Answer:

The best answer to the question: How do these elements forward the plot and establish the atmosphere, would be: it furthers Faulkner´s attempt at creating an ominous aura around the whole story, a sense of suspense and even horror, almost of disgust, towards what is going on in the story.

Explanation:

"A Rose for Emily" is a short story that was written by American author William Faulkner in the 1930´s. The story belongs to the genre of Southern Gothic and it narrates the events in the life of Emily Grierson, a very strange, mysterious woman who seldom mingles with anyone and to whom a lot of strange events happen to. At the beginning Emily´s story is interwoven with that of her father, who keeps her isolated from everyone, but then, the father dies and for a time Emily seems to start coming out of her reclusion. She meets Homer Barron, with whom she falls in love, and who the whole town assumes Emily will be marrying, but in the end, Homer shows that he is not willing to take such a step, and after a while disappears. After that Emily selects absolute reclusion and an aura of decay, of death, almost of destruction and evil, starts to take over not just Emily herself, but her entire home. These gothic elements used by Faulkner: death, the smell of decay, the house that is almost destroyed, the corpse, all of them establish a really ominous aura, a sense of suspense and even horror.

Write an informative essay that explains the importance of perseverance as a quality people need to achieve success. Your essay
Helga [31]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

To write my essay I would like to base my ideas on the section of the attached document called "But they Did not Give Up."

Nothing compares to perseverance.

Most people surrender just before getting to the top. Yes, they do their best for a while, and when they are about to get what they want, they surrender.

Even worst, when they try something and it does not work, they surrender. And if somebody criticizes them or judges them, they never try again.

But the great ones, all of them failed in their first, second, even third time. Buy, what they did have in common? Perseverance. They never surrendered.

The importance of perseverance as a quality people need to achieve success is of the utmost importance in our lives. Things are never easy. They require effort, hard work, commitment, and perseverance.

Winston Churchill was no so good at school. But he never gave in, never. And that made him the great leader he was. Nobody believed in Charles Darwin, even his own father. But he never listened to them and he became the great man of science he was. Albert Einstein's family thought he was "subnormal," and see, he became one of the greatest minds of all times.

So the message is clear. No matter if you have talent or not. Work hard, be disciplined, committed, and never, ever give in.

Andy as a commercial artist saw the art as a combination of designs to create a beauty far from the seriousness.You know in advertisements,we usully dont look for logic. Even nonsense commercials could be attractive for the viewers.
2.Art is entertainment, different from what you see,the dances of images.İt represents nothing special like a concrete message.It appeals to our vision and enjoyment.Art is for popular culture which means for ordinary people.They see and enjoy it and it becomes popular for them.His exhibition of 32 paintings of sour cans is an evidence which shows his art is different from what we think,doesn't give a message or eccentric and funny in a way.Soup cans are ordinary products but they make an art,which is quite interesting.
