Henry Use the drop-down menus to identify the examples of characterization as direct or indirect. “He looked thin and very serious.” “He was only twenty-two.” “He needed a new overcoat and he was without gloves.”

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

direct , direct, indirect

Explanation:

Answer 2

“He looked thin and very serious.” is a direct characterization, “He was only twenty-two.” is also direct characterization. While “He needed a new overcoat and he was without gloves.” is indirect characterization.

What is characterization?

Characterization is the process by which an author or actor describes or depicts what a character is like.

Characterization refers to the techniques a writer employs to reveal to readers a character's values, feelings, goals, and so on. When revealing a character's traits, a writer can use either direct or indirect characterization.

Direct characterization, also known as explicit characterization, describes the character through their physical appearance, line of work, or interests and hobbies. Characters are described indirectly through their thoughts, actions, speech, and dialogue.

"He looked thin and solemn." is a direct characterization; "He was only twenty-two." is another direct characterization. "He needed a new overcoat and he was without gloves," on the other hand, is an indirect characterization.

Thus, the given two statements are direct and last one is indirect characterization.

Answer:

2. The repetition creates an astonished tone that highlights the inventiveness of Newton's theory.

Explanation:

Interestingly, since the use of such repeated words weren't used by Newton himself, hence, we can conclude that such word repetitions by the author were only meant to create an astonished tone that highlights the inventiveness of Newton's theory, which almost everyone would agree with.

I Dwell In Possibility

by Emily Dickinson

I dwell in Possibility –
A fairer House than Prose –
More numerous of Windows –
Superior – for Doors –

Of Chambers as the Cedars –
Impregnable of eye –
And for an everlasting Roof
The Gambrels of the Sky –

Of Visitors – the fairest –
For Occupation – This –
The spreading wide my narrow Hands
To gather Paradise –

Question 1
Part A

What is a key theme of "I Dwell in Possibility"?


The creation of art is a divine occupation.

Writing is superior to other occupations.

Being cut off from nature is a form of isolation.

A solitary life is not worth living.
Question 2
Part B

How does Emily Dickinson develop the theme indicated in Part A?


Dickinson describes writing poetry as gathering "Paradise."

She beckons visitors to enter her home as often as they would like.

She mocks occupations that don't involve writing.

Dickinson compares poetry to living alone in isolation.

Answers

Just write something simple. For instance, your friend's name is Jack (or anything of your choice), and the item of your desire was a bike. You wanted to buy it because you were extremely inspired by a bike race you saw on TV a few weeks/months ago. You managed to get half the money from your dad, but the other half was from a part-time job you worked at as a barista/delivery driver/accountant whatever it is that you applied to solely for the sake of affording the bike.

Now that you've bought the bike, describe your excitement to learn riding it, your happiness of how you reached your goal and so forth. It should be easy.

I'm being vague here in case your assignment is an online one and there is chance of you receiving a plagiarism strike. I hope this helps.

I have to do a book report but I dont know what to do so please help and if u did thanks
1. State the title of the book
2. How many pages
3. 120 characters at least of the summary of the book​

Answers

Answer:

I decided to do a book report about The Hunger Games  by Suzanne Collins. It came out back in 2008, yet I only read it this past school year. It was a lovely discovery. I have not been able to find any recent books that I am interested in enough to read. But reading The Hunger Games caught my full attention and interested me greatly. It is a dystopian future themed book packed full of adventure and politics. It’s main character is a girl named Katniss Everdeen. She is one of my favorite female leads in any book I’ve read. She’s a very independent and pessimistic character, both of which are not commonly seen traits in female leads. She took care of her family from a young age after her father died. She had a hard life growing up which has led her to not trusting people very easily or being very optimistic about life.I found it very easy to get interested in this book.

It drew me in with various symbolic meanings and political themes. I find the setting of the book to very closely relate towards how the American government is heading. People with money will have all of the power and the poor will be left no choice but to obey their every command. The people of the Capitol know that they have the power and they use it to their advantage. Power hungry politicians have the same mindsets. They don’t care whose life gets ruined as long as they get what they want in the end. The Capitol people pretend to care about the people of the districts, but they don’t.

There is a wide spectrum of character types to help represent each district. This helps paint a picture to the readers of what life is like in each district. I dislike when a book is solely based on developing romance. The Hunger Games is a breath of fresh air with little to no romance. Romance in the book is almost like an afterthought, but even when it comes into the book it is not a huge part of the book and is even a little faked. I’m not a big fan of books only based over romance, but The Hunger Games does a great job of not focusing on romance and mainly focusing on the plot and character development. Overall I really like this book, once I started I couldn’t put it down. It is a book that will draw readers in and immerse them into the universe that they are reading about. I would highly suggest reading this book and a special thanks to _____( WHOEVER YOU WANT)___ for introducing this book to me.

Answers

Answer:

The narrator feels confident in that moment.

Explanation:

This passage was taken from the short story "The Tell-Tale Heart", by Edgar Allan Poe. The narrator insists with eerie confidence that he is sane. That insistence is precisely what proves him mad, especially when he admits to having killed a man because he could hear that man's heart beating. His confidence comes from the fact that he was able to premeditate the crime. He believes he wouldn't have been able to plan it in advance had he been mad.
