Answer 6

Edgar Allan Poe does poetry work. so a literary piece would be one of his poems or something

Answer 7

Well a literary piece is obviously just writing piece, and from Google, I have learned is that a unity of effect is basically to basically decide how he wants the reader to respond emotionally to a writing piece, and how he uses all his creative juices to make sure that effect happens.

I've basically learned a years worth of information, in 5weeks. I filled out an entire composition notebook...I only have 3 pages left xD This is our last week and we are just reviewing cuz the final is a big part of our grade, so trust me, I know the stress.
