Sav [38]2 years ago

Answer:

Edgar Allan Poe was the author of many poems and short stories written in the 19th century and was famous as a master of well-crafted tales of horror and mystery. One example of Poe's skill is the classic tale The Tell-Tale Heart (1843), narrated by a terrified and unstable man obsessed with his elderly neighbor's frightening appearance. As the story progresses, the poor fellow becomes so distraught that he finally murders the old man to relieve his fear.

The narrator opens the narrative by addressing the reader, insisting that he is perfectly sane. After all, would a madman plan a task so carefully? Would a madman be calm enough to hide the body so cleverly? His very insistence is the clue to reveal his unhinged state of mind, making the reader approach the telling of the tale already expecting a wild turn of events. Let's take a look at how Poe cleverly uses imagery and symbolism to make the narrative come alive.

iren [92.7K]

Dickens's object of social criticism in this excerpt from Hard Times is that a system of education that treats children like machines. The answer is letter A. It is shown in the novel that the teachers only taught students regarding on the works of the society but did not focus on the emotional context. The only thing that the teachers care about are the results of the input that they gave. If this is not corrected, then the students will bring it to the society. That is why, there is a large gap between the rich and the poor. The rich believes that the poor can make it if they strive harder. What makes it harder is that the poor has to undergone so many things, pain and hardships in other to get to the top and some of them could not even reach there. This is what is wrong in the society.
