Read the excerpt from Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher." I looked upon the scene before me -- upon the mere house, and the simple landscape features of the domain -- upon the blank walls -- upon the vacant eye-like windows -- upon a few rank sedges -- and upon a few white trunks of decayed trees -- with an utter depression of soul. What is the effect of parallelism in this excerpt? It emphasizes the impressive size of the House of Usher. It emphasizes the sizeable burden imposed by the summons. It emphasizes the frenzy of activity as the narrator approaches. It emphasizes the frustrating familiarity of the boyhood home

The effect of parallelism in this excerpt is:

B. It emphasizes the sizeable burden imposed by the summons.

Explanation:

"The Fall of the House of Usher" is a short story by author Edgar Allan Poe. The narrator of the story has been invited to his friend's house. However, once he approaches the residence, he is overcome with depression. This is clearly a burden to him, and the parallelism he uses to describe the house and the atmosphere is a reflection of that. All those details, given out one after the other, are supposed to show readers how sad and yet annoying it is for the narrator to have to come and spend time at such a gloomy place. The house itself seems depressed, lifeless.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)

for this, you need to remember something significant in your own life, for example, if you were bullied when you were younger, you can mention your memories on this and touch on how such treatment can harm other kids your age either physically or mentally. (racism, car crashes, a parent in the hospital are all very good subjects, think hard on it! )
