Answer:

I drove my weight on it from above and bored it home like a shipwright bores his beam with a shipwright’s drill that men below, whipping the strap back and forth, whirl and the drill keeps twisting, never stopping –So we seized our stake with it fiery tip and bored it round and round in the giant’s eye. its crackling roots blazed and hissed - as a blacksmith plunges a glowing ax or adze in an ice-cold bath and the metal screeches steam and its temper hardens - that’s the iron’s strength - so the eye of Cyclops sizzled round that stake. Her mind in torment, wheeling like some lion at bay, dreading the gangs of hunters closing their cunning ring around him for the finish."

Explanation: Odysseus gives a descriptive account of how he defeats the Cyclops Polyphemus. Because he is speaking to the Phaecians, a sea-faring people, they would understand the comparison to a shipwright’s drill. : Odysseus compares the sizzling sound of the Cyclops’ eye to that of sticking fire-hot metal in cold water.  Penelope expresses her feeling of helplessness by comparing the suitors to hunters and herself to a trapped lion. The lion reference shows she still considers herself noble.

Answer:

I would say that these lines from Edgar Allan Poe's <em>The Fall of the House of Usher</em> evoke a sense of <em>melancholy</em> in the reader.

Explanation:

Those lines describe a silent, grey moment when the speaker feels lonely, full of thoughts and shades from the past. The speaker is overwhelmed by those feelings and when seeing the House of Usher, he feels a painful gloom invading his soul. The whole excerpt transmit a sense of heavy melancholy in the reader.

strojnjashka [21]

Hello. You did not say what text this question refers to, which makes it impossible for your question to be answered efficiently and specifically. However, to try to help you, I will show you what an argument is and how are the rhetorical appeals that can be used in one. This can guide you in finding the correct answer.

An argument is a position on a theme, where the author demonstrates what he thinks about something or how he understands how such things happen. In addition to presenting a position, the argument presents evidence that provides veracity to the position, showing how it is real and relevant.

To enhance the argument and make it more powerful, rhetorical appeals can be used. These appeals are ethos (which refers to ethics), logos (which refers to logic) and pathos (which refers to emotions and feelings), which are used in sentences to strengthen an important point of the argument and to converge the audience.
