Lilliput

Explanation:

In "Gulliver's Travels" we can see that Liliput represents England and the way the writer sees it as England and the English position themselves. Guliver see Lilliputians as full of pride and considering themselves very important, but insignificant compared to the rest of the world.

Based on this excerpt, what can most logically be concluded about Emperor Qian Long's point of view?

velikii [3]

Answer:

Trade with China is an enormous privilege

Explanation:

The Emperor seems to do that because the European States will be in need of what China has, but he does state that it is a signal mark of favour (this word can be defined as: "an act of kindness beyond what is due or usual"). This shows that even though you might consider that the emperor is being kind, he also believes that he is conceiving a privilege to the westerns.

In monkey paw how does the author use foreshadowing to prepare the reader for the events to come? Give Teo examples and explain

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

" The first man had his three wishes. Yes," was the reply. "I don't know what the first two were, but the third was for his death. That's how I got the paw."

A fine crash from the piano greeted his words, broken by a frightened cry from the old man.

See the explanation below to understand the examples of foreshadowing above.

Explanation:

W. W. Jacobs was an English author of short stories born in 1863. In the suspenseful "The Monkey's Paw," he uses elements of horror and fantasy. In the story, a mummified paw brought from India has the power to grant three wishes to three different people. However, the paw's purpose is to show people cannot rule their own lives.

Jacobs uses foreshadowing at several moments in the story. Foreshadowing is a technique in which information is revealed that predicts or indicates what will happen later on in the story. The two examples given above foreshadow that using the paw brings nothing good. The first example is a line spoken by the Sergeant who brought the paw with him. When he says the first man to use the paw used his third wish to die, he is giving us information that helps us predict the bad things to come.

The second example happens when Mr. White, who is now in possession of the paw, makes his first wish. The piano that is being played by his son emits a loud noise, a crash, once he makes his wish. As a matter of fact, this reveals his son will die for his wish to come true.
