I visited the harbor on Saturday, September 31. I was after a gang of smugglers operating out of a
four-engine sailboat docked at pier 3. A quick view of the vessel showed the anchor safely pulled up. I
walked up the gangplank onto the deck and looked for somewhere to hide. A barrel full of ropes seemed
ideal, so I climbed in and waited. It wasn't long before some men appeared. "We share the loot three
ways, like we always do," said one. The others nodded sullenly. Unfortunately, I chose that moment to
sneeze. They were onto me immediately, dragging me from the tight funnel. "A spy! Throw her
overboardl" cried the one with the black long sleeved shirt and the tattoos on his back. "Look behind
youl" I screamed, and as they turned, I dove into the murky river. Unfortunately, the smugglers
spotted me and finished me with a fatal shot.

Shakespeare opens the play with a prologue, which tells a shortened version of

how the audience experiences the play? Give specific examples to support your
answer.

Answers

The dramatic irony presented at the beginning of the story promotes curiosity and apprehension in the audience, which ends up generating suspense that motivates the audience to continue reading or watching the story until the end.

We can arrive at this answer because:

The prologue to "Romeo and J*" shows readers that the couple will tragically die at some point in the story.This is an example of dramatic irony, as the author has allowed readers to know the information the characters don't know.Therefore, the reader is curious and apprehensive about how the story will develop and how these deaths will happen.This creates suspense about how the narrative will settle down through the story.

Furthermore, the dramatic irony causes strong sentimentalism in the reader towards the characters. What makes the reader stay until the end of the story with the hope that the characters are happy before their tragic endings.

What happens to book owners when the firemen come to burn their books? In Fahrenheit 451

i saw a shooting star light night,brigette

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

A "falling star" or a "shooting star" has nothing at all to do with a star! These amazing streaks of light you can sometimes see in the night sky are caused by tiny bits of dust and rock called meteoroids falling into the Earth's atmosphere and burning up. The short-lived trail of light the burning meteoroid produces is called a meteor. Meteors are commonly called falling stars or shooting stars. If any part of the meteoroid survives burning up and actually hits the Earth, that remaining bit is then called a meteorite.

At certain times of year, you are likely to see a great number of meteors in the night sky. These events are called meteor showers and they occur when the Earth passes through the trail of debris left by a comet as it orbits the Sun. These showers are given names based on the constellation present in the sky from which they appear to originate. For example, the Leonid Meteor Shower, or Leonids, appear to originate in the constellation Leo. It is important to understand that the meteoroids (and therefore the meteors) do not really originate from the constellations or any of the stars in the constellations, however. They just seem to come from that part of the sky because of the way the Earth encounters the particles moving in the path of the comet's orbit. Associating the shower name with the region of the sky they seem to come from just helps astronomers know where to look!
