Answer:

The main purpose or role of the alliteration in lines 5–7 of “Magic Island" is to create rhythm and help the reader to visualize and remember the descriptions.

Explanation:

Alliteration refers to the occurrence of the same letter or sound in a group of words that are close to each other in a line of poetry or text. In lines 5-7 of Magic Island, the following alliterations occur;

waves of wind

catches a kite

keeps it there.

These words sound alike thus, forming a rhythm that sounds nice to the ears. The rhythm thus formed will help the reader to always remember the description as well as visualize the word pictures.

In the diagram of the five-paragraph essay, what do the two arrows indicate?
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

A. the positions of the thesis statement

Explanation:

  What mainly gives it away for me is the arrow at the bottom of the triangle near the top. You <em>usually</em> want to end your topic paragraph with your thesis. Then, you restate it in the beginning of your conclusion followed by a summary and finishing up your essay in the last paragraph.

Let us look at the other options.

     B. the positions of the hook sentences

-> Why would you want to hook your readers at the end of your intro paragraph, or even at the end of your essay? This option doesn't make sense.

     C. the positions of the topic sentences

-> This is another good option, but the topic statement is very similar to the thesis, but they are usually the start of your <em>body</em> paragraphs.

     D. the positions of the introductions

-> Why would you have an introduction at the end of your paragraph? This option also doesn't make sense.

Have a nice day!

     I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly.

The masque of the red death is an allegorical story filled with symbolism. what do the seven rooms in the palace symbolize?
lara [203]
There's m,any theories as to what the seven rooms symbolize but here are two popular ones. The rooms symbolize the seven stages of life from birth to death or that the rooms symbolize the seven levels of Hell. Take your pick, you can probably argue better for the first one, though. Each color has significance to the stage of life it represents, I can't remember all the different colors, but you get the idea.
