From Edgar Allen Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart"

TRUE! --nervous --very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses --not destroyed --not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily --how calmly I can tell you the whole story.

It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain; but once conceived, it haunted me day and night. Object there was none. Passion there was none. I loved the old man. He had never wronged me. He had never given me insult. For his gold I had no desire. I think it was his eye! yes, it was this! He had the eye of a vulture --a pale blue eye, with a film over it. Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees --very gradually --I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever.
The narrator maintains that he is sane, yet his actual words undermine this. Which line from this passage makes the reader question the narrator's sanity?

A) "He had the eye of a vulture --a pale blue eye, with a film over it."
B) "For his gold I had no desire."
C) "It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain; but once conceived, it haunted me day and night."
D) "Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees --very gradually --I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever."

Answer:

This is what I wrote (and it is not plagerized you can even check)

Explanation:

The sound that the narrator thinks he's heard at the end of the story is the old man's heartbeat but what he actually hears is his guilty conscious, because that is what is making him think that he can still hear the old man's heartbeat is that since he feels guilty about what he did his conscious is making it seem like the heart is still beating. In the text, it says that " I admit the deed-tear up the planks!-here, here! it is the beating of his hideous heart!" that shows how the narrator got tired of "hearing the heartbeat" so what he did was confess to what he did. The effect that the narration has on the story is that the suspense because in paragraph 17 we the audience are getting anxious because when the police arrive at the house were wondering at what time he will get caught.

The answer is (D)

Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees --very gradually, I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever is line from this passage makes the reader question the narrator's sanity. Hence, option D is correct.

What is the concept of the passage?

At the conclusion of the story, the narrator believes that he can still hear the old man's heartbeat, but what he actually hears is his guilty conscience.

This is, because of his remorse over what he did, the old man's conscience is making it appear as though the heart is still beating. "I accept the deed-tear away the planks!-here, ! It is the throbbing of his horrible heart," the text states. This illustrates how the narrator grew weary of "hearing the heartbeat" and decided to come clean about what he had done.

Thus, option D is correct.

Filmmaking is about control. The screenwriter controls the story. The director controls the actors. The camera operator controls what the audience sees.
However, one element that is very difficult to control is sound. If a film is being made outdoors, a noisy plane might fly overhead. A flock of geese might start squawking. An actor's stomach could grumble during a take. Worse, the footsteps of the filmmakers might be heard off-camera.
All of these things can ruin a film's sound. This is why films use Foley artists. Foley artists improve film sound by recreating it in a soundproof studio. They record themselves making footsteps and opening doors. They jingle keys in their pockets. They sit in old creaking chairs. These sounds are then used to replace the unwelcome sounds that were captured during filmmaking.
Foley sound was named after Jack Foley, who was born in 1891. Jack developed sound tricks that many filmmakers still use today. For example, he moved a cloth around in his pocket to mimic the sound of actors moving around.
Foley sound recording can be physically demanding. If a film showed an actor running and jumping, this probably meant the Foley artist had to run and jump, too. Foley artist Dustin DuPilka, who recorded sounds for the movie Men in Black, said, "If there's a lot of running in a certain [scene], you have to get ready to sweat all day."
Foley sound recording also requires a lot of creative thinking. Artists go to great lengths to get the perfect sound. For example, in the movie E.T., a Foley artist used a wet T-shirt stuffed with Jell-O for E.T.'s walk. In the movie Ice Age, a huge log was dropped into a pit of mud to create the mammoth's footsteps.
The next time you watch a film, listen carefully. Chances are that much of what you are hearing was created by a Foley artist.

A.
including step-by-step instructions so readers can record their own Foley sound.
B.

C.

They contain too little information

They contain too much information

Explanation:

Notes are used as a reference so that you can look back at them and quickly recognize key information. If they are hard to read, then you cannot use them. If they cannot be used as a reference, there is no point in even looking at them. If they contain too little information then you won't have enough details to answer questions or help you. If they contain too much information, then it may be hard to find the needed information.

They should include headings and formatting to help quickly find and recognize the information. They should contain symbols and abbreviations, again,  to quickly recognize the information. It should also summarize key information. Long, lengthy paragraphs are not recommended for notes because it makes information difficult to understand and locate.

In the context of the short story, how do people face death? The landlady hints at her sinister intentions throughout the text - do you think Billy should have realized her plans? Was he in denial of his own fate? Cite evidence from this text, your own experience, and other literature, art, or history in your answer.

Answers

Answer:

A) In the context of the story "The Landlady", people face death many times, without knowing they are initially.

Billy did think there was something odd about the way he was received and ushered in. Only that he kept excusing them away.

B) Billy, I think, should have realised her plans. There was nothing ordinary about an Inn that had had only two guests in two years and whose guests were still in the Inn.

Another pointer to just what she was capable of, was the fact that she was skilled in the ability to enbalm dead bodies.

C) Billy was probably under a spell and not in denial. From the moment he walked into the Inn. There were lots of clues to show that the Inn was unusual. First was the fact that with such a ridiculous price, he was the only guest that night and many nights before.

A guest in their right minds would have taken an objection to staying.
