purse. He implies that he's able to figure out things like this for most of his customers. Nevertheless, Max is still only human, and so his judgement of others isn't always accurate e.g. he doesn't realise that Vincent is a criminal (and a hitman, for that matter) until after he kills his first target, though this is largely because he can't comprehend why someone would kill a person they've never even met before, let alone someone who had never done anything to them.

Max is a very kind and empathetic person who's quick to sympathise with people he's just met. A good example early on is when he gives Annie a treasured photo of a holiday resort that he often looks at for stress relief, as he can tell that she's stressed out because of her job and needs it more than he does. He's also civil with Vincent more often than not even after learning that he's an assassin, to the point that Vincent eventually opens up to him about his troubled past.

However, Max is also rather lazy; he talks frequently about how his work as a taxi driver is only temporary, and one day he will open his own limousine business. Despite this, at the start of the film, he has never even taken the basic steps towards that goal, such as saving money. Vincent calls him out for this, saying that if he keeps going on the way he's been going, he'll wake up old one day and what he wants will have never happened, because he was never going to do it anyway.

2. Mike Enslin is the author of the successful Ten Nights in Ten Haunted... series. He appears in the short story 1408 and its film adaptation, where he is portrayed by John Cusack.

1408

Once a smoker, Enslin quit after his brother died of lung cancer. However, he does carry a cigarette around everywhere he goes by placing it above his ear, just in case a nuclear bomb should be dropped, so he could enjoy one last smoke. Enslin is a skeptic on ghosts, but nonetheless pretends to believe so he can stay in supposedly haunted places and make a bunch of money by writing the lucrative Ten Nights in Ten Haunted.... book series.

He retired from writing after a harrowing encounter in room 1408 of the Hotel Dolphin, traumatized by the supernatural experience.

Jennifer Hills is the main protagonist from the I Spit on Your Grave remake series. She appears on both I Spit On Your Grave and I Spit On Your Grave III: Vengeance Is Mine.

in a well-written response, analyze how perkins gilman uses literary elements and techniques to convey the ways in which the nar
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Gilman expresses her feelings about the role women had in society at the time using the literary form of allegory. Allegorizing her own challenges, she demonstrates how she chose art [writing] over difficult experiences with women.

Gilman conveys the woman's mental state through a variety of literary strategies. Personification, imagery, and similes are a few of these. Additionally, she employs terms with unfavorable meanings like fungus, destroy, and lurid. Gilman refers to the wallpaper most frequently in figurative language.

The wallpaper unmistakably stands in for the narrator's imprisoning structures of family, medicine, and tradition. Wallpaper is a lowly and domestic material, and Gilman deftly employs this nightmare-inducing paper as a representation of the household existence that ensnares so many women.
