7 0

Answer:

She claims that the Empire State Building still has poetry beneath its surface, and it´s a source of inspiration, something beautiful and spiritual.

Explanation:

When asked about what he "saw" from the top of the then newly-opened, Hellen Keller, who was famously both deaf and blind since she was a child, wrote a letter (1932) describing her experience. There, she deems those who see the building as a symbol of American Materialism and vanity to be cynics and supersensitive souls, unable to appreciate the beauty of the building and how it symbolizes the efforts put into constructing it.

1. How does Fitzgerald's use of color create a particular effect
kirill [66]

Fitzgerald uses white to represent purity and innocence and the figures of speech give the passage a light mood along with the image of floating girls.

<h3>Analyzing the passage from "The Great Gatsby"</h3>

We can develop the answer and analyze the passage as follows:

  1. Fitzgerald uses color to represent different feelings. In the passage, he uses white to convey a sense of purity and innocence, as if the narrator is entering heaven.
  2. He uses simile in "like pale flags" and metaphor in "the frosted-cake of the ceiling." "The whip and snap of the curtains" is an onomatopoeia, representing sound. Such figures of speech give the passage a light and vivacious mood.
  3. One image that is quite appealing is that of the girls being balloons, floating around the house and then slowly coming back to the floor. This image conveys a sense of joy and wonder, as if there is something magical about those girls.
  4. A sound that would fit the situation is "whoosh" because of the wind coming in through the windows and moving everything around the room.

In Frankenstein what deaths is Victor responsible for and why?
masha68 [24]

Answer:

Victor is responsible for William's death

Victor definitely considered himself responsible for their deaths. He carried a heavy weight of guilt on his shoulders for the deaths and so much so that he made himself sick. I believe that one of the driving forces in Victor's pursuit to kill the monster was guilt, along with anger and grief.
