Read the excerpt from “The Scarlet Ibis.” The lightning was near now, and from fear he walked so close behind me he kept steppin

g on my heels. The faster I walked, the faster he walked, so I began to run. The rain was coming, roaring through the pines, and then, like a bursting Roman candle, a gum tree ahead of us was shattered by a bolt of lightning. When the deafening peal of thunder had died, and in the moment before the rain arrived, I heard Doodle, who had fallen behind, cry out, “Brother, Brother, don’t leave me! Don’t leave me!” The imagery in this excerpt most reflects the sense of sight to emphasize the fear that Doodle was feeling. the sense of sight to emphasize how difficult it was for the boys to see. the sense of sound to emphasize the frustration of the narrator. the sense of sound to emphasize the intense volume of the storm.

Answer:

The imagery in this excerpt most reflects D. the sense of sound to emphasize the intense volume of the storm.

Explanation:

Imagery is a literary device that uses language to appeal to one or more of the five senses (sight, taste, touch, smell and hearing) to involve the reader and help visualize what is being described.

This excerpt clearly appeals to sound (hearing), as can be evidenced by word choice: roaring, deafening, thunder, heard, cry out. The reader is able to imagine what the approaching storm sounds like in its intensity - how the thunders and the rain roar, how a person has to scream to be heard amidst all this noise. We can, therefore, safely choose letter D as our answer - D. the sense of sound to emphasize the intense volume of the storm.

Read the excerpts from "The Monk's Tale."
Tpy6a [65]

A theme that Geoffrey Chaucer develops through these two excerpts is that of treachery, since both King Peter of Spain and King Peter of Cyprus were betrayed and their lives ended tragically. King Peter of Spain was betrayed by a man named Bertrand, who had agreed to protect him in exchange for a great compensation, but who eventually handed him over to his half-brother, Henry, who promised him an even greater reward and who assassinated Peter in his tent in 1369, becoming the new king. This is narrated in the excerpt, where Bertrand is compared not with Oliver of Charlemagne, friend of Charlemagne, but with the knight that betrayed him ("No, Oliver of Charlemagne... such a trap!").

Peter I of Cyprus devoting his short yet intense life to fight Islam, and he led the short yet devastating Alexandrian Crusade, but his life ended abruptly. Betrayed by his wife and by some of his closer knights, he was assassinated in his bed also in 1369. This is also referred in the poem ("That conquered Alexandria... on thy bed!").

To sum up, both excerpts revolve around this theme, which they present very similarly: after emphasizing the deeds of the two historical characters, they finalize by regretting their tragic endings.

Which of Dee's actions in "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker is in line with the following description of her character?
alexira [117]

Answer:

A) changing her name

Explanation:

As depicted by her mom, Dee has dependably been focused on trends, notwithstanding with regards to something as insignificant as fashion. In this way, when she changes her name, she interprets it as a demonstration of returning to her African roots.

But the peruser can't help to think that it's since she is an educated African American lady under the solid impact of contemporary social movements, so she may do it since it's chic, and not on the grounds that it's right.

In Stalin's opinion, why did the USSR decide to go to war with Germany?​
gulaghasi [49]

The correct answer is A) because people of the world -including dissenters in Germany- had approved their cause.

<em>In Stalin's opinion, the USSR decide to go to war with Germany because people of the world -including dissenters in Germany- had approved their cause. </em>

Joseph Stalin was a dictator. The people that surround him, his advisors, often said yes to everything he said. So in Stalin's mind, the Soviet Union had to wage war against Germany because he thought he had total support from the people in Russia; even dissenters in Germany. So he considered that he was fighting the tyrant Hitler and his expansionist ideas that included an invasion to the USSR territory as he did.  

The other options of the question were b) because Britain would be fighting with the Soviets, c) because Soviet troops had received threats from German ships, and d) because Hitler took Polish territory when he broke the nonaggression pact.
