Fall of the House of Usher, excerpt
By Edgar Allan Poe
The room in which I found myself was very large and lofty. The windows were long, narrow, and pointed, and at so vast a distance from the black oaken floor as to be altogether inaccessible from within. Feeble gleams of encrimsoned light made their way through the trellised panes, and served to render sufficiently distinct the more prominent objects around; the eye, however, struggled in vain to reach the remoter angles of the chamber, or the recesses of the vaulted and fretted ceiling. Dark draperies hung upon the walls. The general furniture was profuse, comfortless, antique, and tattered. Many books and musical instruments lay scattered about, but failed to give any vitality to the scene. I felt that I breathed an atmosphere of sorrow. An air of stern, deep, and irredeemable gloom hung over and pervaded all.
Read these lines from the text:
Dark draperies hung upon the walls. The general furniture was profuse, comfortless, antique, and tattered. Many books and musical instruments lay scattered about, but failed to give any vitality to the scene.
Which of the following best summarizes the main message of these lines?

Answers

Answer 1

The main message of these lines is that the room in which the narrator finds himself is a dark, gloomy, and uninviting place.

The description of the "dark draperies" hanging on the walls and the "profuse, comfortless, antique, and tattered" furniture creates a sense of decay and neglect.

The presence of books and musical instruments scattered throughout the room adds to the sense of disarray and adds to the overall feeling of melancholy that pervades the scene. The narrator describes feeling as though they are breathing an atmosphere of sorrow, and an air of "stern, deep, and irredeemable gloom" hangs over the entire room. These lines establish the mood and tone of the story and set the stage for the events that will unfold.

4. Hike the Appalachian Trail is exploring the Panama Canal and the Mississippi ford.

Explanation:

I have been able to show the four rhetorical devices used in the given passage.

Parallelism is the use of a particular grammatical structure in a sentence. We see it in the line: "We all should have our say in the political leaders we elect: the young student and the old retiree; the struggling worker and the wealthy businessman."

Anaphora is the rhetorical device that repeats a word or phrase in a sentence at the beginning of successive classes.

It is seen in the line:  "It is a privilege, it is a right, it is a duty."

Alliteration is the rhetorical device that repeats the same letter or sound at the beginning of words that adjacent or closely connected.

It is seen in the line: "You must vote! If you love your country, you must vote. If you believe that your country can be better, you must vote."

Epiphora is the rhetorical device that repeats a word or phrase at the end of  successive clauses.

It is seen in the line: "You must vote! If you love your country, you must vote. If you believe that your country can be better, you must vote."

Three historical facts on gold mining in barberton makhonjwa​

Answers

Answer:

Barberton Gold Mines. Of the multitude of gold mines discovered and worked in the late 1880s, four are still being mined. They are Agnes (Company: African Pioneer Mining) New Consort, Fairview and Sheba collectively known as Barberton Mines.

SHEBA GOLD MINE

One of the first discoveries in the Sheba valley was the "Nil Desperandum Lode". While prospecting downstream from the Nil Desperandum Lode, Edward Bray (1824-1887) discovered the rich Golden Quarry which yielded 8 oz of gold per ton in a trial crushing. This led to intense prospecting and mining activity in the vicinity and numerous companies were formed.

 AGNES GOLD MINE

Jack Greaves was a prospector from the UK and discovered gold here in 1888. The mine is named after his wife Jessie Agnes. The Jessievale plantation. 40 km south-east of Carolina, is also named after her. He sold the mine for 1000 pounds to A J Knuckley who later sold it to Rowe and Gibson.  

FAIRVIEW GOLD MINE

Numerous individual mines operated within the confines of the Fairview property. One of the earliest producers from this area was the Kidson Reef Gold Mining Company Limited, formed in 1887. Fairview today, is the only gold mine in South Africa that has a box plant to extract gold.

Elizabeth is described as being heavenly, almost angelic as a child. We know that she is destined to be married to Victor, whom we also know to be quite troubled from Walton’s letters. Because of this contrast, do you think their relationship will flourish or falter?

Answers

Answer:

It is said that opposites attract, so I think that their relationship will flourish.

Explanation:

The best prediction about the relationship between Victor and Elizabeth is that it would have not gone well due to Victor's interest in science.

What is Prediction?

This is the use of words to make forecasts of the future events that are still yet to come.

Hence, we can note that because Elizabeth is described as being an angelic person and Victor is described as being self-centered and troubled who is engrossed in work, then their relationship would have not gone well due to Victor's interest in science.

Explanation:

"The Rose that Grew from Concrete," by Tupac Shakur, provides a vivid description of a rose flower that grew despite its unfavorable environment. It is common knowledge that plants need the right soil, manure, water and light to grow. But the rose in Shakur's poem grew from concrete! This means that it survived despite all odds.

Applying this to humans, we see that the poet gives hope that people can rise above their challenges and succeed. The natural belief that we always need people to succeed is not true because the rose learned to walk without having feet.

In the text, the author claims that the Hero's Journey requires a main character who
is the hero. Do you think any main character can be the hero? Why or why not? What
makes an ideal fictional hero for you? Who is your favorite fictional hero and why?

Answers

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

A main character can have any morality whether that be good or bad. Hero's journey is a template for writing a story as such, but it's an informal fallacy to say all main characters are heros.

An ideal fictional hero would be one who has relatable qualities and isn't a 'dues ex machina'. One who makes it out alive just because. I prefer one who works hard to achieve their goals in selfless acts.

Guts from berserk personally is my favorite hero. He starts off his hero's journey as a knight/sword for hire without a purpose and slowly finds his purpose when forced to join a mercenary group known as the band of the hawk. It's interesting because for once, we see a character find his reason for his existence rather than have one in place for him.

A Hero is the main fictional character who battles difficult situation through courage and strength in the face of danger.

Who is a main character?

A main character is the important character in the story that the story centers around.

He could be a good or a bad character.

Any main character can be a hero, it does not matter if he is bad or good.  A hero is the main fictional character and so a main character can be a hero.

A main character may not be a hero because he may need to contend with the hero of a fiction if he is a bad character.

A fictional hero/ character is an imaginary person represented in a work of fiction which attributes him to being a hero.

What happens at the bazaar in “Araby”? Choose two options

Answers

The bazaar is a much-anticipated event for the young narrator of James Joyce's short tale "Araby," who has a crush on a girl he intends to impress with a gift from the bazaar. The narrator feels eager and anticipatory as he thinks about the wonders the bazaar will hold for him.

What is the purpose of the bazaar?

Tube socks, velvet paintings, and corn on the cob are just a few of the strange items you may find in a bazaar, which is a market with endless rows of tiny businesses selling them. Bazaar is a Persian word that originally meant "marketplace" and is used throughout the Middle East.

It is possible to interpret the narrator's experience at the bazaar as a metaphor for his own maturation and his coming to terms with the fact that the world is full of disappointment and disillusionment. The narrator's hopes and dreams are represented by the bazaar, while the harsh truths of the outside world are reflected in the market's reality.

The narrator gains the ability to control his expectations and approach the world with a more mature and realistic perspective as a result of his experience at the bazaar.
