"I Heard a Fly Buzz When I Died"

English
1 answer:
Hitman42 [59]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

In this poem, the irony is that the last thing the author can perceive while waiting for her death is a fly buzzing while waiting for death to come to her.

Explanation:

  As is already known, Emily Dickinson was known for dealing with subjects such as death. The fascination that this author had with the death led her to write great poems that were highly recognized in the environment.

One of them is "I Heard a Fly Buzz When I Died".

While she waits for death, and for the "<em>King</em>" who comes to look for her (which could be interpreted as God), the visit she receives is not from any divinity, but rather from a fly, which ironically represents the opposite of the divine, or to a paradise. The fly is the one that comes to rest on her dead flesh while everyone is there with her waiting for that moment.

Can someone please answer this for me... Which inference can a reader make based on the information in the excerpt? A.) Mr. H. K
kykrilka [37]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Read the excerpt from The Dark Game.

Mr. H. quickly began talking to his contacts in the city.  Soon he heard of a British printer in Mexico City who had  been falsely arrested for printing counterfeit money. Mr.  H. Intervened with the British minister, who got the  frightened printer released from custody and the charges  against him dropped. The printer, overjoyed to be free,  told Mr. H. that he would welcome the opportunity to  repay the agent for his intervention. As a matter of fact,  Mr. H. told him, there was a favor the printer could do for  him

 Which inference can a reader make based on the  information in the excerpt?

A. Mr. H. knew the printer would help them upon release  from prison  B. Mr. H. was very concerned for the falsely imprisoned  printer.  C. Mr. H. and the printer had known each other for a long  time.  D. Mr. H. originally had not intended to employ the  printer's help.

Answer:

A.) Mr. H. Knew the printer would help them upon release in the prison.

Explanation:

In the text above, we can see that Mr. H. needed the services of a printer and when he heard of one who was imprisoned, unfairly, he went to great lengths to free the printer. He did this with second intentions, because if the printer was falsely accused and someone released him, the printer would be very grateful and would not refuse to help that someone out of gratitude.

In other words, we can say that this excerpt shows us that Mr. H. knew that the printer would help them after their release in prison.

All of the following are important reasons to include direct quotations in your writing except __________.
Juli2301 [7.4K]
Quotations add emphasis to ideas, so A is out. If quotations add emphasis to ideas then they also add strong support to claims therefore C is out. Quotations add credibility to writing as well so D is out. Therefore B is the right answer, you would not include direct quotations in a story to add length to a  boring story.
