Bradbury describes Mead’s walk with an extended metaphor when he writes of his walk as being “...not unequal to walking through a graveyard...” What are the tombs, and who is in those tombs?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The story of Bradbury is set in a dystopian age where books and magazines were outdated. Also, crime was non-existent and so was the need for police. The police patrol cars had now been trimmed from 3 to one.

In the city where Leonard Mead lives, people got all the entertainment they needed from their Televisions Sets.

So at night, no one walked the streets. Everyone sat at home in front of the TV except for Mead.

So to answer the first question, the streets had become like a graveyard as there was no one in the street, only quietness and occasional canine activity from dogs who would bark at noises mostly of which were his until he changed his shoes.

The tombs in the story are used as a simile. A representation of the houses that betrayed zero activity, regardless of the people in them.

Cheers!

How would the author of “Playground” respond to the author of “I’m Not Thirteen Yet”? Use evidence from both texts in your explanation.

<< Read Less

Answers

Answer:

The Author of “Playground” would most likely respond by saying that both of the stories are similar, by which they both have characters that bring the story to a theme. Both stories bring together that their themes may be that the main characters feel drawn to something, This is because the main character in “I’m not 13 yet” wants to be a part in a School of 12 and 13 year olds. The main character feels as if they don’t belong, because they’re being excluded from the 13 year olds’ clubs. The main character in “Playground” however, has a flashback from their anguished childhood because his son and him pass by a Playground that is very noisy.

What symbolized the narrator’s guilt about killing Pluto in Edgar Allan Poe’s short story “The Black Cat”?

Answers

Answer:

C. The patch of white fur

Explanation:

What symbolized the narrator’s guilt about killing Pluto in Edgar Allan Poe’s short story “The Black Cat” is "The patch of white fur".

An excerpt from the story supports that:

"My wife had called my attention, more than once, to the character of the mark of white hair, of which I have spoken, and which constituted the sole visible difference between the strange beast and the one I had destroyed...It was now the representation of an object that I shudder to name—and for this, above all, I loathed, and dreaded, and would have rid myself of the monster had I dared—it was now, I say, the image of a hideous—of a ghastly thing—of the GALLOWS!—oh, mournful and terrible engine of Horror and of Crime—of Agony and of Death!"

From the excerpt, we discover that the patch of white fur on the breast of the second cat brought the guilt of what he had done. As a result of his guilt, he loathed and dreaded the second cat.

Then when he could not find the cat after he murdered his wife, that dread left him. Here is an excerpt:

"The second and the third day passed, and still my tormentor came not. Once again I breathed as a free man.

The monster, in terror, had fled the premises for ever! I should behold it no more! My happiness was supreme! The guilt of my dark deed disturbed me but little. Some few inquiries had been made, but these had been readily answered. Even a search had been instituted—but of course nothing was to be discovered. I looked upon my future felicity as secured."

So this means the second cat, with the patch of white symbolized guilt.
