If the general is also a Cossack, then wouldn't his characterization of Ivan also apply to him? Contrast this with your initial impression of the general based on his manner of speaking and his appearance.

Answer and Explanation:

Let's briefly contextualize this question. General Zaroff is a hunter in the short story "The Most Dangerous Game". The main character Rainsford, also a famous hunter, accidentally lands in Zaroff's island and is invited by the general to hunt a different kind of game: men. Rainsford, who sees this practice as nothing but murder, refuses. Zaroff, then, proceeds to hunting Rainsford.

If the general is also a Cossack, then wouldn't his characterization of Ivan also apply to him? Contrast this with your initial impression of the general based on his manner of speaking and his appearance.

Both the general and his servant Ivan are Cossacks. However, this is how Zaroff chooses to describe Ivan:

"Ivan is an incredibly strong fellow," remarked the general, "but he has the misfortune to be deaf and dumb. A simple fellow, but, I'm afraid, like all his race, a bit of a savage."  

"Is he Russian?"  

"He is a Cossack," said the general, and his smile showed red lips and pointed teeth. "So am I."

Notice that Zaroff calls Ivan a savage, attributing that to his race. Shortly afterwards, he reveals he is a Cossack himself, while smiling. We can see the general is playing games with Rainsford. He comes across as an educated, wealthy man who is also prejudiced to, all of a sudden, call himself a savage. In a way, he feels superior to Ivan. However, he relates to the savage side of their race (this is not my opinion, it is the character's).

This contrast serves to show that the general has a sort of bestial side to him. He is an intelligent man who does not hesitate to kill other men just for fun. There is no humanity in him, even though he is apparently human. His manner and appearance are a disguise. Inside, Zaroff is worse than an animal, for even animals only kill their own species out of necessity.

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:

There is gradual shift of point of view in the story “An Occurrence
at Owl Creek Bridge”.

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.
