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.

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

Explanation: Parallelism is the use of elements that are similar, they can be similar in grammar, in sound, in structure, in meaning or in meter. In the given excerpt from "The Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allan Poe, we can see a clear example of parallelism in the use of the phrases starting with "Upon" ("upon the vacant eye-like windows", "upon a few rank sedges", "upon a few white trunks of decayed trees", etc), this parallelism helps emphasize the burden imposed by the summons.

more likely to elicit laughs and rude remarks rather than screams and rooting interest.

joe leydon

variety

while it's not a terribly original entry in the "creepy doll" horror subgenre, this fright flick nonetheless offers interesting characters, a strong cast, expert pacing, and a spooky atmosphere.

themselves

an intensive pronoun is a pronoun that ends in self or selves, such as himself, herself, themselves, yourself, ourselves. since band members is a third person plural, the correct intensive pronoun would be themselves. if the band was talked about as a collective noun, itself would be the appropriate intensive pronoun. intensive pronouns are used to add emphasis to the noun it's modifying which is why it directly follows it.
