Answer:

B.Mystery and suspense

Explanation:

We can hear the noise made by a shovel while someone , Lester, was digging a grave in the writing. We get more details of this setting; we learn that the grave was deep  and  it had not been covered by grass yet , which makes us feel as if we were inside it . This atmosphere of mystery and suspense gets sharper when we learn that an old man was being buried but,later, it would be unearthed .

In what way does Mirikitani’s “Attack the Water” compare to Muriel Ruckeyser’s “Poem”?
Amanda [17]
Mirikitani's "Attack the Water" relates to Rukeyser's "Poem" because they both focus on what civilians experience during wartime. "Attack the Water" describes the struggle of Vietnamese people living during (and after) the Vietnam War, and of Japanese-Americans in the era of Japanese Labor camps. "Poem" reflects on the struggle of people living during both of the World Wars, trying to get by and to get through such a tragic time. Both of these poems show that even when people are not involved directly in a war, war can still have an immense impact on their lives.

ESSAY 1:Lady Macbeth, described as a fiend-like queen, is responsible for the deaths ofcountless people. She meets a fitting end
Alexus [3.1K]

Lady Macbeth is extremely ambitious and her desire to be queen is more intense and even irrational. Her ambition leads her to commit terrible acts, which lead to her rise, but it is the same ambition that leads her to fall.

Unlike her husband, she is courageous, focused and incisive, even going away from Christianity, when she asks the spirits to remove any feminine instinct to care and serve from her, as that would take away her proactivity, her intolerance and her ability to go over anyone to achieve the goals you want.

Lady Macbeth is responsible for the murder of King Duncan and for the fall of the kingdom at the hands of her husband. She is also responsible for the desperation and lack of control that Macbeth demonstrates, since it was only because of her that he came to power.

As previously said, it is Lady Macbeth's ambition that leads her to ruin, when frightened by the events and with a strong emotional weight caused by her past actions, she finds herself in an unbearable psychological agony to the point of making her take her own life and walk towards eternal punishment, establishing a great ending for a great villain.
