Read the following passage carefully before you choose your answers
In this excerpt from a short story published in 1933, the narrator is reminiscing with some of his cousins.
We talk about cousins like these for a while, but we go on finally to people we knew more intimately, people whose characters have left us, even after all these years, something to wonder about. We speculate
on how and when Robert Allard began taking morphine, and what induced Maggie McLean to turn Jim Crenfew down for a nincompoop like Edward Brewer. Somebody has seen the notice of Maggie's death
in a New Orleans paper. We think of it, but we cannot take it in. We see her as she was when she first came to Merry Point to visit, a frail, high-spirited girl who made us all indignant with her outrageous
treatment of Jim Crefew. We talk on like that until we have called to mind almost all the people who ever came here in the old days. We hold them in our minds until they seem to live again. I look up through
the branches of the sugar tree to where a light burns dimly in one of the upstairs rooms. Girls might be dressing there for a party. At any moment, I may hear the rumbling. explosive laugh of Jim Crenfew.
At such a time, none of us three will stop talking We keep up the illusion, with a name has a name there. Seeking to make the scene more complete, we cast about on the fringes of our enormous family
connection What ever became of this cousin, or how was that person connected? It is then that Tom Rivers's name will be mentioned. Infrequently, I say. One or two summers will go by, and I may not hear his
name. And then it will be spoken, and I have always that start, half pleasure, half pride, and I realize that no matter whether I hear his name or not he is never out of my memory
There is a curious thing I have observed. If you sit day after day, summer after summer, in a chair under the same tree, you will notice how the light falls under and through the boughs to strike always in the
same pattern. You notice how it falls that way year after year, changing only with the seasons, and you think how you might go away and suffer death or torture by fire or flood, and the light always at the same
hour in that season will be creeping around the bolel of that beech tree
It is like that with me when I think about Tom Rivers. I cannot understand how it was that he disappeared, leaving nowhere any trace of his going. I sit here in the late afternoon, and the long lances of shadow
start from the garden fence and move slowly on, past the big sugar tree and past the beech tree, to halt for a moment at the little sugar tree that stands not fifty yards from my chair
When they have moved past. I see that the hunched, dark shadow that seemed to me a rooster standing with his back to the western light is really only a clump of dog fennel. I see it happen like that almost
every afternoon, and with it comes always a fresh wonder at the restless, hurried movements of human beings. The light can fall like that evening after evening on some tree or flower, and yet a man that one
has known intimately can vanish as we always say of Tom Rivers, off the face of the earth

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.

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.
