Ever since I was a little girl, I had heard about our house in Guyana. It was beautiful: a long white box with a series of windo

ws, each shaded by delicate lattice shutters. Like all the houses in the area, where the land easily floods, it sat on slender stilts; underneath was what was called the bottomhouse, where the chickens strutted about.

The third answer.

Explanation:

This is clearly the only one that aligns with the passage given. This in no one entertains as there is no context established to why she explaining her house and disaster around it. She says nothing about workers or sugar plantations so that cannot be assumed from this passage. Lastly, it does not attempt to persaude, otherwise the stilts would be the main focus of the passage.

In at least one hundred words, discuss the significance of the Stage Manager's narration in Our Town. Analyze the text in terms
tatiyna
The Stage Manager in the play Our Town serves as a "narrator"; he (or she, in some productions) explains the action to the audience, and since there is little in the way of set decoration, his commentary takes the place of some stage direction. He is a conduit between the action of the play and the audience, at times breaking the "fourth wall" by speaking directly to the audience, and at other times participating in the action. His role is similar to the role of the Chorus in ancient classical Greek drama, commenting on the action to help clarify some of the dramatic elements for the audience and helping to move the plot along.

The Form of a poem is the way it looks and how it is arranged on the page <br> A.True B. False
Ket [755]
I'd say it's false. 
A poem has to follow a specific pattern, rhyme, scheme or meter to identify it's form.
So just going off of the way the poem looks on the page is not the true form.
Hope I could help <3

~ANSWER ASAP BEST ANSWER WILL GET BRAINLIEST~
Rasek [7]
Muir starts off talking about how long he had been sitting by the Calypso-so long that he wasn't tired or hungry anymore. We, as the readers, think he has a bad attitude about sitting by this plant.We think this because it seems like he is describing his wait as painful(he is WAY past being tired or hungry). However, the next sentence contrasts with this idea. When the sun sets, Muir suddenly gets this jolt of purpose and energy, stronger and determined than ever before. Can you see the pattern here? As for the dialogue, it is a woman speaking, and she lives in the log house he sees. She has a negative attitude towards the swamp, while Muir has a positive one. She wonders why he would want to be in a dangerous place like the swamp, explaining that a body was found in it. She then goes on to say that it was God's mercy that Muir was able to get out of the mucky swamp.I hope this helps!
