Which three parts of this excerpt from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death" highlight the suggestion that the powerful and wealthy in the story are insensitive toward the outbreak of the disease and those who are suffering?

The "Red Death" had long devastated the country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was its Avatar and its seal—the redness and the horror of blood. There were sharp pains, and sudden dizziness, and then profuse bleeding at the pores, with dissolution. (The scarlet stains upon the body and especially upon the face of the victim, were the pest ban which shut him out from the aid and from the sympathy of his fellow-men.) And the whole seizure, progress and termination of the disease, were the incidents of half an hour. (But the Prince Prospero was happy and dauntless and sagacious. When his dominions were half depopulated, he summoned to his presence a thousand hale and light-hearted friends from among the knights and dames of his court, and with these retired to the deep seclusion of one of his castellated abbeys.) This was an extensive and magnificent structure, the creation of the prince's own eccentric yet august taste. A strong and lofty wall girdled it in. (This wall had gates of iron. The courtiers, having entered, brought furnaces and massy hammers and welded the bolts.) They resolved to leave means neither of ingress nor egress to the sudden impulses of despair or of frenzy from within. The abbey was amply provisioned. With such precautions the courtiers might bid defiance to contagion. (The external world could take care of itself. In the meantime it was folly to grieve, or to think. The prince had provided all the appliances of pleasure.) There were buffoons, there were improvisatori, there were ballet-dancers, there were musicians, there was Beauty, there was wine. All these and security were within. Without was the "Red Death." (It was towards the close of the fifth or sixth month of his seclusion, and while the pestilence raged most furiously abroad, that the Prince Prospero entertained his thousand friends at a masked ball of the most unusual magnificence.)

The options are shown with a ( ) around them.

Answer 1

The parts of excerpt from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death" which highlight the suggestion that the powerful and wealthy in the story are insensitive toward the outbreak of the disease and those who are suffering are:

“But the Prince Prospero was happy and dauntless and sagacious.”  

“The external world could take care of itself. In the meantime it was folly to grieve, or to think.”

“The prince had provided all the appliances of pleasure.”

The story “The Masque of the Red Death" by Edgar Allan Poe is literally and allegorically about death. Prince Prospero wanted to hide from death but is left not rescued from it. He arranged a party where he invited people from his kingdom. He ordered to decorate the halls with single colors each. The last hall was colored black which symbolizes death and the windows were painted red. There was an ebony clock which strikes everyone’s attention at the passing of every hour. Though people were busy in the celebrating the party with music and orchestra but at every hour when the clock rings which caught everyone’s attention. The tone in which Poe describes the rooms, the clock, the ringing of the clock, the activities of the people and the entry of death in the party gives an insight about the play that death is inevitable. Death is the central theme of the play. The Poe wants to focus on the issue that no one can be rescued from death by applying any means.

3: Protagonist has a fatal flaw

4: Tragedy of the play flows from the fatal flaw

Explanation:

The sentence shown above was said by Kellogg in his acceptance speech. In this sentence he is referring to the existence of people who present an alternative perspective to that presented by the Parris Pact, which prohibits the development of wars between countries that wish to resolve disagreements between them.

People who have an alternative perspective, believe that this treaty is not enough to prevent wars, but that it is necessary for a world court to aggressively punish people who created these wars.

Explanation:

Plot is a sequence of events that begins with a climax and ends with a falling action. exposition and ends with a resolution. a rising action and ends with a climax. exposition and ends with a rising action.

Answers

Answer:

Plot is a sequence of events that begins with an exposition and ends with a resolution.

Explanation:

Plot is the sequence of events in a story that are connected to the main characters. Those events happen in the context of conflicts that build up tension, until a final conflict is addressed and resolved.

Plots begin with the exposition. This is the part of a story in which the author sets the stage for what will happen. It is in the exposition that we get to know the characters, some of the conflicts, the setting, etc. This will help us understand the unfolding of the story.

Resolution is what comes after the climax  (the big conflict that has been building up), when the conflicts have been solved and things have worked out. This is how the story ends.

The correct statement is: "Plot is a sequence of events that begins with exposition and ends with a resolution."

In traditional storytelling, the plot typically follows a structure that includes exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. Here is a breakdown of the components:

Exposition: This is the introductory part of the plot where the setting, characters, and initial situation are established. The main characters, their relationships, and the story's background information are typically presented in this phase.

Rising Action: The rising action follows the exposition and involves a series of events and conflicts that build tension and develop the story. It introduces obstacles, complications, and challenges that the main characters must overcome.

Climax: The climax is the turning point or the most intense and significant moment in the story. It is the peak of the conflict and the point of highest tension or drama. The outcome of the story's main conflict is usually determined at this stage.

Falling Action: Following the climax, the falling action occurs. It involves the events that unfold as a result of the climax and leads towards the resolution. The intensity of the story decreases, and loose ends may start to get tied up.

Resolution: The resolution is the final part of the plot where the story's conflicts are resolved, and the narrative comes to a conclusion. It provides closure and may reveal the ultimate fate of the characters or offer a sense of resolution for the main storylines.

It's important to note that not all stories strictly adhere to this linear structure, and variations or modifications can be found in different narratives. However, the general understanding is that plot encompasses the sequence of events from exposition to resolution.

letter to pacify my cousin's father who got angry by his daughter getting pregnant at high school

Answers

Answer:

Letter to my cousin's father to pacify him about his high school going daughter's pregnancy.

Explanation:

ABC Avenue

New York

11 May 2009

My dear uncle,

I know you must be angry and disappointed with the news of my cousin Lily's pregnancy. But I would like to request you to kindly read my letter to the end.

What has happened is in the past. Cousin Lily is also distraught and depressed, afraid that you will do something harsh to her. But think of the unborn baby in her belly and how scared the mother and baby will be feeling. You are the only one who can turn things for everyone. You are the head of the family and whatever you decide will be the future of everyone involved.

So, please think rationally and decide, and not come to a rash judgment. Be a support system for her at times like this, for there will be lots of others criticizing her and she needs her family to be there to run to. If you set aside your anger and be open and forgiving about the situation, Lily will also be experiencing firsthand what being a parent entails. She will learn to make sound judgments even at times of crisis.

Moreover, having positive energy around the mother and child will help them in the long run, instead of the baby growing up from a broken family, not even knowing her grandparents.

I hope you can understand what I am trying to say. I will visit as soon as I can and I am hoping for a positive response from you soon.

Take good care of everyone and will see you soon.

Love,

Betsy.
