c

“‘hearing conor,’ he said, ‘i made sounds i’ve never heard myself make. to hear that your daughter was on the floor saying ‘no’ and holding her hands up and still be shot is just — it’s just ’ he tried to explain the horror of such knowledge, but it’s not easy.” ( paragraph 92)

Early photography and Daguerreotype Medium.

Louis Daguerre invented a new process he dubbed a daguerrotype in 1839, which significantly reduced exposure time and created a lasting result, but only produced a single image.

Louis Daguerre called his invention "daguerreotype." His method, which he disclosed to the public late in the summer of 1839, consisted of treating silver-plated copper sheets with iodine to make them sensitive to light, then exposing them in a camera and "developing" the images with warm mercury vapor.

Daguerreotypes became an equalizer among classes. No longer were likenesses only created for the super rich. An average person could walk into a portrait studio, sit for an image, and have the same product as the millionaire down the street. The popularity gave rise to picture factories

Views of modernity and capitalism heavily influenced Daguerre’s discovery because his main goal was to improve and modernize the process previously used to capture images and to upgrade what he saw using camera obscura.

People could start to develop a visual history, not only the rich could afford to have a portrait made, and people could collect images of their friends and family.

The correct answer is: simile

Through this text, we can see that the phrase "It is as if a great earthen pot has dropped from an unreachable rafter'' represents a comparison with the doubts that the narrator presents. This comparison is made through two elements that have nothing in common, but that the author uses to create a new meaning about one of them. This is done through simile.

Step-by-step explanation:

Thoreau states, “… When an acorn and a chestnut fall side by side… bothobey their own laws…” (3). This can be interpreted as success being obtainable withoutthe assistance of another. The acorn and the chestnut are two individuals that are uniquein their own way yet had the same result. The same goes for people; for those reachingthe same goal as another, it is much better to do it under your qualities and your own way.The purpose of this passage was for Thoreau to inform his audience on his viewson the government and its negative affects on civilization. With its restrictions, peoplecannot fully live up to their potential because the bureaucracy will always limit them.Thoreau wants his audience to become successful in their own manor and uses theserhetorical devices to sync with his readers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

●''Owl Creek Bridge'' isn't a first-person narration, meaning that it's not told from the perspective of the main character, meaning Farquhar. Instead, the text comes from a third-person narrator, or told by an external force or character.

●In some sense, Bierce presents readers with an unreliable third-person narrator. The narrator knows, the entire time, that Peyton is dreaming, but tricks readers into thinking that Peyton has escaped. By representing the scenes of Peyton's dream as reality, the narrator toys with the reader's emotions.

●In “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” a couple of shifts throughout the story change the entire story's point of view essentially bewildering readers. For instance, in paragraph five, a shift occurs when Peyton Farquhar closes his eyes right before he is to be hung.

●In paragraph 36 of "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," Bierce shifts from past tense to present tense. Bierce writes that "now he sees another scene . . . he stands at the gate of his own home." The effect here is that the reader believes Farquhar has truly escaped and made it home.

Step-by-step explanation:

George and Lennie dream of getting their own farm. George wants the independence that comes with owning his own land, and Lennie wants to have rabbits. Their dream is the central theme in the story. It is their dream that brings them to the ranch, and that dream spreads to Candy and Crooks.

George is small while Lennie is burly in terms of physical size. George is cunning and calculating while Lennie is obtuse and carefree. But from the early scene where the two stopped to drink water, you can already perceive that George is the one who looks after Lennie.

Lennie and George have an argument over a mouse that Lennie has petted a little too hard and long. Lennie wants to keep the dead mouse in his pocket, but George throws it away.
