When a protagonist has a strong belief against the majority of the community or surroundings and decides to act on it
Answer:
Taken from the ending part of the short story "The Black cat" by Edgar Allen Poe, the lines tell of the alcoholic protagonist's happiness in finding that the cat responsible for the incidental murder of his wife is nowhere to be seen in his house anymore.
Explanation:
Edgar Allen Poe's short story "The Black Cat" tells the story of an unnamed protagonist who is an alcoholic. His drunken act of killing his pet cat Pluto and then later on even his accidental murder of his wife leads to the situation he is in the start of he story- convicted to death.
The given excerpt is form the ending part of the story where he had successfully walled in his wife's corpse. He could't find the cat, he second pet cat, who had been the initial cause of the act. The lines show just how relieved he was to see that he could no longer find "<em>the monster</em>" in is house. But with this admission, he seems to be implying that he was free of the moral obligations in he society in general. This speech gave him he all clear in the murderous act, but which will in fact, return to haunt him and bring him to justice.
its the last one because a metaphor describes two unlike things without using like or as and thats the only answer that does this.
Your answer is personification :)
I was just sitting there listening the radio as my step dad mumbled under his breath tapping his thumbs on the steering wheel to the beat of the music. He never has been this irritated in his life. I could see his anger as if it were visible just from his side profile. We've been driving straight for hours its pitch dark all there is open road upon open road. My feet were damp and cold, the uncomfortableness adds to this heavy discomfort in the car. As a kid when I really messed up he never would get this frustrated. I wonder if he knows what I did...no he couldnt its impossible. 20 minutes passed still driving straight foreword. The radio keeps playing the same top 10 songs and the same commercials I've already learned by heart. His hand reached over and turns it off. He starts to say something then stops. "I-I cant believe you and your mother," he says. What what does that mean? What did my mother and I do? I thought.
That's all I have.
