Fall of the House of Usher, excerpt

English
1 answer:
pentagon [3]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Ghastly pallor of the skin

Explanation:

The narrator states that when he saw Usher, he was startled by his appearance, because in addition to having his hair disheveled and his face down, he presented "Ghastly pallor of the skin" which was one of the main reasons that made the narrator so uncomfortable with what I was seeing. We can see, then, that Usher was not in good health, both mentally and physically.

"Fall of the House of Usher" is a short story written by Edgar Alan Poe and tells how Usher's house was languishing just like him, presenting a terrifying, hideous, evil and uncomfortable atmosphere and appearance.

Who are the "friends on shore" in the line "Good-night to all my friends on shore"?
Travka [436]

Answer:

A.  People who are awake when the speaker sleeps.

Explanation:

The poem "My Bed is a Boat" by Robert Louis Stevenson is a four-lined four-stanza poem that describes the very childlike scene for a child to sleep. Describing his bed as a boat, he fantasizes that sleeping is like sailing on a journey, which is a rather exciting way for a child to view sleep.

This children poetry simplifies the theme of sleeping and captures the childish nature of how sleep can be imagined as. The narrator of the poem is a small child who looks forward to sailing. He begins the poem by saying that "My bed is like a little boat; Nurse helps me in when I embark; She girds me in my sailor's coat And starts me in the dark." This childhood imagination of the very act of sleeping makes it more fun and exciting unlike the ordinary way of putting a child to bed. The second stanza reads "At night I go on board and say Good-night to all my friends on shore" which might be suggestive of the child bidding goodnight to those who are still awake. Children go to sleep before the adults so, the child narrator may have been talking about the adults who are still awake when he had to go to sleep.

Which sentence contains an unclear, a missing, or a confusing antecedent?
svetlana [45]

D.  When you and your friends hear this recording, it will be exciting.


An antecedent, by definition, is a word or a phrase that is referred to by an element that follows it in the same sentence or paragraph, typically.  When we look at item “D,” we are left with the question: “What will be exciting?”  Because “it” could be anything, it is safe to say that the antecedent is missing.

2. As you reread lines 1-9 make notes in the margin about Kathleen's question,
kotegsom [21]

Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question is related, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

To answer this question, you must first read the entire text and reread the lines 1-9 where Kathleen's question is presented. After understanding her question, you should make notes about why she asked that question, how deep the question is, and how important it is for Kathleen. Then, you must analyze whether the narrator is effective in answering that question, if so, you must show why. If the narrator is not effective, you should also explain why and come up with a more appropriate answer suggestion. Finally, you must show why the speaker wants to explain the answer a little more and how it would affect the question.
