The following excerpt from Anton Chekhov's The Proposal is a monologue. Which two statements can best help to distinguish this e

xcerpt as a monologue?
LOMOV: It's cold . . . I'm trembling all over, just as if I'd got an examination before me. The great thing is, I must have my mind made up. If I give myself time to think, to hesitate, to talk a lot, to look for an ideal, or for real love, then I'll never get married. . . . Brr! . . . It's cold! Natalya Stepanovna is an excellent housekeeper, not bad-looking, well-educated. . . .What more do I want? But I'm getting a noise in my ears from excitement. [Drinks] And it's impossible for me not to marry. . . . In the first place, I'm already 35—a critical age, so to speak. In the second place, I ought to lead a quiet and regular life. . . .I suffer from palpitations, I'm excitable and always getting awfully upset. . . .At this very moment my lips are trembling, and there's a twitch in my right eyebrow. . . . But the very worst of all is the way I sleep. I no sooner get into bed and begin to go off when suddenly something in my left side—gives a pull, and I can feel it in my shoulder and head. . . . I jump up like a lunatic, walk about a bit, and lie down again, but as soon as I begin to get off to sleep there's another pull! And this may happen twenty times. . . .

The two statements which can best help to distinguish the excerpt as a monologue are the following ones:

1- " If I give myself time to think..."

2- "What more do I want?"

In both sentences, there are unusual language constructions, that is, they do not occur as frequently as other ones. In the first sentence, there is the reflexive pronoun "myself", and that is a sign of reflection, of one being talking about oneself. The second sentence is interrogative, and the subject is first person singular, which means the speaker is asking questions about himself. Both sentences could also have taken place in a non-monologue situation, but they are surely the ones that best distinguish the excerpt as a monologue, since they are completely self-centered.

Answer:

1.I believe the story about friendship refers to how you may drift apart due to differences, but if the friendship is meant to be then they will find their way back to each other.

2. The theme is revealed when Victor finds out his dad has passed and he doesn't have enough money to retrieve his fathers items. Thomas graciously offers him money so that he could get the last memories of his father.

3."Just onetime when i'm telling a story somewhere, why don't you just stop and listen?" Thomas asked.

"Just once?"

"Just once."

this shows the theme because Victor is no longer ashamed to be around Thomas and is ready to start a new relationship with him.

4. I have not read any other works with similar themes, or employ language, images, symbols.

Explanation:

I've read the story

What is the message conveyed in the song lyrics the crown?​
bija089 [108]

Answer:

The message is that everyone, both black and white has made some impart in life and thus wears a crown and was worthy of recognition.

Explanation:

In "The Crown," by Gary Byrd and Stevie Wonder, the history of humanity was traced to ancient Egypt and the Kings that ruled such as King Tut. These people made wonderful achievements in science and astronomy and how also built the pyramids. The song also talked about the origin of its writer. He came from a race that fought for their freedom and suffered in the hands of groups like the Ku Klux Klan. That is the black race.

He recognized the contribution of the black race to life. They first arrived the shores of America some 2,000 years before Columbus. Summarily, the song recognizes that we all have contributed to life in one way or the other, and as such, we all wear the crown.
