This is for “the tell-tales heart”

Answer: I have briefly read the book but here is my answer:

Explanation:I think that it is because the old mans heart beats were the reason of the narrators breakdown. They were pressuring the narrator to tell the truth. It was almost as if the old man was still alive persuading the narrator to tell the truth, but the old man didn’t need to do that. He only needed the narrators anxiety issues to do that. Between the eye, the anxiety, the heart beat, even the police, the narrator felt trapped in his own web that has been weaved every time be even looked at the old man. This story is about anxiety, remorse, sadness, guilt. The old man didn’t need to tell on the narrator. The narrator did that himself. In conclusion, it’s called “the tell-tales heart” because it was the heart that told on the narrator to the police, at least not directly. When we think of tell-tale, we think of someone who tells on people and exposes them, that is exactly what the heart did, but he did it in a way that would guilt and posses the narrator to do it himself. The purpose of the story is that no matter how much you try to run away, it will always catch up to you, whether it’s guilt, your past, your enemies. At one point you have to face it, before it’s too late.

Hope this helps!

If you say to your significant other, "I see you didn't put gas in my car after borrowing it", the relationship level of meaning
Sati [7]

Answer:

- You don't respect me .

- You are too lazy to refill the gas tank.

Explanation:

'Relationship level of meaning' is associated with the connotative meaning which is intended to be displayed by the speaker which is contrary to the content level meaning that reflects the literal or explicit meaning of the message. 'Relationship level' of meaning reflects the type of relationship shared by two people.

According to the description given, the relationship level of meaning would involve 'you don't respect me' and 'You are too lazy to refill the gas tank' which implies that the speaker shows his/her authority(implied by 'you don't respect me') and at the same time, the remarks('you are too lazy..') reflect that he well knows the person he/she is communicating with. This implies that the two share a positive bond.

Les - How do these lines from Eliot's poem make reference to Chaucer's verse, while at the same time making the exact opposite
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Both commemorate April, but Eliot is negative about April while Chaucer is

positive

Explanation:

Geoffrey Chaucer's (1343-1400) "The Canterbury Tales" (Prologue) starts by mentioning April positively in a sense that in the month of April rain waters the dry ground  (from March) to water flowers' roots. At this happy time people are in good mood, and they want to go on religious pilgrimages.

<em>"Whan that Aprille with his shoures sote </em>

<em>The droghte of Marche hath perced to the rote, </em>

<em>And bathed every veyne in swich licour, </em>

<em>Of which vertu engendred is the flour;"</em>

However T.S Eliot (1888-1965) starts his masterpiece poem "The Waste Land" (1922) by mentioning April negatively by saying;

<em>"APRIL is the cruellest month, breeding </em>

<em>Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing </em>

<em>Memory and desire, stirring </em>

<em>Dull roots with spring rain. </em>

<em>Winter kept us warm, covering </em>

<em>Earth in forgetful snow, feeding </em>

<em>A little life with dried tubers"</em>

Presenting a single or definite interpretation of Waste Land would be injustice to this poem. But in simple words, Eliot means to say that April is the cruelest of the months because life has to come out of its comfort zone (hibernation and sleeping) in winter. April is also cruel because its flowers, rains stir a past memory and create a longing for the past.
