The tone of the story "Talk" by Harold Courlander and George Herzog is humorous. The story revolves around a farmer being first frightened by the talking yam whom he wants to dig, followed by the dog who told him to listen to the yam, then the palm tree who warned him not to cut its branch. The farmer ran off meeting a fisherman who also ran off hearing the fish trap talk. They come across a weaver whose bundle of cloth talked and then ran with them together. The story is really funny because of the talking characters in the story including the stool in the chief's house.
Answer:
Explanation:
The correct answer is B. subjective.
In order to complete this sentence, you need to use a subjective pronoun. That pronoun would be SHE, as in - '... she decided to train for the marathon herself.' An objective pronoun would be HER, which is obviously incorrect. An intensive and a reflexive pronouns look the same - HERSELF. As a matter of fact, there is an intensive pronoun in the sentence above - the last word.
Answer:
It was very low inside the house, and so dim, with the closed blinds, that they could scarcely see one another;
Her father standing decorously apart with his hat on his forearm, as at funerals; a woman rested in a deep arm-chair, and the woman who had let the strangers in stood behind the chair.
<em>Editha</em>, by William Dean Howells, is an antiwar story published in 1905. Its characters are people who greatly value custom and ritual, even when it is objectively inconvenient or awkward for them to do so.
The two chosen lines exemplify that character trait. In the first sentence, the house has the blinds closed, as was common for houses where the family had recently experienced a loss or a tragedy. This rule is followed, even though it meant that the characters were barely able to see each other.
The second sentence has a similar example, as Edith's father stands at a distance and with his hat in his hands. We are told this is the way it is done at funerals, which is consistent with the previous sentence and with the character's personality traits.
Hello!
Assuming that you are referring to Edgar Allan Poe, here are 5 examples!
1. Baltimore Ravens. The NFL Team Baltimore Ravens was named after Poe's poem, "The Raven". He was also from Baltimore, I believe.
2. Many television shows have burrowed plot lines or images from Poe, including the spooky 1960s soap opera "Dark Shadows", and etc.
3. In 1945, The Mystery Writers Of America Inc established an award that recognizes amazing writing in the mystery, crime and suspense field. They are known as The Edgar Allan Poe Awards.
4. There is a song that was released in 1994 called "Run-Around" - by Blues Traveler, and has mentions of lines from Poe's poem
5. In the tv show, the Simpsons, in the second season, James Earl Jones read a part of "The Raven" while Homer as the narrator and art as the raven acted out the poem.
Hope that helped!
