Answer 9

Okay, so if you say that is the theme, you want to start off by writing your essay and saying something like "The theme of this story is being buried alive."

Answer 10

ok thanks

Answer 11

Elements that are important for developing the theme of a story are most obviously the characters, the plot, conflict, and setting.

Without the characters you wouldn't be able to develop the theme because there would be no lesson to take from what the characters learn in the story.

Without the plot of the story, how are we going to know what it is about or what the lesson you take from the story is?

Without the conflict of a story, there is no problem, and therefore there is nothing for the characters to learn from.

Without the setting, sometimes the theme is based off of the setting, you can't have a theme without setting either.

Answer 12

That could be what you include in part 1, just make sure to include quotations from the story to help support what you are saying.

Answer 13

Ok

Answer 14

Have you ever experienced anything or read about something that compares with the theme of this story?

If you can't think of anything, I would just write and explain that you can't think of anything that you've ever experienced that you could compare with this story.

Answer 20

3.05 Reading Journal
1. Poe describes the sensations of being buried alive. What imagery does Poe use to help you hear, see, smell, and feel? 


2. The narrator suffers from catalepsy, a physical condition in which the individual cannot move or speak for hours or, in extreme cases, for months. According to the narrator’s explanation, what are some of the ways that one can tell a cataleptic is still living?


3. What simile does the narrator use describing his return to consciousness? What does the narrator suggest by using this simile and subsequent description?


4. As the narrator experiences fear, what techniques does Poe use to create suspense for the reader? 


5. What is happening to the narrator here? Use evidence from the text to support your answer.


6. The narrator describes one of his dreams. What happens and what is the significance?


7. How would you describe the narrator’s mental state? Are his actions rational?


8. What techniques does Poe use in the second paragraph to build suspense? What is the effect on you, the reader?



9. Based on the descriptions here, what has happened to the narrator?


10. How does changing sentence structure from long to short and choppy help build suspense? What emotions do you feel as you read?


11. What has happened? If you were the narrator, what would you feel hearing these voices?


12. The narrator explains how the circumstances of his night aboard the boat paralleled the circumstances of his worst fears. What are the similarities that he experiences? 


13. The narrator undergoes a major change. What did the narrator do in light of his experience on the sailboat? Do you think his reaction is a typical one of someone facing their fears? 


14. Think about the meaning of the last sentence. What is Poe saying in these final lines of his story?

Answer 21

Answer 22

Okay, give me a minute for the questions, also okay for part 2, so now you know what to do for parts 1 and 2, but hang on for part 3.

Answer 23

k thanks for the help :)

Answer 24

1. “The unendurable oppression of the lungs—the suffocating fumes from the damp earth.” Use this quotation to answer the question.

2. “We can detect a slow, unequal, and irregularaction of the lungs.”

3. “I awoke slowly. Just as the day dawns to the friendless and houseless beggar who roams the streets throughout the long desolate winter night—just so tardily—just so wearily—just so cheerily.”

4. Poe likes to extend the sentences to make it seem like something major is going to happen also I think it would have to do with the tone depending on how the reader is reading the story.

5. “Suddenly there came an icy hand upon my forehead, and an impatient, gibbering voice whispered the word "Arise!" within my ear.” The narrator is waking up to this unknown figure in his room.

6. “nearly comatose but somewhat conscious of the world around him” He can sense whats going on but can’t like do anything.

7. I would have to say that his mental state is scared or petrified. His rational state I think makes sense because he is scared of being buried alive.

8. He uses punctuation a lot. The effect it makes on me is making me curious.

9. He thinks he has been buried alive and he is trying to yell for help but no sound is coming out of him.

Answer 25

Part A:
The theme of this story is being buried alive. The story elements that are essential in developing this theme are the plot and the conflict. I know this because “The unendurable oppression of the lungs—the suffocating fumes from the damp earth—the clinging to the death garments—the rigid embrace of the narrow house—the blackness of the absolute Night—the silence like a sea that overwhelms—the unseen presence of the Conqueror Worm—these things, with the thoughts of the air and grass above, with memory of dear friends who would fly to save us if but informed of our fate,” he is describing being buried alive in the above sentence.

this is what i have for part A is this good?

Answer 26

10. It makes the reader want to know what happened next but to also read it a little quicker. Emotions I feel depend if I get attached to the character in the story.

11. I would probably start crying or screaming if I heard voices that I was unable to identify.

12. “The excess of this experience caused in my spirit a rejection of my old fears. My soul acquired tone—acquired temper.”

13. "I dismissed forever my apprehensions of live burial, and with them vanished the cataleptic disorder, of which, perhaps, they had been less the consequence than the cause.” He got rid of his fears.

14. Maybe to suppress our fears or try to overcome those so they don’t make us completely fear everything in life.

Answer 27

Yes! What you have for Part 1 is excellent!

Answer 28

ok so now part 2?

Answer 29

You have Parts 1 and 3 done now, so what would you like to write for part 2?

Answer 30

Part B:
I have experienced lots of things similar to this and have even read about this in other books. I have also heard about a lot of crazy stuff in this category on the radio. One of the things that has happened to me that is similar to this is when glass bottles were being thrown at me when I was younger and living with my mother. Blood was shed but its in the past now and I don't let it stop me from what I do today.

Answer 31
