Refer to explorations in literature for a complete version of this story. read this excerpt from “the pit and the pendulum” by edgar allan poe. these shadows of memory tell, indistinctly, of tall figures that lifted and bore me in silence down—down—still down—till a hideous dizziness oppressed me at the mere idea of the interminableness of the descent. how does the first-person point of view most affect the meaning of the text? a. it shows the reader how the narrator feels about his captors and the fact that he is being held somewhere underground. b. it illustrates that the narrator is lost in his memories and afraid of them at the same time. c. it the reader understand the narrator's utter fear and hazy understanding of where his captors are taking him. d. it provides insight into the narrator’s fear of heights and how his captors knew this. the answer is c.

The correct answer is option C. In "The Pit and The Pendulum", the narrator is a held captive by the Spanish Inquisition. By using a first person point of view, Poe intends to make the readers understand the narrator's feelings during the torment of his imprisonment, and his restlessness in the middle of the tortures he is exposed to.

"everyday

use" was written by alice walker. this is a story about two sisters, dee

and maggie wanting to have the handmade quilt. maggie wants to use the thing

for its purpose, while dee appreciates it for being “her heritage”.   the quilt represents family heritage. it was

believed that only dedication and years of hard work can represent a  quilt. 

mama decided to give

the quilts to her less fortunate daughter, maggie because she believed that dee

could not hold the true meaning of their family heritage and   that she would not use the quilts for their

purpose. however, dee believed that maggie can’t appreciate the quilts just as

how she sees them, and she thought that the quilt will be put to “everyday use”

by maggie and within 5 years or so, the quilt will turn into a rag. in the story, dee strongly believed that maggie do not deserve the quilts.
