<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

  • The excerpt above is an example of Harte's use of <u>humor</u>.

<em><u>Explanation:</u></em>

Humor is an abstract apparatus that means to initiate beguilement or chuckling. Its motivation is to break the dreariness, weariness, and repetitiveness, and influence the gathering of people's nerves to unwind.

Harte utilizes comic scenes, discourse, and depictions to counterbalance the deplorability of the story and to shield it from transforming into acting. A great part of the diversion depends on metaphor. Once in a while this is turned around to modest representation of the truth, in which the words appear to be unreasonably immaterial for the event.

Why does Dickinson set the poem “Dying” in an ordinary bedroom, which isn’t even described? What might be her purpose in choosin
storchak [24]
I would think that setting the scene of someone dying is appropriate to be in a bedroom where a sick person would most likely be (if not in a hospital) such as someone in palliative care for example and the bedroom stillness is commented on  broken only by a fly and whose buzz perhaps accentuated the otherwise stillness. If the person's death was outside or in a public place it would more likely be the result of a, say an accident, or say an assassination such as that of Martin Luther King  so since it is inside in a bedroom it indicates the dying is just a normal death from illness and/or old age.
