From the porch, the cabin looked as quaint and rustic as the website had promised. I hoisted my duffel to my hip, unlocked the d

oor with the key I’d been sent, and stepped into the warm air of the mountain home. The floorboards creaked a welcome as I investigated. I admired the piney living room, noting the stone hearth and the dappled afternoon light on the walls. Then I made my way toward the sole bedroom at the end of the hall. I glanced at the eyelet bedcover, the mantle clock, and the antique mirror. Wait. I glanced again at the mirror and impulsively brushed my hair from my eyes, balking at the coloring of the wayward wisps. How could it be? My hand touched my skin—the image I faced was a much older version of myself. I backed away, watching my wrinkled face retreat. I tripped on the doorjamb, stubbed my toe on an errant nail, and nearly toppled over my own luggage as I lunged for the door. What technique does the author use to build suspense in the excerpt?

The author uses very vague and mysterious phrases such as "as the website had promised" and " unlock the door with the key I had been sent.". Because he doesn't reveal who or what sent him/ brought him to that home, we question why he is there and what is going to happen next (Good or Bad). This can be seen in movies too. Typically writers will leave out key information to make us think and wonder. Hope that helped! :))

Next, you’ll compare the speeches by Lewis and Lincoln. Begin by recording each author’s purpose, audience, and overall message
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

It is rather for us, the living, we here be dedicated to the

great task remaining before us —that, from these

honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause

for which they here, gave the last full measure of

devotion—that we here highly resolve these dead shall

not have died in vain; that the nation, shall have a new

birth of freedom, and that government of the people by

the people for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate---we can not consecrate---

we can not hallow---this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who

struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add

or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say

here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living,

rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who

fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be

here dedicated to the great task remaining before us---that from

these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for

which they gave the last full measure of devotion---that we here

highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain---that this

nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom---and that

government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not

perish from the earth.

Thank You

What’s a thesis statement for a windstorm in the forest
IceJOKER [234]
A good one is In A Wind Storm in the Forests, John Muir uses descriptive language to bring out the full beauty of the winds. He does this by appealing to the senses. Particularly, sight and sound are emphasized in this passage. He attempts to make the readers truly appreciate the subtle miracles present when the winds are at play.

Why do you think Annie Dillard read The Field Book of Ponds and Streams so many times
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Annie Dillard read the book 'The Field Book of Ponds and Streams' so  many times as she found what she herself did not know she was looking for, the essential tools for naturalist trade.

Explanation:

"An American Childhood" is a memoir of Annie Billard. She wrote about her childhood and her high school days in the book.

In her book, she conveyed the message that how books help people to connect with each other emotionally as well as mentally. As Annie was an earnest reader, so when she was twelve years old, she enrolled herself in the nearest library, in Homewood. In that library, she found the book titled "The Field Book of Ponds and Streams."

<u>She states that she read it several times especially chapter 3 of the book, which explains the essential tools for naturalist trade. Till she read that chapter, she herself was unaware of what she was looking for. The book unveiled to her many words of water and the life of insects. </u>

<u>She used to read the book every year and used to go through the list of names of people who borrowed that book to know that there are other people like her who are eager to find out about the 'ponds' and 'streams.'</u>
