by Jack Finney

How does the author make the eight minutes seem like hours?

Using context clues, what is meant by “lighted rectangles"?

It might seem like hours, but his cigarette is still lit and his watch lets him know that his wife has been gon only eight minutes.

Answer:

a strong opinion is presented to appeal to the reader's sense of justice

Explanation:

According to the excerpt from "Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry.", the narrator described the joys and advantages of reading as they give enlightenment and that everyone should be encouraged to read because it is the first step to success.

He however decries the attempt to censor what people are able to read by some people who feel they know what is best for others.

The best description of the rhetoric used in this excerpt to increase the reader's awareness of censorship is a strong opinion is presented to appeal to the reader's sense of justice.

What is the setting of fire and ice by Robert frost
77julia77 [94]
There isn't much of a conventional setting in this poem, unless you consider the vague concept of "apocalypse" or the "end of the world" to be a setting.

but, "fire and Ice" starts off with two images of the end of the world. In the first image, the world is a great bubbling mess of fire, lava, and explosions. cities are melting and trees are burning. In the second vision, the world is an ice cube/a ice sphere. a extremely large cloud looms above the earth, and temperatures are so low that life cannot survive.

from there we move to a discussion from the speaker- we now have the image of him "tasting" desire, like Eve biting into the fateful apple in the Garden of Eden. then he rewinds the end of the world somehow, as if this were a film.

In the second apocalypse, things run different. Ice carries the day, driven by the hatred of people.
