Formal diction

Douglass's use of the words "severe trial" and "departure", as well as his sentence structure shows a more formal diction. He is basically saying nothing stopped him from leaving. However, he uses much more formal diction. Imagery is the creation of images in the reader's mind through description. There are no images in the reader's mind from this excerpt. There are also no elements of sentiment in the passage or subjectivity.

Answer:

D. Formal diction

Explanation:

Formal diction is a style of speaking or writing in a polite, and proper manner. This type of diction often contains descriptive, precise and elegant words, and longer sentence and it is totally free of idioms, colloquialism, slang, and contractions. "I found no severe trial in my departure" is an example of this type of diction as it uses more formal and elegant words such as "severe trial" and "departure", instead of saying it a more informal way like: "I had no problems when leaving" or "I left with no trouble".

Why does the narrator lock her husband and Jennie out of her room?
Ivanshal [37]
She locks her husband and Jennie out of the room for all of those reasons.

She is attempting to free the woman from behind the wallpaper (and herself from the constraints of her husband's cruelty). In order to free the woman, she has to be able to remove the wallpaper. Since, as the narrator describes the situation, it's fairly clear that she's going insane, she believes that she has to get all the wallpaper off so that they can't put the woman (her) back into the wall. It's important to the narrator that they not stop her from removing the paper.

An author may use dialogue to provide the reader with?
julia-pushkina [17]
<span>Indirect characterization uses a person/character's speech patterns or other forms of appearance to give a look into their personality. In this case, dialogue would be considered a way to indirectly characterize. Direct characterization, on the other hand, uses actual descriptive words and phrases to give a look at how a character will behave, look, or feel.</span>

What effect does the repetition of the word “repent” – “I can never repent” (paragraph 1) and “I do not repent” (paragraph 2) –
ANEK [815]

<em>"Last Diary Entry of John Wilkes Booth"</em> by John Wilkes Booth, written in 1865 after he assassinated the then President of the United States of America, is an original narration by himself before he was found and the entire place was set on fire by soldiers.

Explanation:

John Booth was fighting for the South. He believed that the South were mistreated and justice was denied to them from the Union, which was under Lincoln, for obvious reasons of him being the President.

Booth believed that Lincoln's ideology did not help America and Americans live a respectful life. He perceived the country's condition as pathetic with the new reforms and Union coming into place as soon as Lincoln became the President. Booth congregated few conspirators along with him and tried to kidnap Lincoln many times, but in vain.

In his last diary entry, after he managed to get into the theater where Lincoln was attending a play and assassinated him, he mentions that he is not feeling bad/regrets what he has done tonight. He mentions how his flesh came out and his bone was hanging, when he jumped down the stage after he shot Lincoln on his head.

<em>'I can never repent'</em> is for the act that he has committed tonight when he feels that Lincoln was the sole reason for the troubles Americans and especially, people from South have been facing.

<em>'I do not repent'</em> explains how he hated to kill but he feels that was the only choice he and his conspirators could make. He wanted this blow to be struck on American government and the Union formed.

Both these statements by him explain to us that his idea of assassination is right according to him and that he will never regret doing it rather, has to be feeling relieved about accomplishing a task for his country's good.
