Read the selection below from the short story “The Pit and the Pendulum” by Edgar Allan Poe and complete the statement that foll

ows. I saw clearly the doom which had been prepared for me, and congratulated myself upon the timely accident by which I had escaped. Another step before my fall, and the world had seen me no more and the death just avoided was of that very character which I had regarded as fabulous and frivolous in the tales respecting the Inquisition. To the victims of its tyranny, there was the choice of death with its direst physical agonies, or death with its most hideous moral horrors. I had been reserved for the latter. By long suffering my nerves had been unstrung, until I trembled at the sound of my own voice, and had become in every respect a fitting subject for the species of torture which awaited me. All of the following excerpts develop the plot through the narrator’s mental activity except __________. “I . . . congratulated myself upon the timely accident by which I had escaped.” “I trembled at the sound of my own voice . . . .” “[T]he death just avoided was of that very character which I had regarded as fabulous and frivolous . . . .” “By long suffering my nerves had been unstrung . . . .”

Why are asides important in Our Town? Select all that apply.
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

B-They reinforce the traditions of realism.

C-They provide the audience with privileged information.

D- They form a connection between the actors and the audience.

Explanation:

An aside occurs when a character speaks on stage, but is not heard by the other actors present in the scene. Most of the time, asides occur because a character wants to give the audience information that the other characters of the play do not possess. Therefore, the audience receives privileged information. Due to this process, a connection is formed between the actors and the audience. Both of these purposes are important in Our Town. The third purpose that the aside fulfills in the play is that of reinforcing the traditions of realism.
