English

Olegator [25]3 years ago

This question seems to be incomplete. However, there is enough information to find the right answer.

Answer: Pearl notices that the scarlet letter on her mother's bosom has paved the way for lack of sunshine in her mother´s lie.

Explanation:

The question refers to The Scarlet Letter: A Romance (1850), by Nathaniel Hawthorne.

In the provided excerpt, Pearl notices that the sun seems to dislike her mother because of the scarlet letter on her bosom. Pearls comment about how that doesn´t happen to her because she doesn't have the scarlet letter yet implies that she thinks she will when she grows up to be an adult woman.

This means that she doesn´t think that the scarlet letter is unique to her mother, but something she will also get when she grows up. And she doesn´t admire her mother for it, as she dislikes how the sun runs away from her.

Pearl´s words imply that she, who is usually aware of things that others can´t see, has realized that the lack of sunshine in her mother’s life is caused by the scarlet letter on her bosom.

kati45 [8]

Answer:

In chapter eleven, the children are waiting in the Witch's castle for her to return and turn them into stone. They are very scared and when they hear her coming, they all hide. The Witch comes in and cannot find them, so she gets angry and turns a man into a statue. She then leaves the room and the children come out of hiding.

In chapter twelve, the Witch is getting ready to go out and she tells her servants to keep an eye on the children. She also tells them to bring the children to her if they try to leave. The children are then left alone and they start to explore the castle. They find a room full of books and they also find a room with a window that looks out onto a courtyard.

In chapter thirteen, the children are playing in the courtyard when they see the Witch coming. They all hide again, but the Witch finds Lucy. She is about to turn her into a statue when Aslan appears. The Witch is terrified of Aslan and she runs away. Aslan then talks to the children and he tells them that they are going to be free.

In chapter fourteen, the children are taken to a cave where they meet the White Witch. She is very old and she is dying. Aslan tells the children that they must forgive her, and they do. The Witch then dies and Aslan takes her body away.

In chapter fifteen, the children are back in the forest and they are waiting for Aslan to come and take them home. He does not come and they start to worry. Suddenly, they hear his voice and they follow it. Aslan is waiting for them at the edge of the forest and he takes them home.

In three to four sentences, describe how Poe uses imagery and sound devices to create mood in "The Raven.
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
Sample Response: <span>Poe uses images that appeal to the senses of sound, sight, and touch. At first, these images create a gloomy, mysterious, and tense mood. Then, the mood becomes haunting. Sound devices, such as the repetition of the name “Lenore” and its constant rhyming with “nevermore,” create a slow, haunting sound that further contributes to the spooky mood.</span>
