From Edgar Allen Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart"

TRUE! --nervous --very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses --not destroyed --not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily --how calmly I can tell you the whole story.

It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain; but once conceived, it haunted me day and night. Object there was none. Passion there was none. I loved the old man. He had never wronged me. He had never given me insult. For his gold I had no desire. I think it was his eye! yes, it was this! He had the eye of a vulture --a pale blue eye, with a film over it. Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees --very gradually --I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever.
The narrator maintains that he is sane, yet his actual words undermine this. Which line from this passage makes the reader question the narrator's sanity?

A) "He had the eye of a vulture --a pale blue eye, with a film over it."
B) "For his gold I had no desire."
C) "It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain; but once conceived, it haunted me day and night."
D) "Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees --very gradually --I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever."

Answer 1

Answer:

This is what I wrote (and it is not plagerized you can even check)

Explanation:

The sound that the narrator thinks he's heard at the end of the story is the old man's heartbeat but what he actually hears is his guilty conscious, because that is what is making him think that he can still hear the old man's heartbeat is that since he feels guilty about what he did his conscious is making it seem like the heart is still beating. In the text, it says that " I admit the deed-tear up the planks!-here, here! it is the beating of his hideous heart!" that shows how the narrator got tired of "hearing the heartbeat" so what he did was confess to what he did. The effect that the narration has on the story is that the suspense because in paragraph 17 we the audience are getting anxious because when the police arrive at the house were wondering at what time he will get caught.

The answer is (D)

Answer 2

Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees --very gradually, I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever is line from this passage makes the reader question the narrator's sanity. Hence, option D is correct.

What is the concept of the passage?

At the conclusion of the story, the narrator believes that he can still hear the old man's heartbeat, but what he actually hears is his guilty conscience.

This is, because of his remorse over what he did, the old man's conscience is making it appear as though the heart is still beating. "I accept the deed-tear away the planks!-here, ! It is the throbbing of his horrible heart," the text states. This illustrates how the narrator grew weary of "hearing the heartbeat" and decided to come clean about what he had done.

Thus, option D is correct.

Ares in this case sounds like a bully when he told Percy and his group to find his sheild for him and when Ares offered a ride to Los Angels they had to accept because the summer solstice was about to be soon. Sure, Percy did make a war god his enemy but it showed he was brave and showed a lot of strong character and wasn’t going to allow himself to be pushed around by some god.

Answer:

•presentable - clean and smart enough to be seen in public

•natty - neat and fashionable

•contingent - a group of people

•strategically - positioned for best control

Explanation:

Let's try and briefly explain each of these words.

Presentable means that something/someone meets the criteria to be presented in public.

We say that something is natty, we usually refer to clothes, although ot can be related to people as well. Natty means something fashionable, fashionably-designed, appealing to many people.

Contingent is a noun that denotes a number of people sharing something in common (nationality, profession, features)

Strategically can be defined as positioned in a manner that provides the positioner resources, control, infrastructure, terrain etc. (The town was strategically built near the confluence of the two rivers.)

Notes are used as a reference so that you can look back at them and quickly recognize key information. If they are hard to read, then you cannot use them. If they cannot be used as a reference, there is no point in even looking at them. If they contain too little information then you won't have enough details to answer questions or help you. If they contain too much information, then it may be hard to find the needed information.

They should include headings and formatting to help quickly find and recognize the information. They should contain symbols and abbreviations, again,  to quickly recognize the information. It should also summarize key information. Long, lengthy paragraphs are not recommended for notes because it makes information difficult to understand and locate.

As the senior prefect of your school,write a letter to the headteacher, discussing two reason why the school instil moral values into the students ​

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Universal Model School,

90 Aba Oweri Road,

Aba.

October 12, 2020.

The Principal,

Universal Model School,

Aba.

Sir,

NEED FOR MORAL AND ETHICAL REORIENTATION OF STUDENTS

It is with utmost expediency that I write this letter to you in my capacity as the senior prefect of Universal Model School Aba in the 2020/2021 school year.

Sir, our school has been known in Aba, Abia State and Nigeria in general as the epitome of discipline, East of the Niger. However, all of these gains appear to be speedily eroded in recent times. Lately, the school has witnessed disturbing acts of rascality by certain unscrupulous elements among the students and commensurate disciplinary action is yet to be meted out on these erring students. It is against this backdrop that I write this letter.

Sir, the necessity of inculcating sound moral values in students can not be over emphasized. This institution can be regarded as a microcosm of the larger society. It is a place of formation, the values learnt here determine the moral destiny of the larger society in the coming years. For this reason, school activities must not only be tailored towards achieving excellence in academic subjects, but achieving excellence in character and morals.

Similarly, the legacy of Universal Model School Aba as an epitome of discipline appears to be in ruins due to the level of moral decadence exhibited by some students. If these trends continue to go unchecked, annual enrolment in our school will begin to decline because parents may begin to loose confidence in the potential of Universal Model School Aba as a place of moral formation.

Sir, I urge you to use your good office to expedite action on this matter of restoration of moral values in our school.

Thanks in anticipation of your positive response.

Yours Faithfully,
