Fall of the House of Usher, excerpt
By Edgar Allan Poe

Upon my entrance, Usher rose from a sofa on which he had been lying at full length, and greeted me with a vivacious warmth which had much in it, I at first thought, of an overdone cordiality—of the constrained effort of the ennuyé1 man of the world. A glance, however, at his countenance convinced me of his perfect sincerity. We sat down; and for some moments, while he spoke not, I gazed upon him with a feeling half of pity, half of awe. Surely, man had never before so terribly altered, in so brief a period, as had Roderick Usher! It was with difficulty that I could bring myself to admit the identity of the wan being before me with the companion of my early boyhood. Yet the character of his face had been at all times remarkable. A cadaverousness of complexion; an eye large, liquid, and luminous beyond comparison; lips somewhat thin and very pallid, but of a surpassingly beautiful curve; a nose of a delicate Hebrew model, but with a breadth of nostril unusual in similar formations; a finely moulded chin, speaking, in its want of prominence, of a want of moral energy; hair of a more than web-like softness and tenuity;—these features, with an inordinate expansion above the regions of the temple, made up altogether a countenance not easily to be forgotten. And now in the mere exaggeration of the prevailing character of these features, and of the expression they were wont to convey, lay so much of change that I doubted to whom I spoke. The now ghastly pallor of the skin, and the now miraculous lustre of the eye, above all things startled and even awed me. The silken hair, too, had been suffered to grow all unheeded, and as, in its wild gossamer texture, it floated rather than fell about the face, I could not, even with effort, connect its Arabesque expression with any idea of simple humanity.

In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, a troll got into the castle and went into the girl's bathroom where Hermione was. Harry and Ron saw the troll go in there. They rushed to the bathroom and helped save her from the troll. ... That won Harry and Ron over, and the three of them became fast friends.

HEY can you write a paragraph about what home means to you please i will mark you brainly

Answers

Answer:

Home means an enjoyable, happy place where you can live, laugh and learn. It's somewhere where you are loved, respected, and cared for. When you look at it from the outside, home is just a house.

Home is a place where you feel safe and secure; a place where you experience emotional warmth and feel yourself surrounded by love and affection; a place where there are no constraints on your development and where you don't have to constantly fight for your own rights; a place where justice

Homes are more important than ever. They're places of comfort, of security, of refuge. For many people, homes do double-duty as both living and workspaces; for others, their homes have also morphed into schools. Now, there's a more urgent need for homes to be both beautiful and functional

What social norm of the time period is Scout having conflict regarding? What
does the story suggest might be the reason for this?

Answers

Answer:

The societal norm against which Scout is having conflict is the notion of propriety for women of the time period.

The reason for this conflict is her tomboyish attitude.

Explanation:

"To Kill a Mockingbird" is a novel written by Harper Lee.

Scout, or Jean Louise Finch. is the narrator of the story. She is a six-year-old girl who lives in Maycomb with her older brother, Jem, and father, Atticus. Scout, as correctly nicknamed, reflects the characteristics of a young girl, who is inquisitive and smart. She conflicts with the societal norms laid for women of the time period. She is having conflict with the notion of propriety for women.

The reason for this conflict is her tomboyish behavior. The story suggests that she is in conflict with this norm because she climbs the tree with Jem and Bill. It is also because her father has kept her away from evil societal norms.

Answers

Answer:

would it be a chorus? in our church when they have songs like that its called a chorus ;-;  

Explanation:

Answer:

C. alliteration

Explanation:

Repetition

Repetition is the use of any element of language—a sound, word, phrase, clause, or sentence—more than once. Poets use many kinds of repetition to add emphasis, drama, or musical rhythm to a poem.

Rhyming is a form of repetition in which the sound is repeated. Now you will learn about two other types of repetition used in lyric poetry: refrain and alliteration.

Refrain

A refrain is a line or group of lines repeated throughout a poem. A refrain can be

a line or two of verse that comes at the end of a stanza; or

a stanza that is repeated regularly throughout the poem.

In musical terms, the repeated lines sung after a stanza are called a chorus.

Alliteration

Alliteration is the repetition of the same consonant sound, such as many Mondays, or dazzling dream. This type of sound repetition can occur at the beginning, middle, or end of the word.
