Based on this excerpt from Edgar Allan Poe’s “Fall of the House of Usher,” what is the best location for the House of Usher?
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

on a deserted or isolated place

Explanation:

<u>The expert paints the picture of some empty, wistful place in the deserted countryside. </u>

It mentioned it was a “dull, dark and soundless” day, <u>which tells us there were no people around as there is no sound made by them.</u> This gives us the clue it is an isolated place, far from any crowded settlement.

The line that mentioned author passed through the “singularly dreary tract of country” <u>tells us it is in the empty, depressing countryside that has a gloomy aura.</u> There is no mention of people or anyone around, no mention of other buildings. <u>The passage suggests, therefore, the place is detached from the cluster, unusual and lifeless.</u>

How is Rosa Bonheur and Michelle Obama alike
Gala2k [10]

The only similarities are their support of LGBT rights. In the case of Bonheur, she was a European, French painter that was openly and unapologetically lesbian and who refused to be told what to do by the patriarchal society of her day. She wore men’s clothes and also engaged in traditionally male activities such as hunting and smoking. She openly lived with her lesbian partner for 40 years and was extremely public and outspoken about her lesbianism. Her uncompromising stance helped French lesbians begin to assert themselves in society and to demand certain rights, which was revolutionary for the times.

In the case of Michelle Obama, she was the heterosexual First lady of POTUS Barack Obama during his presidency and she openly supported same-sex marriage rights in 2012. During her national military families initiative, she selected openly homosexual military members.

Read the excerpt below and answer the question. Why wert thou not a creature wanting soul? (scene 14, line 66) The literary devi
patriot [66]

alliteration

The line has the /w/ sound repeated three times. Alliteration is the repetition of the same sound within a group of words. A simile is a comparison using like or as. The line does not have either like or as. An echo is when the end of a line or stanza is repeated like an echo. This is not the case either. The line also does not have personification (the giving of human-like traits to a non-human thing).
