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.

Eliminate

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)

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.

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.

In a well-structured paragraph, evaluate the effectiveness of the allegory in Shirley Jackson’s story, "The Lottery.” Determine whether the story achieved its purpose. Provide three reasons for your answer along with evidence for each reason.

Sample answer: Shirley Jackson effectively achieves her purpose of making the audience think about blindly following traditions. She describes a town that follows an age-old tradition of choosing someone in the community to sacrifice. Different characters have different symbolic meanings. The children show how a new generation learns to follow a tradition without questioning it. The names of prominent town members Mr. Summers and Mr. Graves show symbolic meaning as well. The name Summers shows how the tradition happens continually, like a season. The name Graves highlights the fact that no one speaks out against the deaths. Jackson draws readers in with suspense before shocking them by unveiling that the lottery is a way of picking someone to sacrifice. This shock adds to the effectiveness because it forces a reaction out the readers.

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.

Slave labor was valuable because it produced cheap sugar that everyone wanted to buy. But if people stopped buying that sugar, the whole slave system would collapse. In the years leading up to the American Revolution, the women of New England refused to buy English products and English tea. The loss of income made London rescind some of the taxes it had imposed on America. Now this same tactic—boycotting—was used to fight slavery. Some 400,000 English people stopped buying the sugar that slaves grew and harvested. Instead, they bought loaves of sugar that carried a label that said, "Produced by the labor of FREEMEN"—the sugar came from India.

When the English looked at the sugar they used every day, Clarkson and the other abolitionists made them see the blood of the slaves who had created it. The very fact that slave-made sugar was so popular made it harder for the English to ignore the reality of slavery. Sugar was a bridge—like the sneakers and T-shirts and rugs that, today, we know are made by sweatshop labor. If you wanted the product, abolitionists forced you to think about how it was made. Slavery—a practice as ancient as human civilization—was becoming unacceptable, a form of inhumanity people could no longer tolerate.

Which sentence best states the authors' claim in this passage?

1) Sugar was so cheap that it made economic sense for people in England to buy loaves of it.

2) It was wiser for English people to buy sugar from India instead of the Caribbean.

3) Slavery was so widespread that it would have been foolish for the English to oppose it.

4) Boycotting was an effective and persuasive tool in the fight against slavery.
