Hi There

The contextual information is the conflict between man and nature.  Jack London wrote this story in 1908 it was reflected in the story of his own life Yukon Territory.

Answer:

Jack London spent some time as a prospector in the Klondike. He was aware of how dangerous ignorance could be in such harsh conditions. “To Build a Fire” reflects London’s experience with many foolish prospectors who died from the cold and of malnutrition.

The contextual information suggests why the unnamed prospector in the story might have been overconfident: He was new to the area and might have been misled by popular and sensational accounts of the gold rush. These accounts depicted the prospectors as heroes discovering new frontiers and making their own fortunes. They did not describe the suffering of life in the Canadian wilderness.

Contextual information also helps us understand the author’s purpose: to expose the truth about the dangerous conditions faced by prospectors during the Klondike gold rush. London informs his readers of what exactly prospecting involves and the importance of knowing the dangers of the environment and one’s own limits.

dybincka [34]

1. The Venn diagrams are used for both classification and comparisons. Don't limit to only one of them.


2. Venn diagrams don't have to be circles.


3. You need to draw the universal set.


4. Venn diagrams don't have to be very simple. It's okay to complicate the Venn diagrams in order to capture the classifications and the comparisons.

In one or two paragraphs of a minimum of 150 words, describe how Edgar Allan Poe’s poem “The Bells” uses figurative language to
siniylev [52]

Answer:

Edgar Allan Poe created the poem "The Bells" to describe them using stylistic devices. Look down below for the answer as this is a space for short answers.

Explanation:

Three different elements show how Edgar Allan Poe used figurative language to develop his poem "The Bells". First of all, "The Bells" is a poem that describes the sound of different types of bells, as much as the general idea allowed him to think about all types of bells and represent them in the poem. Second, once he has thought and analyzed the different characteristic sounds of each type he makes comparisons, similes, and imagery are the most used elements in the poem. Third, after trying to identify them, he describes them in what is his best "shot" to be understood by the reader. Then, he repeats different elements, scenes, and objects to compare them and differentiate one type from the other. One major factor here is that he uses his knowledge and learning to transmit his idea. That might not be perfect but is complete, because he described them so hard by comparing them to common objects that the reader can understand his point of view easily.

Choose examples of Igbo words from the novel and, in at least two hundred words, discuss the impact of those foreign words on to
djyliett [7]

Things Fall Apart illustrates many different aspects of Igbo culture. For one, it shows us on may occasions they way they view religion. They are polytheistic, which means they worship many gods. Their gods and goddesses govern different aspects of the world and daily life, such as the earth goddess, Ani.

Different rituals and customs go along with each god. We can see this in the week of peace, which is observed to honor Ani so she will bless the crops. In addition, some of the gods have Oracles. These are basically their mouthpiece on earth. The Oracles will sometimes be possessed by their god, and the god will speak through them and tell the clan what they need to do.

The novel also explores non-religious aspects of Igbo culture. For example, we see and hear about the different ceremonies and rituals that surround courtship and marriage. Men almost always have more than one wife, an important cultural aspect. We also see how the clan conducts aspects of war, and some of how they keep and enforce law and order. Over the course of the novel we get to see a wide array of different aspects of Igbo life and culture. Not sure if this is at least two hundred words but hope it helps.
