<span>1. </span>I believe the correct answer is B. The stream of
consciousness technique.
This excerpt is an
example of Woolf's use of the stream of consciousness technique as an
experimental narrative form. This technique allowed her to present inner though
process of multiple characters throughout the text (in this excerpt the
thoughts of Septimus).
<span>2. </span>I believe the correct answer is C. intense
anxiety and fear.
From a description of
the scene, we are transported into the mind of the harrowed war soldier,
Septimus. The words such as wavered, quivered, burst, and throb, give us a
sense of his intense anxiety and fear.
<span>3. </span>I believe the correct answer is: C. "Things
fall apart; the centre cannot hold."
The description of
the scene is reminiscent of the following line from a poem “The Second coming”
by William Butler Yeats is "Things fall apart; the center cannot
hold." Septimus believes that he is the one stopping the world from
bursting to flames:” It is I who am blocking the way, he thought. Was he not
being looked at and pointed at; was he not weighted there, rooted to the
pavement, for a purpose?”
Answer:
This excerpt proves that Odysseus causes his crew's demise:
D. by revealing his ignorant assumptions.
Explanation:
The excerpt we are analyzing here belongs to the epic poem The Odyssey. The hero of the story, Odysseus, is talking to a Cyclops, but his ignorant assumptions about the Cyclops's kind leads to his crew's demise.<u> Odysseus assumes the Cyclopes, just like humans, fear and respect the gods. That's why he appeals to that notion when he says, "Zeus will avenge the unoffending guest." However, to his sad surprise, the Cyclops is immediately angered by those words, revealing he could not care less about the gods. The Cyclopes are clearly an arrogant kind, believing they "have more force by far." Since Odysseus did not know that, his words cause a tragedy.</u>
Southern Gothic is a genre with a mood that combines Southern details, such as small-town life, with terror or suspense. Unlike early gothic literature about vampires and ghosts, Flannery O’Connor and others began writing about the monsters around us in everyday life. A key characteristic of this genre is having deeply flawed characters. In “A Good Man is Hard To Find,” both the grandmother and The Misfit are deeply flawed characters for very different reasons. The Misfit is a murderer who seems to have been created by a failed penal system, while the grandmother seems like a proper lady at first, but turns out to be selfish, a racist, and ultimately gets her whole family killed. It is through these characters that O’Connor explores the theme of good and evil, and whether people are truly capable of change.
The poem warns those who use flattery and attraction to disguise their true evil intentions.
