In Edgar Allen Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart", the narrator describes how he suffocated an old man to death because of the old man'

s ghastly eye. He claims he is not insane, but was very "nervous" and "wise"; however, are there any clues in the story that reveal otherwise? Examine his testimony.
In 8-10 sentences, answer the following argumentative prompt:

Is the narrator guilty of murder and should be put in prison or is he not guilty by reason of insanity and should be put in a mental hospital? Consider the narrator's manner of speaking, state of mind, and actions to support your argument. Use at least TWO pieces of textual evidence in your response.

Answer:

Insanity put in mental hospital

Explanation:

Now days if your insane or mentally ill and you commit a crime they take that in consideration and should there for only be put in the mental hospital and stay there but if the masters family wished for more they most likely would’ve wanted more of a punishment. For him to only be bothered by his eye is of no reason to kill someone there are many other things he could’ve done instead of killing him and feeling guilty afterwards sorry if that didn’t make sense

Answer: A) It reinforces the idea of the United Nations’ strength and power.

Repetition is often used as a rhetorical device in order to emphasize an idea. It can also be used to provide more weight to a particular topic or to leave a long-lasting image in the listener's mind. In this case, the idea that Roosevelt is trying to emphasize is that the United Nations will strike again, because of its strength and power. By repeating the word "strike," he is making sure that the listener understands the extent of this promise and the power of the UN.

sedaris uses both understatement and hyperbole in this essay. Identify two examples of each and explain the effect
Korvikt [17]
The hyperbole “the size of tombstones”. The author uses the hyperbole to define the extent of Anna's teeth. It’s clear the character does not have teeth in her mouth as big as tombstones or else the character would not be eager to speak. The effect of wit is shaped through Sedaris's use of the hyperbole. Also, it makes an improved description of the scene so that the person who reads can make a better visual.   
The hyperbole "Every day spent with you is like having a cesarean section."The result is this is where David Sedaris for the primary time meanwhile being in France he could comprehend every word that anybody was saying.

5) Imagine a world with no fungi. How would their absence impact your life?
Luba_88 [7]
Less food because fungi decompose dead things to fertilize plants. Less plants to eat. 
Then it will become a butterfly effect.
